When I entered Physical Therapy School in 1996, health care was very different from how it is today. Quality of care was paramount. Individual attention was necessary. Patients saw the same therapist every time they had an appointment. Therapy was not about how many widgets you could produce, but it was about making people better. Today, Physical Therapy is a numbers game. Quality of care, individualized attention, and continuity of care don't exist. Insurance dictates what Physical Therapists do and how we do it. Health Care companies expect us to produce crazy amounts of income for the company at the expense of quality care and the patients' true needs. After decades of experience in the field and witnessing this as well as copious amounts of fraud, Optimus Farm Physical Therapy was born in 2018 with a serious commitment to quality of care, and the individual needs of each patient. If you come to my clinic, I promise that you will have the best experience in Physical Therapy that you will ever have.

Do you notice your horse behaving a bit different lately and ignore the behaviors in the hopes they will go away? Subtle changes often indicate injuries which will only progress with time. Tail flicking or swishing, teeth grinding, pinned ears, opening the mouth while being ridden, and being unnecessarily spooky are a few of the things which can be indicators of your horse being in pain.
You can prevent minor problems from turning into major problems, by getting your horse evaluated and treated before the horse starts to break down in some way. Our horse rehab options are sure to get your horse back to happily performing his or her best.
We are also a unique boutique Physical Therapy Clinic for people: riders, other athletes, pediatrics, and geriatrics alike. You can come to the clinic, or Tootie can travel to you and give you the individual one on one attention and care you deserve in your home or office.
