What should I expect during physical therapy?
Your physical therapist will review your medical history and perform a physical evaluation. Depending on your condition, your therapist may evaluate your strength, range of motion/flexibility, endurance, balance, coordination, posture, walking, stair negotiation, and body mechanics.
Please wear appropriate clothing (i.e. t-shirt, shorts, tennis shoes, sports-bra). Your therapist will then discuss with you their findings and suggested treatment plan.
You and your therapist will develop goals for physical therapy together. You will most likely be given a home exercise program that includes specific pictures and instructions for exercises.
