FAQs

Those who benefit most from Physical Therapy are individuals who are in need of reducing pain, restoring injured body parts, increasing flexibility, or building strength. We also help improve posture, which if left uncorrected can cause damaging musculoskeletal conditions. Additionally, we help patients who have undergone surgeries and who are in need of therapy to regain optimal physical functionality.

Please bring any records, like your prescription for therapy, from your previous doctor, a list of your medications, allergies. We also recommend bringing in a list of any questions or concerns you may have. Please make sure that you arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment so that you can provide us the necessary paperwork and insurance information . To save time, you can also print the Intake Forms located on our forms page, and bring them completed to your appointment.

We highly recommend you bring comfortable, nonrestrictive clothing or athletic wear to our physical rehab clinic because oftentimes we will be stretching or exercising you. Your clothes should also allow us to evaluate your area of injury, so please dress accordingly. As for footwear, we suggest comfortable, closed-toe shoes, preferably sneakers. If you have any questions, please contact us prior to your first appointment.

The initial visit takes a little longer than the subsequent visits due to the paperwork that you need to fill out, in addition to the completion of the assessment process. Normally, appointments are usually between 45 and 60 minutes.

You will need to attend physical therapy sessions until you and your therapist decide that you have reached your desired level of function or that further therapy would not be beneficial. Often therapy will also be monitored by your physician.

After your initial evaluation we will send a copy of the examination to your doctor along with progress notes at regular intervals.

We recommend that you call the benefit number for your insurance company listed on your insurance card to check on your insurance benefits before you start therapy. All insurance plans vary greatly in benefits, and the customer service team from your insuranc company should be able to answer any and all questions you have about your insurance coverages.

Medicare requires that you have a doctor's referral. Other insurance companies may or may not require it.
