FAQ

 

Will I begin treatment on the first visit?
Yes. The phyiscal therapist will perform your initial evaluation to determine if physical therapy is appropriate and what limitations need to be addressed. Majority of patients have time during the initial visit to begin treatment after the evaluation is performed.

 

What should I wear to physical therapy visits?
It may vary based on what you are being treated for. In general, athletic clothing is recommended. The most important factor is making sure the physical therapist can access the area to be treated if necessary and you have freedom to move in the clothing.
