Our physical therapists are highly educated, licensed health care professionals who are dedicated to helping their patients get results.
We want your first day to be smooth, informative and productive.
First, please have your insurance card available when you call to request an appointment. This will allow us to verify your insurance benefits and provide you with an estimate of coverage.
It also helps if you can provide any of the following:
Dress comfortably with clothes that allow easy access for the therapist to evaluate the area for which you’re seeking treatment. Loose-fitting clothes that are comfortable for moving around in and supportive sneakers are often good choices.
Typically, the first session lasts for 1 hour 15 minutes. Each session after that may be 45-60 minutes. The amount of time will be based on your specific needs, and your therapist will discuss this with you ahead of time.
Each patient’s diagnosis is different, so together with your referring physician, your therapist will develop a plan of care that is right for you. Your plan of care and number of visits will be determined during your first visit and explained to you by your physical therapist.
Working with you and your doctor, we can discuss your options and help determine if physical therapy will be the right choice for you. Contact us today to discuss your current condition or even set up a free screening if you choose.
Physical therapists have years of university level training in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology (study of joint movement), neurology, and other medical sciences. Our physical therapists have graduated from accredited physical therapy programs and are state licensed. Depending on the university, the physical therapy program is either a master’s or doctorate level degree. Rest assured, your therapist is well-trained to evaluate and treat your condition.
Yes, in most cases it does. Our clinic will be happy to assist in contacting your insurance company and determining your coverage based on your individual policy. For more information, do not hesitate to contact your clinic. We do offer different payment options for your convenience.
Physical therapy is not meant to hurt, but rather to relieve pain. However, as you restore your mobility and rehabilitate an injury, pain levels can fluctuate. You might experience temporary soreness from using muscles that are weakened or recovering. This is a normal response to therapy treatment. Good communication with your therapist will help us minimize any discomfort. We want you on your way to quick pain relief and back to normal activities.
Manual therapy techniques move muscles, bones, and joints, and at times, tissue massage is an integral part of the therapeutic process. However, not every manual therapy technique is like a massage, and the primary goal through physical therapy is not the same as the experience you might have at a relaxing spa treatment.
As a patient you have the right to receive physical therapy at any place you choose. At Peak, you will receive the highest quality care while achieving the results you need. We pride ourselves on providing a positive, encouraging environment with well-trained, friendly staff. We are confident in our ability to help you reach your goals and live a pain-free life.
