Fitness After Therapy
We can continue to make progress after traditional physical therapy is finished by continuing to push your strength and endurance as well as prevent your initial issue from returning.
Before your first visit we will discuss your lifestyle, home life, health and initial injury as well as what you would like to achieve with therapy. We will come up with a time and place to meet and you will receive paperwork to complete before your first visit.
Your first visit will include:
Paperwork
A quick review of the paperwork so we can address anything not discussed during our phone conversation.
Vitals Check
A quick check of your blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation at home to get a baseline. A check in your own environment without the stress of being in a doctors office will be more accurate.
Strength and Mobility Assessment
A thorough strength and mobility assessment is needed as I believe in a whole body approach, I will make sure to take the time that we have together to thoroughly examine all of the factors involved in your condition.
Special Tests
We will complete special tests associated with your symptoms to make sure that our treatment plan is the best fit for you.
In the last 15 minutes of your initial visit we will discuss and come up with exercises for home as well as a treatment plan involving frequency of telephone versus in person visits.
In Further Visits:
Depending on your needs we will complete further testing including:
Video analysis:
Video analysis is a great way to pinpoint a movement issue potentially causing your pain and later to see a marked difference when comparing pre and post videos side-by-side.
