What should I wear to my PT appointment?
During treatments, consider wearing loose-fitting, comfortable attire suitable for gentle exercises, paired with supportive sneakers for optimal comfort and support.
How long are PT appointments?
Your session length will be tailored to your requirements, and our therapist will communicate this with you. Initially, you may have two to three sessions per week, with a transition to more spaced-out sessions as you progress through your treatment.
Can I still receive treatment if I don’t have insurance?
What should I know about physical therapy treatment?
Physical therapists are highly knowledgeable medical professionals who specialize in musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. They collaborate closely with physicians to ensure that your treatment plan is both efficient and effective. Although each patient’s condition and pain may differ, our physical therapist will employ a range of techniques, exercises, equipment, and educational resources to promptly alleviate pain and restore your function to optimal levels.
Is physical therapy uncomfortable?
Please note that physical therapy is not intended to cause pain, but rather to alleviate it. While restoring your mobility, you may experience fluctuations in pain levels. Temporary soreness in previously weakened or recovering muscles is also possible. It’s important to understand that such responses are normal during physical therapy and should not be a cause for worry.
