1st Annual ‘PLANK TIL YOU TANK’ Challenge Hosted by Hampton Physical Therapy

March 22nd, 2017 News

It may have been a cold winter day but things quickly heated up back on January 29th during the exciting ‘Plank Til You Tank’ challenge at Winnacunnet High School. The WHS winter sports teams showed off their endurance skills with one of the most challenging core stability exercises known as ‘Planking’.

One of the clinics in our network, Hampton Physical Therapy, hosted ‘Plank Til You Tank’ as not only a way of supporting local youth, but also educating the benefits of Planking. The Plank is one of the most effective total body moves that strengthens your core, legs, and upper body. Plank can even help prevent injury! Risk factors of low back are thought to begin in school aged children and therefore research suggests it is “desirable for children and adolescents to perform moderate-to-high intensity dynamic core exercises during physical education warm-up to improve trunk and core muscular endurance.” Core stability exercises have been found to be more effective than general exercise in the prevention of low back pain.

Winnacunnet winter sports teams competed against each other to win $500 for their Team! The team that averaged the longest plank took the prize! Congratulations go to the WHS Track and Wrestling teams who were each awarded $500!
The overall winners received an annual membership to The Seacoast Sports Club. Hampton Physical Therapy was thrilled with the turnout and the friendly, competitive spirit shown by all participants and congratulates all the winners!

PRN Winter Updates

January 21st, 2017 Uncategorized

We have had, and will continue to have, a lot going on this winter!

1:  We hosted our first quarterly clinician mentorship session at Portsmouth PT in November. 25 clinicians from various Pinnacle affiliates attended an in-house skills session covering thrust and non- thrust manipulative techniques for the lumbar spine. We successfully discussed current evidence,clinical decision making, demonstrated and practiced multiple techniques to foster advanced practice and limit practice variation. The event was well received and expected to grow. Our Hampton location will host the next event in Q1 of 2017! The topic will be ‘Current Evidence and Treatment for Cervical Spine’.

2: We have successfully trained on and implemented Medicare’s new therapy evaluation codes. Medicare and other insurance companies have changed the PT evaluation code from one code to three, based on the complexity of the patient. These codes each have a complex set of criteria and we are confident that our preparation, training, and internal auditing that has occurred over the last several months will have prepared us well.

3: Pinnacle is undergoing a major project to improve the security, capability and reliance of it’s cloud-based computer infrastructure. We are confident that this move has provided our clinicians and staff with the fastest and most reliable electronic working environment.

4: Pinnacle hosts its annual holiday season gathering 1/21 at the New England Aquarium in Boston!

 

 


PRN Clinic Costs vs. Hospital Costs

December 30th, 2016 News

Our offices throughout New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, and Connecticut are committed to excellence, focused on getting patients back to being their very best. With top talent and the latest in healthcare education and technology, we work to get our patients healthy, and happy, once again. Further, we are able to complete our work efficiently and in a cost-effective manner – leaving patients’ wallets happy and healthy as well! Our network of private clinics is much cheaper than local hospitals, and we’ll let the numbers speak for themselves:

ppt-mms-comparison

For this pricing comparison, we are utilizing mymedicalshopper.com, a terrific tool that you can use for that you never have to overpay for medical services ever again! To get these values, we’ve compared what a PT Evaluation at Portsmouth Pinnacle Therapy would be against the same Evaluation at a Regional Hospital. As you can see, that’s quite a bit of savings! Digging deeper to see just how these numbers stack up, we can review the details of each quote as well:

ppt-bundled-pricing-from-hospital

ppt-bundled-pricing-from-pt-clinic

 

You’ll note that while at the lesser price, a patient is actually getting the higher level of care at Portsmouth Physical Therapy. While both places offer the Evaluation, as well as any Therapeutic Exercises and Manual Therapy, it is Portsmouth Physical Therapy that includes Electric Stimulation Therapy and Vasopneumatic Device Therapy – going the extra step so that you can be pain free in taking your next steps!

The costs associated with a private clinic are such that we can do our job the right way – professionally and effectively.  So the next time you or a loved one is looking for physical therapy, look no further than the Pinnacle Rehab Network.  Make an appointment with one of our nearby offices, and we’ll schedule to see you as soon as possible.
