FAQs

What should I expect on my first visit?

Prior to your first visit, you’ll be given new patient paperwork to fill out. When you arrive for your first appointment, we will gather a history of past injuries, including those that could have contributed to your current condition. We will asses your pain, test your of range of motion, strength and perform the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA); which allows us to diagnose your movement dysfunctions. We use this baseline to help compare and track your progress. The first day is geared toward setting short and long term goals to be accomplished, during your time with us.

How long should I plan for each visit?

Each visitation is scheduled for 1 hour; several different modalities, stretches, and exercises are performed during that time, depending on the injury being treated.

Does physical therapy really help?

Yes. Physical therapy helps you return to performing daily tasks with ease, utilizing the body’s natural movements to restore functionality. This process includes many different stretches, exercises, and use of modalities (Ultrasound, Graston, E-Stim). Our highest priorities are reduction of pain, restoration of range of motion, and return to previous strength. To ensure that your progress stays on track, the therapist also prescribes home exercises. Physical therapy is highly recommended before resorting to surgical options for a healthier and faster rate of recovery.

What is the difference between a physical therapist and a chiropractor?

Physical therapy restores functional movement through stretching, strengthening, manual techniques, and modalities. Our efforts are more geared toward correcting dysfunction and providing the tools necessary to prevent further recurrence of injury. Chiropractic uses mainly manipulation as their primary form of treatment.

For example, compare your body to a tent. The spine would represent the pole, and the muscles the tie downs. The pole is affected by the tension placed on it, by the tie downs. This is the same throughout your body, as muscles and tendon injuries affect the bones and cause dysfunctional movements. A Chiropractor focuses mainly on the alignment of the bones, through manipulation. In other words, keeping that pole in alignment. The Physical Therapist, can also mobilize, but focuses on the reasons for the dysfunction, rather than just treating the problem. Reasons for dysfunctions can include mobility (Tissue related problems), or stability & motor control (Support and coordination of movements).

Do I need physical therapy post-surgery?

After surgery, there is noticeable inflammation and swelling, as well as decreased range of motion and strength, all of which contribute to reduced functionality. Simply resting after surgery is not enough to fully recover. Physical therapy targets residual pain, weakness, and stiffness to return you to pre-surgery activity levels.

What are the recommended number of visits for physical therapy?
