Royce Bowman has designed individual physical therapy plans for Houston-area patients for more than 25 years. Now, as the founder and owner of Bowman Physical Therapy, in partnership with OakBend Medical Center, he continues to bring cutting-edge technology, education, and personal care to healing.
While modern medicine has evolved, patients choose Bowman Physical Therapy for attentive and personalized services. Care starts with a scheduling phone call, where patients talk to a long-time care team member versus a scheduling call center and patients are scheduled within 48 hours of the initial call. The Friendswood and River Oaks outpatient facilities are easily accessible and have free parking. Upon arrival, patients may be happy to see there is not a designated waiting room like traditional facilities. Staff are expecting patients upon arrival to make them comfortable before exercising.
"We want you to feel welcome and cared for from the moment you choose us as your physical therapy partner," says Bowman.
As a practicing physical therapist, Bowman ensures all clients know their care teams by name. Therapists and technicians stay involved throughout each session, and time restrictions do not limit session visits.
Central to the philosophy of care is education. Bowman explains, "I fell in love with the concept of physical therapy because I enjoy teaching. I teach patients how to do certain exercises or perform certain functions. I teach parents about their child's injury or why they have a recurring problem. I'm teaching, guiding, and helping people regain their quality of life." The more someone understands the reasons behind their exercises and treatment, the more successful therapy will be.
A third facility is on the horizon. "We listened to our patients' requests to have a location in the Heights." With this additional space, Bowman Physical Therapy can serve a larger audience with the highest-quality physical therapy in Houston.
Treatment at the facilities combines modalities with scientifically proven treatment strategies. "It's important for our staff of physical therapists and technicians to stay at the forefront of physical therapy by continually updating our knowledge and skills with the latest evidence-based practices. From advanced techniques to trending treatment innovations, we're committed to providing our patients with the most effective, modern care."
The facilities feature state-of-the-art equipment, open gym space, and private treatment rooms. For equipment, each location features a GenuEase machine. This revolutionary device rehabilitates knees by letting the patient control their movement. By controlling their movement, patients have a decreased level of apprehension and a quicker road to recovery. Bowman Physical Therapy is one of Houston's few clinics offering this technology. From manual therapy and blood flow restriction therapy to dry needling and biofeedback, the practice provides services to help with ankle, back and neck, hip, knee, and shoulder pain, sports injuries, and gait and balance disorder.
The team works with pediatric to geriatric patients. Its mission is to restore Houston residents to a fuller quality of life. The team's reputation in Houston is strong. Hundreds of 5-star reviews online support Bowman Physical Therapy's patient experience and family-oriented culture. Patients love the upbeat, supportive, and positive environment. One five-star review complimented the team by calling out "Excellent service. All staff members are friendly and caring. They do not go by the clock to help you."
More than 25 years later, excellence in patient care drives Royce Bowman. "We are changing the narrative of medical care. You are not a number at our facilities. We want to go the extra mile in your rehabilitation journey." bowmanphysicaltherapy.com
