What Happens During a Physical Therapy Evaluation?
Your first appointment includes a comprehensive evaluation by a licensed physical therapist. This assessment begins with a review of your medical history and a conversation about your goals, symptoms, and daily challenges. Then we’ll assess your strength, flexibility, joint mobility, posture, and movement patterns to identify the underlying issues.
Based on your needs, your care plan may include:
- Manual therapy and soft tissue techniques for pain relief and mobility
- Joint mobilizations to improve range of motion and alignment
- Therapeutic exercise to build stability, strength, and endurance
- Neuromuscular re-education for movement coordination
- Postural correction and ergonomic education
- Gait and balance training to improve safety and control
- Functional movement strategies for daily and occupational tasks
Our care plans are designed to evolve with you. As you progress, we modify the exercises and techniques to match your recovery pace and performance needs. Your therapist will track your improvement through measurable outcomes and communicate results clearly, so you always know where you stand. We believe in collaboration not just between patient and provider, but across your full healthcare team when necessary.
Education, Empowerment, and Home Strategies
Physical therapy is most effective when it extends beyond the clinic. That’s why we place a strong emphasis on patient education and active participation. You’ll learn how to care for your body during and after therapy, with practical tools you can apply at home, at work, and during exercise. Our therapists provide posture and movement training, body mechanics coaching, and injury prevention advice that help you stay healthy long after discharge.
Whether your goal is to return to a sport, prevent falls, reduce joint pain, or simply feel more confident in your movement, we support you with the guidance and encouragement you need to succeed. Our team is here not just to help you recover but to equip you for long-term independence and resilience in your daily life.
Answers to Common Questions

Is physical therapy painful?
Physical therapy should not be painful. While some discomfort is normal during certain movements or stretches, we adjust your plan to keep you comfortable while making consistent progress. Pain is not a requirement for healing.
Can I start without a referral?
