| Evaluation |
Successful treatment begins with
an evaluation that allows our therapists to design a
treatment program that fits the goals, needs and physical
capabilities of each individual patient.
At Your First Visit:
- Your physical therapist will
first talk with you, to learn about the problem
that has brought you in for treatment.
- He or she will then perform
a comprehensive evaluation of your musculoskeletal
system, including posture, body mechanics, joint
mobility, range of motion, soft tissue mobility,
strength, flexibility and functional testing.
- Depending on the evaluation
findings and your goals, your therapist will next
explain the recommended treatment plan, what it
will entail and why it is being recommended.
- If appropriate, you will receive
some treatment and a home program for pain relief.
- Finally, before leaving the
clinic the appropriate follow-up appointments will
be scheduled.
