NEW PHYSICAL THERAPY FACILITY OPENS ON BRIDGEWAY STREET IN AURORA

A new physical therapy facility, Aurora Physical Therapy, is now available in the Library Court Medical Arts Building in Aurora.  Conveniently located at 107 Bridgeway Street, Aurora Physical Therapy is less than two blocks from the intersection of US 50 and State Route 350.

The new facility is staffed by experienced licensed Physical Therapists who are attuned to helping individuals gain their optimum level of strength, endurance, mobility and flexibility.

“We look forward to serving patients from throughout the region given our flexible schedule and convenient location,” stated Ed Brush, MSPT/ATC, Director of Aurora Physical Therapy and Dearborn County Hospital Director of Physical Therapy.  “Many people are already familiar with our location since we are in the same building as Dr. Jack Freidel.

“At Aurora Physical Therapy, we see patients for a variety of diagnoses, such as balance disorders, dysfunction of the lower extremities (ankle, foot, hip or knee), dysfunction of the upper extremities (elbow, hand, shoulder or wrist), musculoskeletal disorders, spinal pain and sports-related injuries,” Mr. Brush continued.  “Rehabilitation can include fall prevention, industrial rehabilitation, neurological rehabilitation for stroke or traumatic brain injury patients, postoperative orthopaedics, the return to sports program or work reconditioning.”

“Ed Brush and his staff are top notch,” expressed Andy Magee, soccer coach and longtime resident of Lawrenceburg.  “This was my fourth knee rehab and it is nice to have such a knowledgeable team of professionals available here in Southeastern Indiana.  The care I received at Aurora Physical Therapy during my rehabilitation was excellent.” 

“Aurora Physical Therapy is credentialed as a free standing independent clinic owned and operated by Health Services Corporation, a subsidiary of Dearborn County Hospital,” explained Mr. Brush.  “Some insurance plans impose a higher co-pay, deductible and/or out of pocket if the patient is seen at a hospital based rehabilitation facility.  Since Aurora Physical Therapy is a separate entity from the hospital, in most cases these higher amounts would not apply. 

“By making services available through Aurora Physical Therapy, as well as through the hospital and the DCH Harrison Outpatient Diagnostic Center, we can accommodate individuals with almost all forms of insurance.  We also recommend that patients call their insurance provider and verify their coverage and any restrictions before selecting any physical therapy facility,” he noted.  “Also, as an added courtesy for every patient that contacts one of our facilities, upon request, our staff will check and verify the individual’s insurance benefits and their direct cost for services, as well as to help them to determine their financial responsibility for care received. Depending upon the individual’s insurance benefits, they can then choose which therapy location is most financially feasible for them to use.

“Now that Aurora Physical Therapy is open, we hope to be able to accommodate many individuals who previously were unable to utilize our services,” Mr. Brush concluded.
