3 Miles Wide and 3 Feet Deep: The Power of Primary Care PT | PT Pro Talk Podcast
In this video, we explore the unique role of Primary Care Physical Therapy, often described as "three miles wide and three feet deep. Unlike traditional specialty areas like orthopedics, neuro, or pediatrics—which dive deeply into one body system—primary care PT offers a broad, holistic view across multiple systems. While the depth in each specific area may vary, this approach allows therapists to assess and manage a wide range of conditions, serving as a vital first point of contact. Importantly, primary care and specialty expertise aren't mutually exclusive—practitioners can blend both to provide comprehensive, patient-centered care.
