On the first visit, an initial evaluation is performed to determine if physical therapy is the best treatment option. If therapy is not appropriate, other recommendations can be made.

A patient history form and outcomes questionnaire will need to be filled out prior to receiving therapy and rehabilitation treatments. These forms can be emailed or be filled out in the office prior to the visit.

For a new evaluation, patients need to arrive 15-20 minutes early in order to complete paperwork.

What should I bring

• Comfortable clothes that allow for the area of the body being treated to move freely.
• A physician's referral, if applicable.
• X-ray or MRI reports.
• A list of medications.

What will I likely experience?

During a typical visit, manual therapy will be used to improve joint function. Patients are also instructed on an exercise program to help healing at home.

How long will the appointment last?

We strive to complete most patient appointments within 60 minutes, though the time may vary based on treatments provided and patient needs.

Follow-up appointments are usually scheduled before patients leave the clinic. Patients typically follow-up in the clinic one to two times a week, depending on circumstances. A patient may also be instructed on home exercises. Follow-up for these exercises often occurs after two weeks to monitor patient response to the exercises. We average 5-6 visits per condition.​
