Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the country and as allied health professionals we need to act. The APTA has seen the importance in addressing this healthcare issue as shown in their curriculum for the Vision 2020 initiative. Currently physical therapists are treating patients with orthopedic problems, who are also overweight. While therapists may have discussed their patient’s weight, they may not feel comfortable treating this problem. Having Physicians’ Choice for Weight Loss in your clinic gives you the tools to safely, legally, and effectively treat this growing patient population.

The program, designed by Jeff Gilliam MHS, PT and overseen by a scientific advisory board, is truly a lifestyle change with no gimmicks or fad diets. While addressing these problems through physical therapy, a lifestyle program that facilitates weight loss can play a critical role in achieving relief of joint pain, improved function and improvement in the patients, overall health.
