What to Expect At your First Visit
During your initial evaluation, your physical therapist will spend time with you to learn about your condition, your previous level of function, and how your condition is affecting your life. They will also take specific measurements of the impairments that may be causing your problem
Common measurements taken during a physical therapy examination include:
Palpation
Range of Motion (ROM) measurements
Tests of strength
Functional mobility
Balance
Neurological screening tests
What to Wear
After your examination, your PT will have a pretty clear idea of a treatment plan to start working on decreasing your pain and improving your mobility. Your physical therapist should discuss with you the goals of treatment and the expected course of your rehab.
Your physical therapist may start treatment immediately after your initial evaluation or at your next appointment. They may use therapeutic modalities like ultrasound or electrical stimulation to help manage your pain and improve your muscle function.
Exercise is one of the staples of any rehab program. After your initial evaluation, your physical therapist should prescribe specific exercisesto do on your own and provide you a detailed print-out on how to do them that you can reference at home.
