Today we’d like to introduce you to Daryl Murdock.
Hi Daryl, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I have been providing contract physical therapy since 2008 and moved to San Diego in 2011. Prior to becoming a contractor, I directed an outpatient clinic which provided physical therapy and occupational therapy. I added speech therapy services in 2021. All my therapists are high quality experienced specialists who provide in-home services tailored to each client’s needs and goals. We serve clients of all ages and diagnoses.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
We had consistent referrals until the pandemic changed the the contract landscape for physical and speech therapy. During that time, I added pediatric contracts and also trained my clinicians in LSVT BIG and LOUD to better help our adult neurological clients including those with Parkinson’s Disease.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about Preferred Physical Rehab?
We provide private pay in-home services within San Diego County. We have provided services at locations besides the client’s home such as at the beach, at community pools, and at parks when these off-site locations better meet the needs and goals of our clients.
We have been certified in LSVT BIG and LSVT LOUD to better serve our clients with Parkinson’s Disease and related disorders. We have advanced training in fall prevention caused by vestibular disorders, impaired balance, and weakness. Most of our adult clients are recovering from stroke, surgery, consequences of falling, or weakness caused by a variety of medical conditions.
When we first meet our clients we start with a comprehensive evaluation and make goals with them. These goals can look like minimizing pain, preventing injuries, or learning to walk. We work with our clients until those needs and goals are met. With our experienced clinicians, we achieve exceptional results succeeding even after the client has been seen by many other rehab therapists.
Are there any apps, books, podcasts, blogs or other resources you think our readers should check out?
The Bible, The Book of Mormon, Stephen Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and Stephen Covey’s Beyond the 7 Habits have helped me throughout the years to do my best at work and in my personal life. These books have inspired me to be compassionate, goal-oriented, kind, and productive. This has helped me become a better husband, father, physical therapist, and friend.
