Welcome to Our Practice - Your First Visit
What to expect from your physical therapist:
On your initial visit to Kern and Associates Physical Therapy, your physical therapist will meet with you to perform a physical therapy evaluation that will encompass:
- Your past and present history.
- Movement analysis to see the source of your pain or dysfunction.
- A plan of care that will meet your personal goals.
- Exercises, pain relieving modalities or taping to begin the healing process.
- A home exercise program of stretching, strengthening and/or functional activity modification to facilitate faster improvement.
- Instruction in home or office ergonomics and/or sleep positions to alleviate any source of pain caused by postural habits.
Besides your home exercise(s), you should leave your first visit with instructions of what to do if the pain gets worse, which pain is pain to work through and a phone number so that you can contact your therapist with any questions.
The video below will answer many of the questions you may have. But, if you have additional questions, feel free to contact us. The video will start when 30% of it has loaded. Turn up your speakers.
