Depending on location, pt Health clinics offer physiotherapy, massage therapy, occupational therapy, acupuncture, psychology, hand therapy, and chiropractic among other services. pt Health also provide patients with custom bracing, orthotics, compression stockings, and home rehabilitation products.
As a company, pt Health has remained true to their clinical roots with the focus always on delivering the highest quality of care to their patients.
Leveraging research, resources, and 20 years of experience in clinic and practice management, pt Health recognized the need for software as a service and business process outsourcing in their own clinics. They invested significant time and resources into the development of healthcare technology. This led to the creation of a spin out company from pt Health focused on healthcare, technology, and centralized services.
