Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect from physical Therapy?
We will begin discussing your symptoms, your medical history and any concerns you may have. Then a thorough physical assessment will be performed to figure out where symptoms are coming from, so we can best decide where to begin treatment. The physical assessment will include looking at range of motion, movement assessment and mobility, diagnostic testing, and strength testing. If applicable, we will perform a pelvic floor muscle assessment. From there, treatment may consist of specific hands on treatments, neuromuscular re-education, therapeutic exercises and a home program.
How long will my treatment last?
This answer will depend on the individual, and can range widely. Treatment course will depend on patient’s symptoms, their goals, chronicity of the condition, and financial situation. The plan of care will be discussed in the first visit, and will be an on-going discussion throughout your care. Each visit is 50 minutes, and typical frequency of visits is 1 time per week. My goal as a provider is to get you feeling better in as few visits as possible, and give you tools to manage your symptoms without relying on my care.
