PTplus
PTplus is a program designed for the patient who needs ongoing physical therapy oversight in the management of their neuromuscular or musculoskeletal condition. Some patients experience a regression or worsening of their condition after completing the acute phase of physical therapy. Most insurance companies do not recognize the need nor do they cover the ongoing concerns of these patients. PTplus allows those patients to continue their programs to maintain functions they have re-gained on an affordable, self-pay basis.
TOSPT's PTplus
All people using the facilities of the pool or gym at TOSPT must be considered a current patient. Anyone who has been previously seen by a physician for a specific condition has direct access to physical therapy services at TOSPT. These people are considered self-pay patients and there is no filing of insurance benefits. All clients of PTplus must have a current Plan of Care (POC) on file with TOSPT. That POC can be a Discharge Plan from the acute physical therapy intervention or an evaluation done by one of our licensed physical therapists who will guide you in the program you need. Each patient will have a re-evaluation every six months to monitor the POC and update its relevancy. Physical Therapists are always available to help patients in the PTplus program with questions or concerns about problems that may arise.

Exercise and the PTplus Program
This is a voluntary exercise program that will help you improve your cardio-vascular and overall level of function and maintain your activities of daily living. A physical therapist will tailor the program to fit your specific needs, as well as detect any physical condition that would limit or prohibit you engaging in the exercise program.
Getting Started With PTplus
If you are a recently discharged patient, talk with your physical therapist about getting started by filling out the PTplus Patient Information Form and the Informed Consent for Exercise Participation. If you have never been a patient at TOSPT, call 877-8855 for an Initial Evaluation appointment with a physical therapist. More information and the necessary forms can be downloaded from our web site, www.tospt.com, or you may come by our office at 3334 Capital Medical Blvd., Suite 300 in Tallahassee to pick them up. While there, you may take a tour of the facility.

With a training philosophy to make all clients function better and feel better each time they leave the facility, our Professional Staff members make a dynamic team. There are 9 physical therapists, 5 with Doctorate degrees, at the facility, 2 Certified Personal Trainers and 3 Certified Athletic Trainers. There is also a Licensed Massage Therapist available for appointments. With this staff of highly trained professionals, your exercise and maintenance success after recovery is only a matter of becoming a part of TOSPT's optimal PTplus exercise program.
I have been a member of PTplus (formerly Executive Fitness) at TOSPT for almost twenty years. I had a complete spinal fusion with Harrington Rod in 1977 for progressive scoliosis and was developing some pain issues. I had heard that water aerobics was an "up and coming" treatment option for all things orthopedic. It was important that I have access to trained medical personnel (i.e., physical therapists, exercise technicians) who understood my particular medical problems. Also having issues with osteoporosis, I was told that weight-bearing exercise was important.
I have faithfully exercised at this facility three days a week for two hours at a time (one hour in the gym and one hour in the pool) and I can honestly say I feel great, am pain free and am "addicted" to exercise. Four years ago I had both my knees replaced and because of my great physical condition my doctor did both at one time. I did my rehab at TOSPT where I already knew and loved everyone.
As a "Senior Citizen" I enjoy the interaction with the students, learning about their studies and goals in life and talking sports with the athletes I meet. TOSPT has become very important to me socially. Because I spend so much time here, I have made many friends. We hold each other accountable, share our aches and pains, our travels, our families and socialize together. That's also a vital part of what exercise can do in your life.
