How should I prepare for my therapy session?
- Make a list of any questions you may have for your physical therapists.
- Write down any symptoms you’ve been having and for how long. If you have more than one symptom, begin with the one that is the most bothersome to you. For example, is your pain or symptom:
- Better or worse with certain activities or movements or with certain positions, such as sitting or standing?
- More noticeable at certain times of day?
- Relieved or made worse by resting?
- For your physical therapy appointments, wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing, like you would wear to exercise.
- During your first visit, your physical therapist will ask you lots of questions and perform a detailed evaluation and examination. At this visit, your physical therapist will work with you to determine your goals and will begin to develop a treatment plan.
The goal of the HRMC Pro Rehab team is to improve your mobility, strength and functional ability, allowing you to achieve your highest functional level and optimal quality of life all while staying close to home.
