Company Profile
Damon Anderson & Associates Physical Therapy
Company Overview
Our 2 clinic practice is the perfect balance of a small practice feel, with the benefits of having a larger team to collaborate with and learn from. DAPT was founded in 1988, and is the longest operating PT clinic on the Monterey Peninsula. We believe in the power of physical therapy and the power of our team working together to achieve optimal outcomes for our patients. We are strong supporters of the McKenzie approach to Mechanical Diagnosis and Treatment of Spinal and Extremity Disorders. However, we use an eclectic approach to treating using whatever technique or framework that will achieve optimal results for each patient be that EIM, Mulligan, Paris, Evjenth, Kaltenborn, Cyriax, Cook, Gray, Osteopathic, etc. Our PT to Aide/Trainer ratio is currently 1:1. We schedule two patients per hour so a staff member is always attending each patient (the treating PT or their aide/trainer). Our Billiing Staff is onsite in the main clinic, which is a huge benefit for communication and assisting patients in understanding complicated health insurance benefits.
Our mission at DAPT is to:
1) Relieve Your Pain
The first step is to get your pain under control. Our physical therapists are experts at targeting the source of your pain so we can begin to relieve it quickly.
2) Recover Your Function
Our overall mission at DAPT is to help you recover and maximize your function after injury so you can return to and sustain an active and productive lifestyle. For each individual this will mean something different.
For some it may mean competing in a challenging sport at a high level--maybe even division one college athletics or professional level sport. For many others it will mean returning to their recreational activities and work with renewed abilities after injury. In later years it may mean keeping enough physical ability to maintain independent living and enjoy life.
3) Teach You How To Participate in Your Recovery
We emphasize empowering you to participate in your own recovery. You will be educated on your particular injury or condition so you will understand how to facilitate your own rehabilitation process. A treatment program is designed to restore your body to a maximum degree possible. You will participate in setting your rehabilitation goals. The rehabilitation program will involve specific exercises, proper body mechanics, expert manual therapy when needed, and treatment to speed up physiological processes involved in healing.
4) Provide State-of-the-Art Treatment
We use the most current and evidence based treatment available in physical therapy and rehabilitation. The McKenzie Approach to Mechanical Diagnosis and Treatment method allows us to quickly evaluate spinal and other orthopedic problems and start relieving the pain and disability quickly. A key part of this system is the importance and effectiveness of empowering you to help manage your condition through home exercises and techniques to better care for yourself throughout each day.
5) Give Personal Attention
Our physical therapists will apply expert hands on treatment to help restore mobility and relieve pain.
6) Provide the Optimal Environment—Facilities and Equipment
Our clinics are equipped with state of the art fitness and rehabilitation equipment.
We have available the latest in physical modalities including many types of electrical stimulation, ultrasound, vasopneumatic intermittent compression, cryotherapy, moist heat, and phonophoresis.
