The Evaluation
Your initial evaluation will involve a 45 minute appointment with one of our physical therapists to discuss your current injury, your past medical history, and your goals for physical therapy. Time is spent assessing functional movements, range of motion, strength, and a full systems review. Our goal is for you to feel clarity after your assessment in terms of what your rehabilitation will look like and how we will achieve your goals.
The Process
Each physical therapy appointment 1-on-1 and is individualized to achieve your goals. Based on your goals and areas of impairments found in your initial evaluation, we will work together to develop a rehab plan that is specific to your goals. Typically, this involves a blend of hands-on manual therapy and progressive exercise.
The Result
Your goals are our goals. Through a progressive physical therapy plan of care, we will create a comprehensive exercise program for you in order to maintain your new level of function. Whether it is returning to day to day activities, work duties, recreational activities, or sport, your rehabilitation will focus around getting you back to what you love to do and promoting overall health and wellness.
