What to expect?
Consultation
Prior to beginning physical therapy, it is essential that we have an in-depth consultation during which we discuss your injury or condition, your expectations of results, lifestyle, daily habits, and more. The process of physical therapy grows the mind-body connection, and this consultation allows us to more fully understand how to meet you where you are. During our consultation, we will also discuss the methods we use to encourage and promote healing, and which may be of best use to you. We will create a customized treatment plan that addresses your unique concerns.
Physical Therapy Appointment
We will always discuss our therapy strategy for the session with you. For each treatment session, you and our highly-trained Physical Therapist will meet for your PT. Sessions may include muscle manipulation, cupping, ultrasound, TENS unit, and more.
