Physical Therapy combines hands on treatment, therapeutic exercise, modalities and education to improve a person’s quality of life through examination, diagnosis, prognosis and physical intervention. The overall goal of Physical Therapy is to restore mobility and function to prevent injury from recurring.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
Your first visit is mainly comprised of a thorough evaluation by a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Part of this process requires a detailed health history therefore we ask that you arrive 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment to allow time to complete the intake paper work.<\/p>\n
After the evaluation has been completed, your therapist will review these findings with you and develop a plan of care and treatment goals specific to your condition.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
We recommend that you wear clothing that is both comfortable and allows for easy movement.<\/p>\n
The area of the body that is to be examined and treated should be easily accessible. Exercise attire such as shorts, sweats, leggings, t-shirts or tank tops are the most ideal clothing options.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
The length of each Physical Therapy session can be quite variable. The initial evaluation typically lasts between an hour to an hour and 15 minutes while treatment sessions are generally 30 to 60 min in duration. The total time will likely depend on the volume of exercise performed and whether modalities are indicated for your condition.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
The amount of time spent in Physical Therapy depends on the type and severity of injury being treated. Commonly, treatments are scheduled for 1-2 days per week for 6-8 weeks. However, the frequency and duration of your treatments is completely dependent upon your specific condition as well as the recommendations of your referring physician and therapist.<\/p>\n
