Today we’d like to introduce you to Terrika Kelly.
Hi Terrika, so excited to have you on the platform. So, before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I graduated with my doctorate of physical therapy in 2017. Since this time, I have worked in outpatient clinics and home health physical therapy settings. Over this time, I have found that a lot of patients don’t feel as if they get the best care and sometimes resign to not being able to reach their goals. From this, I wanted to build a company that was different from the rest. I want to make sure that each patient gets one on one care where they know they are the main focus and we take a whole-body approach. One of the main ways we are able to do this is by being a cash-based business. Although we are out of network with all insurances, we are able to provide a superbill so that patients can be reimbursed by their insurance companies based on their coverage.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
The main obstacle that I have run into so far is knowing people in the area. I recently moved back into the area, but this has given me a chance to be more active in the community. I have had the chance to set up workshops or meet and greets at different gyms to get to spread the word about Total Care Therapy and Wellness.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
Total Care Therapy and Wellness is a mobile physical therapy company that serves Charleston and the surrounding areas. I choose to open my own business because of my passion for getting patients back to the activities they love without pain or restrictions. We do this by providing services such as dry needling, cupping, manual therapy, preventative care, and strength/flexibility training. Total Care is a business that truly has the patient and their goals in mind. We work together with each patient to make a plan of care that is individualized and is unique to every person.
What makes you happy?
In addition to spending time with my friends and family, I love being able to help out others. I love seeing the joy and excitement on others’ faces after they are able to achieve their goals and get back to the activities most important to them.
