Overcoming Barriers to Physical Therapy
Access to physical therapy in America is hindered by challenges such as time, transportation, and cost, leading to many patients not completing recommended sessions. Less than 50% of patients are able to stick with traditional in-person therapy options due to these logistical issues. A digital solution has been developed to eliminate these barriers, allowing patients to engage in therapy from home with a tailored program. By utilizing virtual platforms, patients can receive individualized care without the need for frequent travel to therapy sessions.
