What to expect - on your first visit please:
Wear loose clothing and athletic shoes
Bring your insurance card/information (if appropriate)

You will be evaluated by a physical therapist to obtain your history
of main complaint; an appropriate assessment will be performed and
may include strength tests, flexibility tests, range of motion,
walking and balance testing or special testing specifically related
to your issue. Your physical therapist will determine an appropriate
plan of care based on the findings of the evaluation and based on
your individual goals and will communicate the findings to you and
your physician. A course of treatment typically is 3 times a week
for 4 weeks or whatever your physician has recommended.
It is very important to complete your course of treatment to maximize
your treatment. |
