JSC Physical Therapy

What is physical therapy?

Physical therapy is a licensed health care profession that deals with restoring function, alleviating pain, and improving mobility, stability, and muscle strength as a result of physical impairments caused by injury, disease, or other processes.

After a thorough initial evaluation of the patient’s neuromusculoskeletal system, the physical therapist devises a treatment plan based upon the patient’s individual needs. A physical therapy treatment may include: manual therapy, such as soft tissue and joint mobilization, or massage; therapeutic exercise; neuromuscular re-education; and/or the use of physical modalities such as hot/cold, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation.

In the state of New York, a referral for physical therapy from your M.D., D.O., N.P., or D.D.S is no longer necessary for the first 10 visits. Some insurance companies will still require a referral but at JSC it won't make a difference since we no longer accept or process insurance claims for payment of services.

Physical therapy at Jocson Strength and Conditioning

At JSC, every patient receives a detailed explanation regarding the possible causes of their condition based upon their initial evaluation. Self-awareness is one of the keys to successful rehabilitation and we at JSC take pride in our holistic approach to patient care. We help the patient to understand that their symptoms may be the result of some not-so-obvious underlying cause. A classic example is in a patient with chronic low back pain. The problem may be somewhere other than the lower back. It may stem from a problem either above or below the area of pain. The low back pain is the end result of compensatory wear and tear due to a lack of use or inefficiency of movement in areas such as the cervical and thoracic spine, the pelvis, or the lower extremities. It may also stem from causes other than the physical body such as emotional, mental, and spiritual dysfunctions. Because of the complex nature of difficult conditions, all patients at JSC go through the holistic approach of the C.H.E.K. program.

What to expect

The initial evaluation can last about 2-5 hours, depending on the severity of your condition, and each treatment session about 30-60 minutes. One patient, one therapist, no distractions.

We do not accept any forms of health insurance nor do we deal with any paperwork or phone calls related to insurance companies. Since we take an eclectic approach to healthcare and physical therapy is just one modality we provide, our care is beyond the comprehension of health insurance reimbursement.

Highly integrated and holistic approach addressing the physical, as well as the emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of one's condition.

Michael Jocson is one of the few health care providers who actually practices what he preaches (a rarity in the health care profession).

We rarely have repeat customers. WHY? When you help one to heal themselves, the healing occurs more than just on the physical level. It goes beyond the emotional,mental, and towards the energetic (spiritual) level which allows for an individual to lead a happy, fulfilled, balanced, and harmonious life. So when an issue arises, an individual no longer plays the vicitm role and becomes the hero of their mythology.
