What Makes Zang Physical Therapy Different

The Beginning of Zang Physical Therapy

Zang Physical Therapy became an idea in 2015. I was nearing the end of my fellowship training in orthopedic manual physical therapy, and came to realize I wanted something different for the patients I treated.

After spending time with a mentor in his practice, I knew exactly what I wanted. I wanted to take his mindset of controlling all details of patient care and seeking to empower them in the process. I wanted to deliver a high level of service but knew this could not be done in the traditional model. A new model, more like the Concierge concept in medicine would be necessary. This model is done in other parts of the country and I wanted to bring that model here to Central PA.

I realize this concierge model may seem a bit out there to some. Zang Physical Therapy is seeking to deliver a higher level of care and to achieve the goal this new model must be employed. If you have questions regarding this model, please contact me so I can explain how it is YOU can truly benefit from this approach vs the traditional model. I never liked hearing this phase before, but it is true…you get what you pay for. So, if you want a higher quality of personalized physical therapy, please come see me at Zang Physical Therapy in Camp Hill, PA.

I am not one for guarantees, BUT I can almost guarantee with confidence that if you sit through even one treatment session with me you will understand the difference. It always makes me happy to hear from patients that they cannot believe the thoroughness and attention to detail, how the treatment they received is like no other they have been to before. So if you want to experience this unmatched personalized attention for your rehab, please give me a call.

Mission of Zang Physical Therapy

Zang PT will provide unmatched personalized attention and access to care for individuals aged 40+ who are looking to remain active while avoiding pain medication, injections, and even surgery. We will serve individuals who are limited by pain, fearful of pain, worried about their future mobility or independence, and have a strong desire to get or remain active who are willing to do anything necessary to achieve their goals.

Our goal is to break down barriers of nervousness, skepticism, doubt, fear, or worry that often limit individuals from making the best decisions possible for their health. As a result of positive interaction and discussion, clients will be able to make confident decisions to better their health and thus lead to greater enjoyment of life. We will help individuals regain the ability to participate in activities with their family and friends as they age without worry, concern, hesitation, fear of pain or disability. And we will assist those looking to prevent the loss of activity/mobility by addressing concerns early, before they become limiting.

We will strive to meet each client’s personal goals and needs in an effective and efficient manner. We will promote overall health and wellness beyond assisting rehab or improving functional mobility deficits so that clients can remain or regain the active lifestyle they desire. Clients will be empowered to self-manage (their condition) and become advocates for their health, learning the importance of early intervention.

We will develop an in-demand model for therapeutic rehabilitation and wellness that improves the lives of our clients and the community to reduce the cost burden of chronic disease and mobility limitations. Our clients will understand and value proactive care to guide them toward greater enjoyment of activities as they age.  Because of their experience, our clients will want to share their positive experiences with others, thus perpetuating and furthering community wide education, engagement, and developing a happy following of clients.

From this position, Zang PT will fulfill our desired goals and role within the community as a leader in promoting improved health and wellness by providing excellent care to our clients.
