Your first visit will last approximately one hour and include a comprehensive evaluation and applicable treatment administered by a licensed physical therapist. Your physical therapist will review your medical history, diagnostic tests and any recent events that may have contributed to your condition. Your evaluation will include an assessment of your current functional deficits, pain level, and posture and a thorough evaluation of your flexibility, strength, balance, and endurance.
Following your evaluation, your physical therapist will thoroughly explain your personalized treatment plan and expectations for recovery and give you a commitment letter. Communication between the patient and physical therapist is of utmost importance at ATI as you are an active participant in your recovery.
