I have been licensed and certified in the health and wellness professions for almost 25 years.

Athletic stretching focuses on enhancing flexibility, mobility, and performance for active individuals and athletes. It helps reduce the risk of injuries, improve recovery time, and increase overall physical capability, enabling clients to perform at their best during sports and workouts.

In accordance with guidelines from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), physical therapy services must be deemed medically necessary to qualify for coverage. Medical necessity is determined by a licensed physical therapist based on a comprehensive evaluation, aiming to improve, maintain, or slow the decline of a patient’s functional status. The CMS emphasizes that therapy services should be provided by qualified clinicians and must require the skills and knowledge of these professionals. Documentation must clearly support the medical necessity of the services provided, demonstrating that they are appropriate for the patient’s condition and require the expertise of a qualified clinician.
they are appropriate for the patient’s condition and require the expertise of a qualified clinician.
According to the APTA, medical necessity for physical therapy is defined as the requirement for services that are essential to diagnose, manage, or treat an illness, injury, or medical condition. These services must align with accepted standards of medical practice and be specific to the patient’s condition, focusing on restoring function, reducing pain, and improving mobility. Documentation must demonstrate that the care provided is reasonable, necessary, and requires the specialized skills of a licensed physical therapist. Medical necessity ensures that physical therapy interventions address a medical issue and contribute meaningfully to the patient’s recovery or functional improvement.
By adhering to these standards, physical therapy plays a vital role in patient care, ensuring that treatment is provided only when it is clinically justified and beneficial for the individual’s health and functional capabilities.
Non-medical physical recovery issues refer to conditions or challenges that do not require a medical diagnosis or intervention but significantly impact an individual’s ability to feel and function optimally. These issues include generalized stiffness, muscle tension, minor discomfort, limited flexibility, or decreased mobility due to lifestyle factors such as prolonged sitting, stress, or lack of regular movement. Wellness care and stretch therapy are holistic approaches that address these concerns, focusing on prevention, post-recovery care, relaxation, and enhancing overall physical performance. By improving flexibility, reducing tension, and promoting better movement patterns, these services provide a pathway to maintain and optimize physical well-being.
Once a patient has been discharged from a physician’s supervision in combination with being discharged from a physical therapy episode and/or chiropractic care, the condition is now considered a lifestyle issue or a wellness issue. This transition highlights the importance of ongoing self-care and proactive wellness strategies to sustain and further enhance physical health and quality of life.
