How long is the initial visit?

45-60 minutes.

What should I expect at the first visit?

The physical therapist will complete a comprehensive evaluation. This includes taking a patient history, discussing your goals, taking measurements, performing specific tests, and discussing your plan of care. The PT may start treatment for your condition and you may also be given home exercises to begin.

How does scheduling work?

We have found that it works best to schedule out your complete series of physical therapy visits at the end of your first session. At your first visit, your physical therapist will examine you, discuss a personalized plan of care with you, and recommend a specific treatment schedule. To ensure success, it is very important that you commit to the program and schedule that your physical therapist recommends. Scheduling your visits in advance also allows you to get the appointment days and times that you prefer. We have long hours to accommodate busy schedules; 8am – 7pm, Monday through Friday.
