Resolve Injuries

Resolve Acute or Nagging Injuries

Declining physical ability or nagging pain is not inevitable. Our approach to the whole body allows our clients to return to doing the things they love without pain, and minimizes the chance of future injuries. Sitting and sleeping become more comfortable, pain resolves and they live better lives. Soma Science^® focuses on the interconnected movement and interface of your muscles and skeletal system. We do not limit what we address to just where the discomfort is felt. A limitation often encountered by most health practitioners due to insurance reimbursement requirements that can limit what they do. We investigate and strengthen all of the body parts that interact with the area of discomfort and bring them all up to optimal performance to solve the pain issue at its source.

Not Inevitable

Often as people go through life they develop nagging injuries that they come to accept as “the new normal” or attribute to getting older. A good example of this is nagging low back or neck discomfort. Many times our clients tell us that they had tried to solve the problem but gave up. We teach you sustainable techniques to align your body and improve your strength so that the discomfort resolves. You will learn what causes problems for your body and ways to prevent that from happening.

Physical Therapy at Well Effect®

Thank you for considering us for your health care needs. All of our staff are Doctorate Physical Therapists with added training in Lifestyle Health and Fitness^TM. That added training includes weight loss, nutrition, body composition and strength, stress management and flexibility. We have been working with clients in Bedford on a self-pay basis and introduced insurance in 2018. Unlike most locations you might go to for physical therapy, we do not have physical therapy assistants or aides working with you and at each visit you work one-to-one with a physical therapist. This one-to-one approach with a skilled physical therapist is very helpful for your progress to be continually monitored and adjusted and to make the biggest difference for you.

Your First Visit

When you are here during your first visit a Physical Therapist will evaluate your injury and will likely spend an hour doing so. Based upon this evaluation and using clinical experience and reasoning we will diagnose and confirm your injury. This will become the foundation from which we will develop an individualized plan for your care for your follow-up visits each of which will be for about 30-38 minutes. A Physical Therapist will be working for and providing your care based on this plan and following the rules and guidelines of your insurance company. Financially, you would be responsible for your deductible (if any), your co-pay and to do daily homework of about 15 minutes per day.

Your injury, overuse or acute and its effect on your body

We want you to understand that injuries occur and may reoccur for a variety of reasons. Our experience in working with our clients has clearly demonstrated that any primary injury whether acute or by overuse, has likely been influenced by other parts of your interconnected musculoskelatal system which has likely been affected by your lifestyle. It is also just as likely to have created alterations and compensatory changes in other areas of your muscles and joints, in effect other injuries may develop the longer the primary injury has been present. For most people the most uncomfortable or painful injury, what we call your “chief complaint” is the one that gets attention. As the chief complaint is addressed and starts to heal the other areas often start to be noticed. If these other injuries are not addressed, the primary injury often comes back. Many of our clients, before coming to us, have spent a lot of time with a reoccurring injury until they made the commitment to address the other issues at the same time.

Insurance Rules and Medical Necessity

Under the rules and guidelines of insurance companies and to meet a reasonable standard of care it is not easy to use health insurance for multiple injuries at the same time. We have found that many of our clients sought us out specifically for the fact that we can address multiple injuries at the same time, in effect their whole body. Our entire Lifestyle Health and Fitness^TM approach grew out of this need with our 100% self-pay model. Today, we can attend to your primary injury with your insurance and work in a self pay manner on the rest of your body and/or lifestyle to achieve the biggest impact on your overall health and physicality. If you choose to add this self-pay time for our Soma Science^® services, this would add about 20-30 minutes to your visit to complete the hour that you are here. You would continue working with our specially trained physical therapist but they would now be in a role as your Soma Science^® Instructor to improve overall health and fitness.

Add Lifestyle services while you are here

If you select to add this option with our self-pay Soma Science^® Session add on, during this time we would address all of the other needs of your health and fitness including weight loss, nutrition, body composition and strength, stress management and flexibility. This Soma Science^® Session add on would also give you the ability to come in and use our Center on your own while you were in our care. Let us know if you would like this add-on service to let us work with you to restore balance and strength to all areas of your body.
