Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What conditions can physical therapy address?

Physical therapy can help treat a variety of conditions, including sports injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, chronic pain, and neurological disorders such as stroke recovery and Parkinson’s disease. It is also beneficial for individuals dealing with arthritis, balance issues, or mobility limitations caused by aging. By addressing these conditions with targeted exercises and therapy, patients can regain strength, mobility, and independence.

How long does a typical physical therapy session last?

Sessions typically last 45 minutes to an hour, depending on your specific treatment plan and condition. The length of therapy varies based on your progress and goals. Some patients require short-term care for acute injuries, while others need long-term rehabilitation for chronic conditions or post-surgical recovery. Our therapists will work with you to ensure each session is effective and tailored to your needs.

Is a referral needed to start physical therapy?

In many cases, a referral from a physician is not required to start physical therapy, although some insurance plans may have specific requirements. Direct access to physical therapy allows patients to begin treatment sooner, which can lead to faster recovery. We recommend checking with your insurance provider or contacting our office for assistance if you’re unsure about the requirements.

What should I wear to my physical therapy sessions?

It’s best to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for easy movement, such as athletic wear or stretchy fabrics. Supportive sneakers are recommended, especially if your therapy involves walking, balance exercises, or strength training. Wearing the right clothing ensures that you can move freely and that the therapist can properly assess and assist with your movements.

How soon can I expect to see results from physical therapy?

Results vary depending on the severity of the condition being treated and the consistency of therapy sessions. Some patients notice improvements in mobility and pain relief within a few sessions, while others may take several weeks to achieve their goals. Staying committed to your therapy plan, following prescribed exercises, and maintaining an active lifestyle can help speed up progress and ensure long-term benefits.
