Physical therapy

Bring the questions that matter to you to your next appointment.

• What do we hope physical therapy will do for my pain, and how soon should I notice a change?
• Can I see a physical therapist directly, or does my insurance plan need a referral?
• What will the exercises involve, and how much should I do at home?
• How much soreness is okay, and which signs mean I should stop and call?
• Will hands-on treatment be part of my care? If so, what are the risks?
• What should I do if my pain flares up between visits?
• How will we know if it is working, and what are the next steps if it is not?
