HOW OFTEN WILL I NEED TO ATTEND PHYSICAL THERAPY?

There are many factors which will determine how often you will need to come to physical therapy, such factors are the type of injury, physical fitness of the patient, medical factors, and compliance with a home exercise program.  After your initial evaluation the physical therapist will consider all of these factors, and determine how often you will need to attend physical therapy.

HOW LONG WILL EACH APPOINTMENT TAKE?

At Healy Physical Therapy we believe that one-on-one care with patient and therapist is the best way to get positive results.  Every patient will be assigned a half hour of treatment time with a therapist where they will work with you to get you better.  Please make sure you arrive at least five minutes before your scheduled appointment to ensure you get the entire amount of time that has been allocated for your appointment.

WHAT MAKES YOUR FACILITY DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS PHYSICAL THERAPY FACILITIES?

Every patient that comes to our facility receives one-on-one care from a therapist for every visit.  No patient will ever be double booked at our facility.  This gives you time to interact with your therapist with any concerns or questions you may have.  Education is what separates us from all the rest of the facilities.  After your evaluation the physical therapist will sit with you and explain your injury to you and how they will help you.  Every treatment you receive will be explained to you with rational about how the treatment will help you.

IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO AT HOME THAT WOULD SPEED THE RECOVERY PROCESS ALONG?

After the evaluation the physical therapist will give you appropriate exercises to do at home.  Peroidically throughout your plan of care the therapist may change your home exercise program to accommodate your new strength gain.

HOW MUCH WILL EACH VISIT COST?

This will all depend on your insurance carrier that you have.  Your insurance company will determine what your co-pay and/or deductible will be depending upon the type of plan you have.  Each patient’s insurance will be verified prior to your appointment and someone from our billing department will inform you of any out-of-pocket responsibilities.  You may also contact your insurance company to verify your benefits for out-patient physical therapy.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO PHYSICAL THERAPY?

Please wear loose comfortable clothing with sneakers or rubber sole shoes.  If appropriate try and wear clothing that will expose the injured area. An example would be for a leg injury please wear shorts, for a shoulder injury we recommend wearing a tank top.  You do not need to wear the clothing to the facility, but please give yourself appropriate time to change into your necessary clothing.
