FAQ
Do I need physical therapy?
If you are having difficulty moving around due to pain, loss of range of motion or decreased strength, you could benefit from working with a physical therapist.
How often should I go to physical therapy?
A typical physician prescription or referral to physical therapy is for a frequency of 2 to 3 times per week. While each individual frequency will vary due to diagnosis and extent of injury or disorder, you can usually count on being asked to attend therapy at this consistency.
How long should physical therapy last?
In general, you should attend physical therapy until you reach your PT goals or until your therapist—and you—decide that your condition is severe enough that your goals need to be re-evaluated. Typically, it takes about 6 to 8 weeks for soft tissue to heal, so your course of PT may last about that long.
What should I wear to therapy?
Loose fitting clothing—shorts for a lower extremity or back injury, short sleeves for upper extremity injuries. Please wear or bring appropriate shoes, i.e. sneakers.
How long does each session last?
Your appointments may last between 30 minutes and one hour. This time depends on your diagnosis and state of progress.
