Your Visit to Evolve Physical Therapy & Wellness

What to Expect at Your First Physical Therapy Appointment

At Evolve Physical Therapy & Wellness, we aim to make your first visit as comfortable and informative as possible. Here’s what you can expect when you come in for your initial consultation:

consultation:

  1. Initial Consultation and Discussion Upon arrival, you’ll meet with your physical therapist, who will take the time to understand your concerns and what brought you to our practice. Be ready to discuss the details of your condition, such as when the pain or discomfort began, how the injury occurred, your general health, and any previous surgeries or treatments you’ve undergone.
  2. Comprehensive Evaluation Your physical therapist will then conduct a thorough evaluation to assess your current physical condition. This may include:
  • Assessing posture and identifying any musculoskeletal imbalances.
  • Conducting tests to evaluate muscle length and strength, joint mobility, and soft tissue health.
  • Reviewing any radiographs, MRI results, or other relevant medical documents you’ve brought.

To help you fully understand your condition, your therapist may use models or visual aids to explain what’s happening in your body and why you’re experiencing pain or discomfort.

  1. Personalized Treatment Plan Based on the findings from your evaluation and your personal goals, your physical therapist will develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs. This plan will outline the recommended therapies, expected duration of treatment, and the goals we’ll work together to achieve.
  2. Home Exercise Program To support your recovery process between visits, your therapist will design a home exercise program tailored to your condition. You’ll receive clear instructions on how to perform each exercise correctly to ensure you get the most benefit and avoid any potential setbacks. This step is crucial as it empowers you to take an active role in your recovery.
  3. Scheduling Future Visits After your initial evaluation, our physical therapists and administrative staff will help you schedule your follow-up treatment sessions. We offer flexible scheduling options to fit your lifestyle, with appointments available as early as 6:00 am and as late as 7:00 pm. Weekend appointments may also be available upon request.

 

 

Frequency and Duration of Therapy

The frequency of your visits will depend on your specific condition and needs, but most patients are scheduled for 2-3 sessions per week. Each physical therapy session typically lasts about 1 hour. Treatment plans generally span 6 to 12 weeks, with regular re-evaluations to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.

At Evolve Physical Therapy & Wellness, we are committed to providing you with the highest level of care in a welcoming and supportive environment. We look forward to helping you on your journey to recovery and optimal health. If you have any questions before your visit, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
