What to Expect at Your First Visit

Your first visit is an opportunity for your therapist to learn more about you, your symptoms, your medical history, and your recovery goals. We will evaluate your movement, strength, balance, flexibility, posture, coordination, pain, walking mechanics, swelling concerns, and overall function to better understand what may be contributing to your limitations.

From there, your therapist will begin building a treatment plan that fits your needs. Depending on your condition, your care may include therapeutic exercise, hands-on treatment, manual therapy, spinal mobilization or manipulation, cupping, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization, balance and gait training, vestibular rehabilitation, lymphedema management, hand therapy, golf-specific movement assessment, running analysis, functional strengthening, pain management strategies, post-surgical rehabilitation, or activities designed to help you return to daily life, work, sports, and hobbies.

You should leave your first appointment with a clearer understanding of your condition, your therapy plan, and the next steps in your recovery.
