The Power of Collaboration in Healthcare

Including friends, family and other healthcare providers improves outcomes!

Physical therapy isn’t a solo effort. To get the best results, we work closely with your doctors, specialists, and—most importantly—your family. Research shows that when healthcare providers communicate and coordinate care, patient recovery rates improve by 30%. That means fewer complications, faster progress, and better long-term outcomes.

But it’s not just about the medical team—it’s about you and your family, too. Recovery is tough, and having family support can make all the difference. Studies show that patients with engaged family members see a 25% increase in adherence to home exercise programs. And family education is just as important. When caregivers understand what to expect, hospital readmission rates drop by 26%. That means fewer setbacks and better quality of life for you – whether you are recovering from a stroke, a broken bone, or are working on improving your balance.

This is why we encourage family members to attend therapy sessions, learn techniques, and ask questions. Your recovery isn’t just about what happens in the clinic—it’s about what happens at home, too.

In this month’s Wellness Connection video, Dr. Matt explains the importance of collaboration in all facets of healthcare — and introduces a new video series to connect with other members of the local healthcare community.

In case you missed it…

The Allied team had great time learning about the role of “tension” in our lives, and how it helps us grow as individuals and as a community. Just like muscles need tension to get stronger, organizations need tension to grow. A big shout out to the best physical therapy team ever! Exciting things are happening at Allied PT WC!!!

Taking care of our own! Dr. Krystyne is helping Dr. Emily with some upper extremity issues. Even our staff needs treatment from time to time! 

Dr. Matt never misses an opportunity to get in a little physical fitness – always practicing what he preaches! This past weekend, he took to the trails for a little mountain biking with his son – where they counted no less than five tortoises!
