How Long Should I Plan On My Physical Therapy Appointment Lasting?

​

Although all patients are different, sessions last anywhere between 30-60 minutes.

​

The amount of time will be based on your specific needs, diagnosis, insurance coverage, and our therapist will discuss this with you. You will most likely see your therapist once or twice per week, to begin with, and as you progress through treatment, your sessions will be more spread out.

​

What Will My Treatment Look Like?

​

With physical therapy, it is important to know that the overall goal is to restore pain-free mobility and function and to prevent an injury or pain from recurring. Our physical therapists evaluate your movement patterns, identify the cause of your pain, and work to eliminate it.

​

Physical therapy is a medical, hands-on approach to relieving pain and restoring function. While every patient’s condition and pain are unique, our physical therapist will use a variety of gentle hands-on techniques, exercises, and equipment to relieve pain quickly and restore your function to optimum levels.

​

Does Physical Therapy Hurt?

​

Physical therapy is not meant to hurt, but to relieve pain! There is a chance, however, as you restore your mobility that your pain levels will fluctuate. Good communication with our therapist will help minimize any discomfort. Like you, we also want you on your way to full pain relief and back to normal activities as soon as possible.

​

You might experience some temporary soreness from using muscles that are weakened or recovering. Rest assured that this is a normal response to physical therapy treatment and not a cause for concern.

​

When Will I Notice Pain Relief?

​

Each patient’s diagnosis is different, so together with your referring physician, our therapist will develop a plan of care that is right for you.

​

Your plan of care and number of visits will be determined during your first visit and explained to you by our physical therapist.

If I Want To Continue With Physical Therapy Sessions After My Pain Is Gone, Can I Do So?

​​

Yes, once you have completed your therapy sessions, your therapist will provide you with an at-home continuing therapy program. We can work with you on determining if equipment may be beneficial, and what exercises would be helpful in your continued recovery.
