What can physical therapy do for you?

Physical therapy can help improve your ability to move with less pain, improve your function, and decrease the need for pain medications. Therapy may also be prescribed before a surgical procedure to prepare you for surgery and improve your outcomes after orthopedic surgery.

What to expect on your first visit:

Please arrive 20 to 30 minutes early for your first visit to be educated on your insurance coverage, schedule future therapy appointments, and fill out any paperwork needed. This will provide our physical therapists with important information regarding your injury or problem.
Please bring your ID, insurance cards, and a list of medications, along with any required physical therapy referral or prescription if we do not already have it. If you are unsure what is needed, please contact our team before your appointment.
You will go through a comprehensive evaluation by your physical therapist. After your evaluation you may be treated with exercises, manual therapy, or modalities as needed. Each visit will last approximately one hour.
