Physical Therapy Patient
What to expect on your first physical therapy appointment:
The initial physical therapy appointment is focused on determining the cause of your symptoms and the most effective plan to help you find relief. This appointment is scheduled for 90 minutes to allow a thorough assessment and initiation of hands-on treatment if warranted and/or therapeutic exercises. You will need to wear comfortable clothing that you can move in. It is helpful to wear clothing that allows assessment of the area to be examined. Loose fitting clothes, shorts, sports bras, and tank tops are good choices. We request that you obtain a referral (prescription) for physical therapy from your provider prior to our appointment.
We will take time to discuss your physical therapy diagnosis and the best plan to resolve the issues for full recovery. Inspiration Physical Therapy & Fitness stresses the importance of both patient and clinician acting as a team to achieve healing. You are your greatest resource for recovery!
Follow up appointments are typically 30-60 minutes in length depending on your treatment needs. Follow up appointments like the initial evaluation are conducted in the convenience of your home. Your health and recovery are the sole focus!
