- How long does each session last?
Generally, your initial visit will last approximately 1 hour since the therapist will need to evaluate your condition, provide treatment, and give home instructions. Following visits may last from 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on your condition and level of activity.
- How often will I come?
Most prescriptions and treatment schedules are for 2 visits per week, but this will vary based on your condition and your needs. After your initial assessment, your therapist will create an individualized treatment plan and will collaborate with you in setting the frequency and duration of your treatment plan.
- Do I always see the same therapist?
You will always see the same physical therapist that you start with, except for special circumstances such as scheduling conflicts or special diagnoses.
- What do I need to wear for my initial appointment?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and a pair of rubber-soled sneakers – something you can move in. Every treatment course begins with a comprehensive evaluation.
- What if I am not able to make my scheduled appointment?
24-hour notice is required for cancellations. Please cancel your appointment by calling the office at (540) 316-2680. To ensure the best outcomes and reduce the scheduling wait times, we strictly enforce our cancellation and no-call no-show policy. Frequent cancellations or no-call no-shows may result in removal from the schedule.
