Whole-Person Physical Therapy Beyond the Band-Aid Approach

 

Do you have pain that traditional physical therapy hasn’t been able to resolve? Have doctors been unable to explain your symptoms, offering only a “Band-Aid” approach with orthotics, medication, or corticosteroid injections? If so, you’re in the right place.

 

Dr. Richards tailors each physical therapy session to the individual, helping patients return to their daily routines and the activities they love. She takes the time to perform a thorough musculoskeletal and neurologic examination while also listening carefully to each patient’s needs, goals, and lifestyle.

 

Through her years of practice as a physical therapist, Dr. Richards has seen the limitations of traditional clinical settings for individuals who want a more personal experience or need extra time and attention. She began offering out-of-network care so she could spend more one-on-one time with patients, provide individualized treatment, and care for each person as a whole—not just a diagnosis—without the restrictions often dictated by insurance companies.

 

Dr. Richards primarily offers services at 217 High Street in Chestertown, Maryland. She can also see patients in their homes or through telehealth for evaluations and treatment sessions.

As a runner, hiker, yoga enthusiast, and adventure seeker, Dr. Richards understands how important it is for patients to return to the activities and routines they enjoy after an injury. By working with each person’s unique needs, preferences, and comfort level, she helps patients move toward that goal with confidence.
