After your physical therapy evaluation, your therapist will develop a treatment program that will often address physical deficits, such as: strength, posture, flexibility, neurological status, joint motion, and functional limitation with activities of daily living. Physical therapy treatment may include the use of manual therapy techniques and exercises. Therapeutic modalities may be used to decrease swelling, decrease pain and/or soothe injured muscles. You will also receive instruction in a home exercise program. The home exercise program may include: education on proper body mechanics, posture to prevent re-injury, exercise instruction, cold/heat therapies and general self-care. Your therapist will plan, implement, and monitor your progress throughout the treatment program.
The initial evaluation will typically last approximately 60-minutes. Subsequent appointments are scheduled for approximately 30-60 minutes. Please arrive 5 minutes before each appointment. If you are unable to keep an appointment, we ask that you give us at least 24 hours notice of cancellation.
