Episode 46B Raymond Butts DPT PhD opines on one of the biggest problems with physical therapy.

Dr. Natalia Sikaczowski, PT, DPT, CSCS, Cert. DN, BFR-C
Dr. Natalia Sikaczowski founded Symmetry Physical Therapy in 2014 with the fundamental belief that patients should be treated on an individual basis. Dr. Natalia believes patients should be given a diverse array of treatment modalities and techniques, along with progressive and varied exercises and manual intervention to ensure maximum recovery. This all-encompassing approach, along with Dr. Natalia’s strong background in strength and conditioning has led to Symmetry’s successful treatment programs for patients looking to get back into sport, recover from injury, or beat chronic pain.
