Therapy Center FAQ

  • What is physical therapy?

    • Physical therapy is a method of treatment for certain physical impairments, disabilities, and injuries. You can expect a thorough evaluation by a physical therapist who will create a plan of treatment for your specific diagnosis.

  • What are physical therapists?

    • Physical therapists (PTs) are highly-educated, licensed health care professionals who may help patients reduce pain, and improve or re-store mobility, in many cases without expensive surgery which often reduces the need for use of prescription medications.  In addition, PTs work with individuals to develop fitness and wellness programs for healthier and more active lifestyles.

  • How often do I need to attend physical therapy?

    • Frequency of attendance is dependent upon your diagnosis and your physician’s recommendation.  A typical plan of care for physical therapy includes attendance three times per week.

  • How long will my physical therapy appointment be?

    • Appointments for physical therapy vary in length depending on your diagnosis and activity level.  On average, a patient’s first visit lasts about an hour.  For the initial visit, we typically ask patients to arrive 15 minutes early to sign-in, complete paperwork and/or change clothes.

  • What should I bring to my first appointment?

    • On your first visit, you’ll need to bring your physician referral or prescription (if needed), your insurance card, your primary registration forms, your ID or driver’s license and your co-payment (as applicable). If desired, you may bring a change of clothing.
