What happens at a physical therapy session?
A physical therapy visit lasts about 40-60 minutes. The actual contents of the visit vary based on your diagnosis/need, but typically what happens is:
- You check in with the receptionist, make any appointments necessary, and we discuss your health insurance benefits with you.
- You will be taken back to a room. You can change into other clothing if necessary.
- The therapist will guide you in the treatment session as they deem appropriate after having a conversation about your current situation.
- We can initiate other techniques to include manual work, taping, cupping, and dry needling as needed.
- The therapist makes recommendations based on your progress. These can include altering the frequency of visits, making additions/alterations to your home exercise plan, or things to do before your next visit.
