Frequently Asked Questions

  • If we are asking you to do something that is hurting too much, let us know! Physical therapy should not be severely painful. It is not common to be so sore that patients are in pain or it affects their daily life. If this ever happens during or after an appointment, let us know and we will adapt your program.

  • We recommend budgeting 40-60 minutes for a typical therapy session. The only exception to this will be your first visit, which can take about 20 minutes longer due to the physical therapy evaluation your therapist will provide. We also recommend showing up about 10-15 minutes early to your first visit. This way, you can complete the paperwork before your visit time and streamline the process.

  • A physical therapy visit lasts about 45-60 minutes. The actual contents of the visit vary based on your diagnosis/need, but typically what happens is:

    • You check in with the receptionist, make any appointments necessary, and we discuss your health insurance benefits with you.
    • You go into the gym. You can change clothes if you need to, then begin therapy.
    • You perform several exercises and stretches. These can include therapeutic band exercises, body weight exercises, or weighted exercises.
    • The stretches and body weight or weighted exercises will promote strength, stability, improved range of motion, and pain relief.
    • We can initiate other techniques to include manual (hands-on) work, taping, dry needling, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization, or blood flow restriction therapy, as needed.
    • The therapist makes recommendations based on your progress. These can include altering the frequency of visits, making additions/alterations to your home exercise plan, or things to do before your next visit.
  • You should wear loose clothes that make it easy to move. We also recommend sneakers. Workout clothes will work, but any comfortable clothing will work fine. Plan on giving your therapist access to your area of concern. The less your clothes restrict your movement and the more comfortable you are, the better. Shorts, yoga pants, or athletic/loose fitting pants and a tee shirt are all good options.
