What is Physical Therapy?

​

Physical Therapy is the assessment & evaluation of pain and dysfunction and how the body, anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics relate to that dysfunction. Physical Therapists develop plans that include different modalities and targeted exercises to reduce pain and correct dysfunction. The result is stronger, pain free movement which helps you get back to better than you were before Physical Therapy. ​

​

Who benefits from Physical Therapy?

​

Everyone! Sincerely. An appointment with a Physical Therapist is an opportunity to assess the body and come up with a plan, guided by a doctor of Physical Therapy, for how you can better function within your body. 

​

Is your clinic just for athletes?

​

Nope! We treat everyone and offer many different services with one goal: individualized treatment for all of our patients. We certainly do treat athletes, but also nearly every other acute or chronic condition that affects the body including but not limited to vestibular and pelvic floor Physical Therapy. Please feel free to visit our Team page and take a look at who specializes in what. 

​

What should I expect during my visit?

 

• Parking: Good news, we are located in a building that has ample parking just outside the door! It is indeed pay parking, so you can either pay by using the Park Mobile app or at one of the kiosks. 

• Initial Evaluation: You will meet with your Physical Therapist and get to know one another via the Initial Evaluation process. During this meeting the PT will ask question about you, the condition(s) you are looking to address, and take some notes. Your PT will also take measurements, depending on your specific concern. These measurements often include physical movements and manual manipulation of your areas of concern. This visit usually takes between 60-75 minutes. If this is of interest to you, please call to schedule an Initial Evaluation. We will ask you a few questions and get you on the schedule.

• Follow-up visits: After the initial evaluation visit, you and your PT will discuss the treatment plan based on the results of your initial evaluation. You can then schedule your follow-up visits in person or call to schedule.

How long do I need to be in Physical Therapy?

 

Great question! There is not a cut and dry answer for this question, as the treatment duration is entirely individualized. As a general guide: 

• You will see progress and have relief in 1-2 weeks.

• Acute conditions - will see measurable progress within one month. 

• Chronic conditions - will see measurable progress within 10-12 weeks. 

 

The reality is that it depends.  Change takes time and continuous work.  You will work with your PT to set ideal and realistic timelines.

What should I bring to my first visit?

​

• A form of ID

• Your insurance card

• Any orders from your referring physician

• Any reports or images you may have, if available 

​​

What should I wear to my Physical Therapy visit?

​

Great question! Please wear comfortable clothing that provides access to the area you are having treated, both visually and physically. It is very likely that you will be doing movements or exercises during your visit, please wear something that will allow for that type of activity.
