What is PT?

Physical therapy is an individualized ‘hands on’ treatment plan based on your specific injury or condition. The plan of care promotes movement, pain reduction and function. It may include manual therapy techniques, stretching and/or exercises to restore function, and other modalities such as ice and heat, electrotherapy, and ultrasound when appropriate.

Q: How should I dress for my appointment?
A: When you attend your therapy appointments, you will want to wear clothing that is easy to
move around in and allows for examination such as shorts, t-shirts, and tennis shoes.

Q: Will it hurt?
A: Your therapist will listen to you very closely and make every effort to keep discomfort to a minimum. However, you may experience some soreness as you progress through your treatment plan. Remember it is your responsibility to let your therapist know how you are feeling.

Q: What are the benefits?
A: Besides helping you feel better and resolving your injury/condition, you will learn valuable information about how you can prevent re-injury or future injury as you work with your therapist to reach the goals set for therapy.

Q: When should I start therapy?
A: Your physician can order physical therapy at any time for a wide variety of injuries or conditions. If you feel you could benefit from understanding your specific injury/condition more thoroughly and are motivated to feel better and stronger, talk with your physician or call a physical therapy company near you.
