What to Expect on the First Visit

 

During your first visit, your Physical or Occupational Therapist will conduct a comprehensive assessment that includes strength and flexibility tests as well as observation of functional moments preformed on regular basis. Based on the assessments your physical therapist will develop a specialized plan of treatment specifically tailored to your needs.

 

Although a majority of the initial visit is occupied by this assessment, your therapist will provide you with a plan of action to improve your physical limitations.This initial visit is crucial to the success of your physical therapy treatment. It is important that you convey accurate information about your injury, prior medical history, and any concerns you may be having.
