About Physical Therapy

What will happen on my first visit?

You will meet your physical therapist who will take a history of your problem and then perform an evaluation. The therapist will determine a "plan of care" that will guide your rehabilitation program. You will start your program on your first visit and then schedule additional visits - generally two to three a week for two to four weeks. The number of visits required will depend on your doctors referral instructions, your therapist's plan of care and authorizations made by your insurance company.

Who are physical therapists?

A key partner in your overall health and wellness, physical therapists (PT's) are experts of movement and function and are professionally educated at a university level. They have all passed state boards and been licensed by the State in which they practice.

Do you need a doctor's prescription?

At Physical Therapy Complete, we like to work with your doctor and encourage you to visit your doctor and obtain a prescription for therapy if indicated. Most insurance companies require a referral from a physician for physical therapy treatment. Patients can choose where to go for therapy – just call us and we will check your therapy benefits and/or help you find a doctor for your condition. Call us if you have any questions.
