How is our approach to healthcare different than others?
THE RYAN FERNS HEALTHPLEX
• Avoid costly treatments, tests, and visits that are not proven to improve outcomes based on scientific research. Profit is expected from increased volume of patients generated by positive word of mouth from consistently good outcomes and lower costs.
• Teach treatments that the patient can use to make life-long changes in health, fitness, and functional mobility without always relying on returning to the practitioner.
• Emphasize treatments that provide lasting improvements in function.
• Encourage patients to learn self-care and independence.
• Rely on objective measurements of strength, endurance, and functional mobility to gauge progress.
