Physical and Occupational Therapists

The frontline of fall defense

Be a part of the solution.

As healthcare professionals, you well know the danger of falls. But unfortunately, there’s hasn’t always been a practical, effective program to which you could refer patients and through which you could provide your own services. Now StandStrong is changing all that with its proven focus on delivery of individualized physical and occupational therapy.

Falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries among older adults and physical and occupational therapy is the most effective way to prevent falls. Unfortunately, only a small fraction of older adults receive any type of physical therapy or occupational therapy aimed at helping them reduce their chances of falling.

StandStrong is helping to bring fall prevention physical therapy and occupational therapy to older adults by (1) increasing awareness of how effective physical therapy and occupational therapy is in reducing falls, (2) helping physical therapists and occupational therapists start and grow their own practices focusing on fall prevention interventions in patients’ homes and (3) creating a network of specially-trained physical therapists and occupational therapists to provide fall prevention services in clinics and patient homes throughout the country.

Start Your Own PT/OT Practice

StandStrong firmly believes that the best place to help people avoid falls is in their homes and the most effective way to provide physical and occupational therapy in a patient’s home is by therapists in private practice.

The StandStrong team has helped setup more than 100 PT/OT practices. We provide all of your practice setup services including your company formation; Medicare enrollment; Medicare Advantage contracting and credentialing; scheduling, documentation and billing system setup/training; fall prevention training; patient deductible and copay collection setup/training; dedicated phone number, fax number and email address; and all other steps necessary to start your practice.
