What Exactly is a FREE Screening?

First let us assure you that we WILL NOT be giving you the sales pitch when you arrive to book a series of appointments. Our first responsibility to you, the patient, is to determine the correct course of treatment for your unique problem, whether that means a course of physical therapy or referral to a physician for more medical testing.  As you will see in the description below, our intention is to do everything we can to put you on the right track to help your condition.  If that means referring you to someone else, that is exactly what we will do.

When you book your screening we will send you a pre first visit package that will include forms that you can fill out to help us determine how we can help you with your condition. These forms can also be accessed through our advanced check-in page.

Our receptionist will help you complete any sections of the form you have questions about and take them to start your file and notify your physical therapist that you have arrived.

After looking over your forms the physical therapist will ask you some clarifying questions about your condition, find out what other treatment options you have explored or tried in the past and evaluate what you felt your results or benefits were with those treatments. Your therapist will use this information as well as some basic information about the nature of your problem to determine whether physical therapy treatment is appropriate or not.

If therapy is considered appropriate, we will be happy to schedule a full evaluation for you.  At the time of the full evaluation, you will go through a series of tests (don't worry, it won't hurt) specific to your condition to determine the specific cause of your condition and the best course of treatment.

The therapist will then discuss their findings with you and make recommendations.  If they feel that you would benefit from physical therapy, they will still send a letter to your physician to inform him/her of the finding of the examination and the recommended course of treatment. 

Before you leave we will give you any information we have on your condition to help you understand your treatment options better.

If you feel that our office is where you would like to have your physical therapy then all you need to do is give us a call. We will be happy to help you schedule additional treatment visits.
