How long will each of my sessions be?

Although all patients are different, typically, the first session lasts for 1 hour 15 minutes. Each session after that may be 50-120 minutes.

The amount of time will be based on your specific needs, 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 can I expect from physical therapy treatments?

With physical therapy, it’s important to know that the overall goal is to restore pain-free mobility and function and to prevent the injury or pain from recurring.

Our physical therapists evaluate your movement patterns, identify the cause of your pain, and work to manage or eliminate it.

Physical therapists are trained medical experts when it comes to musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. They work closely with physicians to make sure that your treatment plan is as efficient and effective as possible.

Will I notice any discomfort during my treatments?

Good communication with our therapist will help minimize any discomfort. We will teach you how to be on your way to quick pain relief and back to normal activities.

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. 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.
