Soccer Game Day: U.S. vs Germany
We have the Soccer spirit at First Choice Physical Therapy!! We are very excited about the game. Even those of us that don’t usually follow the sport. Fortunately we have our own German import, Simon Haussmann, who is making sure we understand the nuances of the game. Though each of us might lean towards one team winning over the other team, the friendship everyone here has for each other should keep things from getting too ugly as we root for our favorite. We all agree that what we want the most is an exciting game highlighted by some awesome shots. Here’s hoping both teams play the very best that they can!
No referral needed…
In our wonderful State of Florida, you can choose where you receive Physical Therapy services and do not need a referral from your physician? The Florida State Physical Therapy Practice Act allows patients to be seen by the Physical Therapist of their choice without the need of an order from any physician. There are some exceptions that are mandated by certain insurance carriers requiring a referral from a Primary Care Physician. This makes Physical Therapy easily accessible, efficient and affordable.In a recent study, “Physical therapy for acute low back pain: associations with subsequent healthcare costs”, it was concluded that “Adherence to the recommendation for active care was associated with better clinical outcomes and decreased subsequent use of prescription medication, MRI, and injections. Improving adherence to this recommendation may present an opportunity to improve the cost effectiveness of care for acute low back pain.” There are many other studies that show the effectiveness of Physical Therapy interventions, but not all therapy clinics are created equal or employ the qualified individuals needed to get the quality outcomes. Bottom line…be a consumer of your own health care.

We have officially launched!
Wade Rinehart, Mayor Gayle Oberst, Ambassadors of the Panama City Beach Chamber of Commerce and about 100 other family, employees and friends were on hand for the Grand Opening Ceremonies of the new First Choice Physical Therapy clinic at Village of Grand Panama.Those that attended enjoyed snacks, cookies and cakes with the highlight being Another Broken Egg’s Shrimp and Grits. The threat of rain kept Elvis off the stage for a little while, but the weather improved enough for Todd Alan Herendeen and the band to play for most of the next 3 hours. We really had three main themes of our happy gathering. The Grand Opening ribbon cutting and plaque were center stage, but we also used the time to remind people of our support of All My Heart Haiti and to celebrate Wade’s 40th birthday.
Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers. Here are just a few of the 200+ photos snapped during the fun.
Grand Opening Tomorrow!
Saturday, May 10th is a big day for First Choice and owner, Wade Rinehart. Please join us from 3:00 – 6:00pm at Village of Grand Panama on Hutchison Blvd, between Shipwreck Island and Edgewater Resort.
We will have some snacks, cold soda and water. We have decorated a couple of the empty units at Village of Grand Panama so that you can cool off. Mayor Gayle Oberst is joining us for the ribbon cutting in front of First Choice Physical Therapy at 3:30pm. Todd Harrington is giving us some Elvis entertainment next to the fountain. Hess Entertainment is bringing Garth Brook’s old tour bus over so you can see how the Country singer had to rough it on the road. We have a Hawaiian theme everywhere in honor of our Hawaiian shirt Fridays.
Wade has even more to be happy about. It’s his 40TH Birthday!! So put on a Hawaiian shirt and come tell him Happy Birthday and get a tour of our newest clinic!

Love your local business
Some of the local resources we have used are:
Lynn Haven Ledger – over the years we have used many different advertising methods. The one we like the best is the Lynn Haven Ledger. We just love the “good news” feel of this paper. If you haven’t ever read one, we really encourage you to pick one up. It really is the kind of paper you want to read from front to back!
Health Care Monthly – Another paper that has real appeal to us, not just to read but also as a way to increase the readers knowledge of physical therapy (and other medical issues). Our ads have ranged from physical therapy specific to your health in general to invitations to the Grand Opening of our new beach clinic on May 10, 2014.
Premium Outdoor Signs – They have about 20 signs in all locations of the county. Right now we are using one in the Springfield/Callaway area at Transmitter Rd and 15th Street.
We love Lawnscapes and how well they take care of us. All the little extras we do for you once you come inside to make you feel comfortable and at ease about your care, actually start outside. Every time you pull into our facility, you cannot help but notice that everything you can see is pretty and calming. This past year Lawnscapes really came through for us as we did some major landscaping. We moved trees, added a rock garden and retaining wall, replaced flowering plants and redid a lot of bushes, too!
Your Invitation Is Ready
We are looking forward to seeing you at our Grand Opening on Saturday, May 10th. There will be tours of the facility and at 4:30pm Panama City Beach Mayor, Gayle Oberst, will be on hand for the ribbon cutting.Do you need more reason to come out? How about Cake? Light hors d’oeuvres? Sodas and tea?
You still need more? You guys are a tough sell! Ok, lets step it up with a little help from Hess Entertainment. We will have Garth Brook’s old tour bus and internationally known Elvis impersonator, Todd Harrington has agreed to give us a little bit of sample of his awesome tribute to The King!
Seriously, we will be there from 3:00 – 6:00. Swing on by. Stay for a few minutes and see the beautiful new clinic or stay the whole time and enjoy the afternoon with us.
