ABOUT US
Who we are
Whether you’re a sole practitioner or have a practice with multiple health care professionals, you have to be competitive to keep the doors open and the lights on. You got into the field to help people, but the reality of our economy it that you have to make money at what you’re doing—or you have to stop doing it.
Hands-on Diagnostic, or HODS, was started by professionals in the field of physical therapy and health care. HODS personnel know the area. They know what physical therapists run into, both as practitioners and as businessmen. And HODS is here to help you keep those lights on, to help you help your patients, and to help you increase your viability as you go.
“ADVANCING PHYSICAL THERAPIST AS THE PROVIDER OF CHOICE”
OUR
PURPOSE
WHAT WE
STAND FOR
Hands-on Diagnostics has a fourfold purpose:
- To advance the field of physical therapy by helping the physical therapist become an autonomous diagnostic source with our diagnostic tools
- To help our HODS partners establish themselves as diagnosticians, so they can provide diagnostic services for both their own patients and for other health care practitioners
- To expand these same services to MDs and DOs who prefer to deliver such services in-house
- To support and conduct research into electrophysiological and vestibular testing, and ultrasound imaging, along with other diagnostic technologies, and to make these technologies known and used.
