Does PeerWell replace Physical Therapy?

No, PeerWell is meant to be done in conjunction with any prescribed physical therapy (unless the provider determines that the injured worker is progressing on schedule without formal PT). Typically, PeerWell injured workers end up needing significantly less outpatient physical therapy as a result of being able to continue recovery exercises at home, in between traditional visits (or if in-person sessions are unavailable). Studies have shown that PeerWell injured workers average just 2.04 outpatient PT visits vs. 7.4 PT visits for non-PeerWell injured workers.
