What is it:
DSR is a physical therapy and wellness service developed by Matthew J. Taylor, MPT, RYT. The services are based on emerging integrative medical science, addressing the many systems that influence your health.
How is it different?
DSR differs from traditional physical therapy and fitness service in a number of important ways:
The roles of the client and the therapist: We believe for healing to take place, both must take an active role in the process. There is no passive or dependent role for the client:we do not 'do' things to you and ask you to return for more. We work together to discover what allows you to gain independence and best care for yourself.
We use appropriate and effective tools to address all aspects of your health challenge. Working together we discover if your condition is affected by not only the physical, but also the psychosocial and spiritual systems. No incense and crystals - legitimate tools and techniques for integrative medicine.
Your care will be one-on-one with a professional - no machines run by unlicensed aides or gym workouts by a trainer. You will also have the option of working in a professionally led group program to make use of the exciting benefits of community based medicine.
Who should not seek our services:
Those individuals who:
- Want someone to do something to them to cure them.
- Don't want to do the demanding work of healing.
- Already have all the answers
- Are content with being dependent on returning for unending "maintenance" visits.
- Won't invest in their health if it isn't completely covered by their insurance.
Who should seek our services:
Those individuals who:
- Didn't experience satisfactory relief from other traditional services.
- Want their care grounded in science, not fads.
- Know there must be a better way and are willing to work to find that way.
- Want to look deeply into the meaning and causes of their health challenge
- Have complaints that confound others and who want to minimize pills and surgeries.
What type of diagnoses do we serve?
We work with a wide variety of health challenges because we address the whole person and their related system influences. While we work with people who have traditional challenges like orthopedic complaints (spine and joint pain, osteoporosis, etc) and neurological complaints (stroke, MS, Parkinson's, etc), we also serve less traditional concerns to include balance disorders, TMJ, headaches, bladder control, chronic pain and other movement disorders.
Our experience has been that very few people have a single isolated challenge. Because we address all of the systems that make up a person's experience, our patients regularly return noting improvement of quality of life in their rest, their level of contentment, and their ability to resume "normal" participation in the activities of life that matter most to them.
