PATIENT RESOURCES

What can I expect on my first visit?​

​

To initiate our physical therapy evaluations, we first gather a detailed history of your injury and how it impacts your daily life, work, and leisure pursuits. Next, our therapist conducts a comprehensive physical examination to evaluate your conditioning level, nerve and muscle function, as well as joint function. We also assess your posture, strength, flexibility, and endurance.

​

Our customized treatment plans concentrate on your objectives and functional activities. Depending on your requirements, our treatment may include mobilization of joints, muscles, and connective tissue. Other modalities such as heat, ice, ultrasound, muscle stimulation, dry needling, and traction may also be used.

​

In most cases, we also provide an exercise regimen tailored to meet your individual needs. Our treatment concludes with guidance on self-management strategies to prevent future injury and help you return to your desired level of activity.

 

What should I bring to my first physical therapy visit?​

​

• Bring comfortable clothing that will allow the physical therapist exposure to your injury site (ex. exercise shorts and t-shirt) and Insurance Card.

• Prescription from your physician if applicable

• Completed health history form.

Do I need a prescription from a doctor?​

Georgia is a direct access state, so most insurance companies do not require a prescription. We will call your insurance company on your behalf to check requirements.
