Clinician’s Corner by the Residents PICO: Influence of Exercise on TMD
A RENEWED & REFRESHED COMMITMENT TO PTSMC’S MISSION The first ever Organization Inservice Roadshow is complete! If you were able to make one of the four sessions you know I spent some time talking about PTSMC’s mission. Having recently read Simon Sinek’s book, Start With Why, I was inspired to look at our mission statement more closely to reflect upon the role it’s played in our success over these past 19 years.
I also found myself inclined to review the “why” of our mission from an internal perspective. With the addition of one word, my focus sharpens to our most valuable asset: OUR PEOPLE
In his book, Sinek profiles a number of successful companies and writes of doing business in “the what, the how, and the why.” One of the points that struck me was the idea that great employees and great companies should know what and how they do what they do; this could mean building motorcycles, flying planes, securing the best prices for costumers, etc.
My deliverable is to focus on the internal reflection of improving the quality of PTSMC’s people’s lives. By doing this successfully, PTSMC employees can and will want to focus on
To me, the most powerful point Sinek made was that truly exceptional companies and their exceptional people perform to the best of their ability when they understand and believe that the “why” of what they do matters. The first line of our mission statement brings PTSMC’s “why” into clear focus:
“Improving the quality of people’s lives” is a
commitment each of us makes to the people and communities we serve. It is this commitment that challenges us to continually deliver on the tenets of “Unmatched Experiences, Clinical Excellence and Lifelong Relationships.”
“Improving the quality of PTSMC’s people’s lives.”
“Improving the quality of people’s lives.” In my presentation, I spoke of my commitment to keep our mission statement at the forefront of all we do. I am confident that maintaining our commitment to delivering on our mission both externally and internally assures continued growth and success. Growth creates opportunity for all our people and allows us to provide a “PT for Life” experience to the expanding number of people and communities we serve. What you do is extremely important. Thanks for improving the quality of so many people’s lives. Alan

“Erik Olsen is an extremely competent & professional therapist, and the staff is fantastically warm, helpful & friendly, especially Mickie Picheco. I couldn't be happier with this group. I would highly recommend PT for Life to anyone who needs physical therapy.” - Southbury “I have been bothered by a pain in my right hip for the past 7 years; 3 cortisone shots later, multiple inflammatory medications, 6 weeks of PT in another practice, and little relief. I thought I would have to deal with this chronic pain for the rest of my life. I had relief after one visit with Travis and most importantly I finally understood what was wrong and what we needed to do to fix it. Thank goodness I found this PT practice!” - Avon “Not only was the treatment helpful in getting me back on track, but also making me feel better than I did before my injury. The clientele was very knowledgeable and had consistent positive attitudes during treatment.” - Watertown “Flexible schedule without compromising care. I always feel like I am a priority, even when there are multiple people being treated at once.” - Newington “John Galer, who was my physical therapist, was very, very good. He helped me not just know what exercises I should do, but why, which made it easier for me to buy into the concept.” - Guilford
