How We Approach Physical Therapy

Have you previously been to physical therapy where you were passed from therapist to therapist, where you did a series of exercises while the therapist ran around the crowded clinic to see their other 3 patients? At Prue Physical Therapy and Sports Performance will utilize a ONE ON ONE treatment model, which means you see the same clinician every visit and that clinician spends the entirety of your visit with you. We believe that a combination of hands on manual therapy, a supervised exercise program where the therapist actually looks at the way you move opposed to just counting reps, and patient education is the best way to get fast results. Time is spent making sure the patient understands why they are performing a specific exercise and how it is supposed to feel. Higher quality of care and focused attention means fewer visits and better results than a traditional physical therapy clinic. Nothing is more satisfying to a patient or a clinician than seeing that patient have less pain, move better and meet their goals quickly, which is why we use this ONE on ONE model.

Prior to Duke, Kevin was a college baseball player who encountered a series of arm injuries, which ultimately lead him to the field of physical therapy. Due to his personal background, he places a high value on injury prevention programs for youth athletes and maximizing an athlete’s biomechanics in order to keep them in the game pain free. Kevin believes that each patient who comes to Prue Physical Therapy and Sports Performance requires a program specific to their needs and goals, which is why he believes they deserve a therapist’s full attention during their visit. Unlike other clinics where a therapist may see 3 or 4 patients at once, Kevin spends his focus on one patient at a time, providing appropriate hands on manual therapy or supervised exercise programs, with the attention to detail that is unparalleled by other clinics.
