How she reviews a page

Before a page goes live, Deepa reads it as a clinician and checks that:

✓The information is accurate and matches current physical therapy practice.
✓It clearly lists the warning signs that mean you should see a doctor first.
✓It is honest about what physical therapy can and can’t do, without promising results.
✓It only describes care we actually provide at ARI.
✓It is written in plain language a patient can use.

Each reviewed page shows “Clinically reviewed by Deepa Konnur” with the month it was reviewed. Read more about how we create our health content.
