It is imperative that you receive the proper in-person care FIRST, for any Orthopedic or Musculoskeletal Diagnosis. All individuals in the PT Community have completed in-person care, have been cleared to resume exercising, and have been encouraged to resume an active and healthy lifestyle.
--------------------------------------
*KEEP IN MIND .... Dr. O’Connor is over 50 years of age, has undergone multiple Orthopedic surgeries, and utilizes this program to remain flexible, strong, active & to prevent future injuries.

What equipment will I need for the MyPTCare Community exercise programs?
Dr. O'Connor likes to pride his programs on an "Excuse-Free Exercise Approach"!!
This means that minimal-to-no equipment is required and exercises can be performed Anywhere and Everywhere! Body weight is often utilized as the resistance, and Dr. O'Connor will provide progressions with basic items that can be found around the home, such as: water bottles, bath towels, pillows, etc..
For those interested in utilizing basic equipment, a Resistance Band Kit and some light hand weights can be used. Dr. O'Connor provides guidance withing the PT Community on the components of the Resistance Band Kit and where to purchase.
Is there a schedule I need to follow, or can I participate when it's convenient for me?
There is a Monthly Event Schedule that is posted within the PT Community, and active participation is encouraged.

Is this considered Physical Therapy "treatment" and will my insurance pay for my PT Community membership?
This is not a replacement for in-person Physical Therapy Care! If you have experienced an injury, have recurrent pain, or are recovering from a surgery, you must receive the proper in-person care first!
ALL PT COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT WITH THEIR MEDICAL PROVIDER TO ENSURE THEY ARE NOT RESTRICTED FROM EXERCISING AND TO RECEIVE APPROVAL BY THEIR DOCTOR, TO ENROLL IN THE MYPTCARE COMMUNITY.
The PT Community is ideal after you have "graduated" (e.g. been discharged) from in-person care, for many individuals are unsure of what to do next?! This is often where individuals get confused, feel lost, experience a recurrence of symptoms, or just stop exercising all together.
Don't Let This Happen!! The PT Community is ideal for filling that void, eliminating confusion and progressing your overall Health & Wellness to a level that meets or exceeds your goals!
-------------------------------------------
Some insurance programs will consider reimbursement for the MyPTCare Community. This is based on your specific insurance, so please call the number on the back of your health insurance card, to check your "fitness benefits" for possible reimbursement.
