What
do I wear for a physical therapy treatment?
Wear comfortable clothes to move around in while being
evaluated or treated. If you are being treated for a below
the waist injury, we prefer shorts or pants that can be
moved up to the mid thigh region. If you are being treated
for a shoulder or neck injury, we prefer a tank top or
a sports bra. Runners should bring their running shoes.

How
much time do I spend with the physical therapist?
On the initial evaluation you will be with the therapist
for an hour, and then be instructed in a home program or a
modality treatment with a physical therapy aide for 30 minutes. On following
treatments you will be with the therapist for 30 minutes,
then with an aide for an additional 30 minutes for an exercise
program designed by your physical therapist. |
|
|
|
|
|
Do
I always see the same therapist?
We have five full time therapists and a two part-time therapists.
We prefer you to keep consistent with the initial physical
therapist, but due to schedule restraints of our patients,
occasionally you may be scheduled with another therapist. |
