Physical therapists (PTs) are the unsung heroes of healthcare, helping patients recover mobility, manage pain, and regain independence. This October, as we celebrate National Physical Therapy Month, it’s the perfect time to recognize the essential role PTs play. For healthcare facilities, having skilled PTs on staff is non-negotiable for providing top-tier care. At WSi Healthcare Personnel, we understand the critical need for qualified PTs and offer staffing solutions that keep your facility running smoothly. Let’s explore why skilled PTs are vital for patient recovery and satisfaction, and how partnering with WSi can ensure access to the best talent when you need it. 

Physical Therapists: The Backbone of Patient Recovery 

PTs are key to patient rehabilitation. Research shows that 79% of patients experience significant improvements in mobility and pain management with physical therapy. Skilled PTs create tailored rehabilitation plans, reducing recovery time and preventing future injuries. With 8 out of 10 patients choosing physical therapy over surgery, having highly qualified PTs on staff is crucial for delivering effective, non-invasive care. 

PTs Boost Patient Satisfaction 

Patient satisfaction is a direct reflection of the care your facility provides, and skilled PTs make a huge impact. 93% of patients receiving physical therapy report high satisfaction, largely due to the personalized attention they receive. On the other hand, understaffed or unqualified PT teams can lead to lower satisfaction and retention. With 65% of patients citing provider competence as a key factor in their care experience, highly trained PTs are a must-have for healthcare facilities. 

Growing Demand

The demand for PTs is projected to grow by 22% by 2032, driven by an aging population and increased focus on non-invasive treatment. This presents a challenge for healthcare facilities trying to meet the demand in a competitive job market. WSi Healthcare Personnel is your solution, providing fast access to skilled PTs for temporary, permanent, or PRN staffing, ensuring your patients always receive the highest level of care. 

Partnering with WSi Healthcare: Your Competitive Edge 

At WSi Healthcare Personnel, we connect healthcare facilities with experienced, credentialed PTs who are ready to make a positive impact. Our thorough screening process ensures that every PT we place is highly skilled and passionate about patient care.

  • Access top talent: Our network includes PTs with expertise in specialties from sports rehab to geriatrics. 

  • Benefit from flexible staffing: We offer short-term and permanent placements tailored to your needs. 

Skilled PTs: A Smart Investment for Your Facility 

Physical therapy isn’t just key to patient recovery—it’s also a major cost-saver. For instance, it can reduce healthcare costs by 72% for patients with lower back pain by preventing unnecessary surgeries and opioid use. Skilled PTs also help shorten hospital stays and improve overall outcomes, making them an invaluable asset for any facility. Without access to trained PTs, facilities risk compromising patient care and satisfaction. Investing in skilled PTs is a smart move that benefits both patients and your facility’s bottom line. 

Celebrating PTs During National Physical Therapy Month 

As we celebrate National Physical Therapy Month, it’s time to recognize PTs for the incredible work they do—and ensure your facility has access to the best talent. With more than 18,000 new PT positions expected by 2032, demand will only increase, and WSi Healthcare is here to help you stay ahead.
