Transitional care in a physical therapy outpatient clinic refers to the continuum of care provided to patients as they transition from one phase of treatment to another. This phase typically occurs after the initial rehabilitation phase and before the patient is discharged from therapy. During transitional care, the focus is on maintaining progress, preventing regression, and preparing the patient for independent management of their condition or injury. This may involve adjusting the treatment plan, introducing new exercises or techniques, and providing education on self-management strategies. The goal of transitional care is to ensure a smooth and successful transition for the patient as they move towards a more independent and functional state. By offering support and guidance during this phase, physical therapists help patients continue their rehabilitation journey and achieve long-term health and wellness.

Brooklyn Body Works Physical Therapy began as an idea to bring the highest quality physical therapy to all people in our community. We wanted to offer the best that NYC has in health care while not marginalizing people based on socioeconomic boundaries (race, income, language, religion, etc). We offer a “concierge style service” and continue to accept many commercial insurances, medicare and even medicaid policies.
Since this is a physical therapy session which will require a physical examination and therapeutic exercise (varies by patient), we ask all our patients to come prepared. Please come dressed in loose fitted clothing that will allow for easy mobility, comfort, and access to the area of complaint. In addition we recommend sneakers with soles that grip to prevent slips or falls.
The need for a referral depends on what type of insurance you have. Most insurance plans do not require one, however some insurances do. For example, if you have HIP, you will need a referral from your primary care physician. We ask that you check to see what your health insurance plan requires prior to your initial visit. If you are unsure, please contact our front office and we’ll do our best to determine whether or not you require a referral.

Each patients case and diagnosis is unique and requires the development of an individualized plan of care. Your physical therapist will give you an estimate of the number of sessions needed to reach a level of “feeling better”, during your initial evaluation.
Over time the number of visits may increase or decrease from the initial estimate, based on the progress made.
Brooklyn Body Works Physical Therapy accepts many of the available major insurance plans as well as alternate payment options, including cash/self-pay, to make our services accessible and affordable. Please visit the link below to view all information pertaining to Payment Options.
