Our physical therapist assistant, works closely alongside our physical therapists to aide in treatment as well. We believe it is important to stay with the same provider during your course of care for best outcomes.

What happens during my first visit?

Upon your first visit, you’ll fill out registration paperwork and provide us with your insurance information. You’ll discuss your medical history, medications, past procedures/tests, current problems/complaints, pain intensity, what aggravates/eases the problem, how it is impacting your daily functional activities, and goals with therapy. Your PT will then complete a comprehensive evaluation of your physical functioning. After your first appointment, a treatment plan is then developed to include frequency of visits, home exercise program, patient education, and short-term/long-term goals.
