Frequently asked questions
Thrive prides itself on being a family. As part of that family, you can expect a personalized experience in our one on one care environment. Your experience begins with a meeting with a physical therapist - there, they discuss strengths, weaknesses, and goals for your rehabilitation. This defines your experience. Every single staff member cares deeply about you, wants to help you achieve your goals for PT, and gives a holistic approach to exercises that blends functional medicine and practical lifestyle requirements to maintain these changes after you finish PT. This is what sets Thrive apart from other practices - it’s a PT experience catered to you, in an environment you will enjoy, and will help you establish and maintain health and fitness standards long after your time in PT.
Thrive Rehab's physical therapists examine, evaluate, and treat patients who have conditions such as back pain, neck pain, burns, wounds, osteoporosis, developmental disabilities, carpal tunnel syndrome, and countless other conditions affecting your ability to move freely and without pain.
Our physical therapists are evidence-based health care professionals who offer cost-effective treatment that helps improve motion and relieve pain.
Yes you can! Thrive Rehabilitation believes in open access to medical treatment and patient advocacy. If you have a valid prescription, that "script" allows you to choose where YOU would like to go. We accept valid prescriptions referred from any treating doctor, with any companies logo on it. You have a choice! We accept most insurances and give you a free insurance verification to let you know your benefits.
Yes you have a choice. As a patient you are allowed to choose where to get your physical therapy treatment. As a new patient we offer FREE consultations to see if Thrive is right for you. We have an open conversation about how your injury is affecting you and how we can help. We can then call your doctor and explain why we are different, and how we can help your medical treatment while under their care. We can speak to you and your doctor together, if you would like, to make sure everyone is agreeable. Once you choose Thrive Rehab we will then start the initial evaluation and get you started on your road to success.
Improving Mobility and Motion:
Motion is essential to your quality of life. Whether it is an everyday task such as emptying the dishwasher, a sports activity like golf, or an essential activity such as performing their job, our team can help you experience improved mobility and function. Our physical therapist also helps to prevent injuries and promote a healthy lifestyle by improving strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination.
Providing a Conservative Option to Surgery:
While surgery can be the best course of treatment for certain diagnoses, there is evidence to indicate that physical therapists can offer an alternative. Considering conservative options to surgery is the start of quality care. Physical therapy is one of these options for many individuals.
When there is a need for surgery, our physical therapist can enhance the outcome both before and after surgery. Additionally, for those individuals whose health conditions prevent surgery from being an option, Thrive can be the best alternative in helping them improve or maintain the quality of your life.
Managing Pain Effectively Without Long-Term Use of Medication:
Thrive's physical therapist can help patients control pain, often reducing the need for long-term use of medications. Studies reveal that individuals who receive physical therapy experience greater improvement in function with less pain. While recognizing that medication is an essential component in the management of many acute and chronic conditions, our physical therapist can provide an alternative to the long-term use of medications for the management of pain and certain other health conditions.
The State of Michigan no longer requires a physician’s signed prescription for physical therapy. The State allows therapists to perform an evaluation and provide treatment without a prescription for 10 visits in 3 weeks. If we believe treatment will extend beyond this time frame we will need you to visit your doctor. If we believe you should see a doctor prior to the start of treatment we will let you know.
Please Read: While the state has allowed direct access to a physical therapist, it may not be covered under insurance. Some insurance companies still require a prescription for physical therapy even after the expansion of direct access. Call our office with you insurance information and we would be happy to check for you. If not, we can put together a payment plan to fit your needs!
The problem with modern medicine: Most clinics cannot even give you an estimate of what your therapy will cost. Here at Thrive we know everyones insurance is different. This means every patient will have different deductibles, copayments, co-insurance and patient liability. We do our best to give you an estimated cost per visit once we complete your insurance verification. Every visit can be different, thats why educating you is our top priority.
To receive a free insurance verification today call or text 248-733-3885 or email info@thriverehabmi.com
*We will need to collect your name, date of birth, insurance card.
