About the Author
Theresa Meyer PT
Theresa Meyer, BS, PT received her physical therapy degree from Thomas Jefferson College of Allied Health in 1986. She also received a BA degree in health and physical education from Messiah College in 1984.
Theresa started her career as a traveling physical therapist for Pro Therapy of America. This experience allowed her to gain valuable insight into a wide variety of health care settings, including home health, long-term care, outpatient facilities, as well as acute and rehabilitation hospitals. This also provided exposure to many health care systems throughout the United States.
She attended the world Physical Therapy Conference in Sydney, Australia in 1986 to further her education of physical therapy and research internationally. At this time, she wrote the most widely used physical therapy review books for the board licensure examination. This project was borne out of a desire to assist with the stress and time constraints that physical therapy students undergo in preparation for the national board licensure examination.
In 1988, Pro Therapy promoted her to director of rehabilitation at Three Rivers Area Hospitatl in Michigan. She developed cardiac rehabilitation, sports medicine, and fitness programs for the hospital while managing both inpatient and outpatient programs. She also served as their regional director for Southwest Michigan. She intertwined her responsibilities at the hospital with a consultant position to additional hospitals and outpatient facilities in the areas of new program development, clinic management, personnel hiring, staff education, and preparation for JCAHO and Medicare reviews.
Her next career step was co-founding Physical Therapy and Sports Medicine Cneters, a private practice that grew from one clinic in 1990 to 10 clinics. The private practices provided Michigan communities with state-of-the-art facilities and highly trained staff.
She also worked as an educator for Pro Exam Source, teaching review workshops for the licensing examination to physical therapists and physical therapist assistants.
She sold her private practices to a national corporation in 1997 and retired. In 1998, she was a co-founder in Outpatient Certification Consultants. She and her partner wrote a new manual for Medicare certification, Outpatient Policy and Procedure Manual, to assist clinics in preparing for Medicare certification and meeting health care guidelines. Currently, she resides in Michigan and is working as a consultant and author.
