Physical Therapy Services We Provide
Here at EverStrong Physical Therapy & Fitness we want to help our patients move and feel their very best. Using evidence-based research and techniques, we strive to go above and beyond for our patients, both during their season of care, and as they transition after their rehabilitation is complete. Our mission is to improve the health and wellness not only of our patients, but of the entire Bellingham community.
What is Evidence-Based Physical Therapy?
Physical therapists who use evidence-based practice integrate clinical experience with the use of research evidence in order to make clearly informed decisions to help maximize and optimize patient well being. Recently, a push for the use of evidence based medicine and evidence based practice patterns has permeated most health care disciplines. The use of evidence based practice in physical therapy improves healthcare quality, reduces medical errors, helps balance known benefits and risks, challenges views based on beliefs rather than evidence, and helps to integrate patient preferences into decision making.
