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.
