Question 1

How does physical therapy work?

Accepted Answer

Physical therapy helps people develop, maintain, and restore maximum movement and functional ability throughout their lives. It addresses issues caused by aging, injury, or disease, focusing on full and functional movement as a key to health. Physical therapy involves promoting, preventing, treating, and rehabilitating movement potential. It includes interactions between patients, their environment, families, and caregivers to assess movement potential and set goals. Physical therapists use their unique knowledge and skills to diagnose and create intervention strategies, whether for health promotion, prevention, treatment, or rehabilitation.

Question 2

What should I expect during my physical therapy sessions?

Accepted Answer

During your initial evaluation, we'll sit down and discuss your condition. We'll take measurements of the affected area and surrounding regions to assess motion, strength, and tissue mobility. At the end of the visit, we'll discuss our findings with you, explain what they mean, and outline our plan to address your specific condition. Feel free to ask any questions you have during this time.

Question 3

Will my insurance cover physical therapy?

Accepted Answer

We work with most insurance companies. Before your first visit, we can confirm your physical therapy benefits upon request.

Question 4

Will physical therapy be painful?

Accepted Answer

We aim to alleviate pain, not cause it! While you might feel a pinch or deep pressure at times, we ensure that you shouldn't experience pain. Physical therapy can indeed help without causing pain, and we've found greater success with treatments that respect your body's alignment, tissue integrity, and individual pain perception.

Question 5

What kind of clothing should I wear to my physical therapy sessions?

Accepted Answer

Wear comfortable clothing to your sessions. We'll take all necessary precautions to ensure your modesty, especially when evaluating delicate areas during assessments and treatments.
