Nathaniel Said:

different between outpatient and inpatient physical therapy?

We Answered:

Inpatient simply means that the patient does not go home at night. An example of this could be the medical surgical setting...PT that occurs while someone is still in the hospital. They ususally see patients who are post-surgical or with a new stroke, etc. This could also refer to inpatient rehabilitation. This is a setting where the patient has recovered enough to medically be out of the hospital, but is functionally not ready to go home. An example of this would be an acute inpatient rehabilitation facility or an extended care facility.

Outpatient means that the patient really only has a need for occasional therapy services. They are functionally well enough to reside at home. Examples of this could be a free-standing outpatient orthopedic clinic, or a day rehabilitation program, etc.

For your volunteer hours, I would recommend checking out a hospital based clinic or a free standing acute rehabilitation facility that also has an outpatient clinic. You are more likely to get both settings that you need.

Going to PT school? Good luck! Be sure to get your letters of recommendation.

masssage therapy at a physical therapy clinic?

We Answered:

Massage cannot be the main focus of a physical thearpy treatment...most insurance companies do not pay for massage, but a short course of "manual therapy" may be included in what the physical therapist charges. However, it must be part of a more comprehensive program that includes treatments to improve physical function: exercise, gait training, etc.

In our clinic, if we feel the patient would benefit from massage above and beyond what is to be included in their regular physical therapy, we do refer them to the massage theapist, but the client pays out of pocket for it, and it is optional.
