Do I Need PT?

Both Active Physical Therapy clinics offer free injury screenings as a way to assess your condition and determine if physical therapy is an appropriate course of action. These screenings are brief evaluations conducted by a licensed physical therapist or a trained professional. Our free assessments are for patients of all ages and activity levels so you can get back to doing the things you love.

A prescription is not required for an injury screening. If it is determined PT is right for you then we’ll assist in obtaining a script from your physician.

REQUEST A FREE INJURY SCREENING

WHAT TO EXPECT

The goals of a free injury screening are to:

Assess your condition: The therapist will ask you about your symptoms, medical history, and how the injury occurred. They may also conduct a physical examination to evaluate your range of motion, strength, and any areas of pain or discomfort.

Provide recommendations: Based on the assessment, the therapist will offer recommendations, which may include advice on self-care, exercises to perform at home, or a referral for further evaluation or treatment.

Determine if physical therapy is needed: If the injury screening suggests that physical therapy is necessary, the therapist may discuss treatment options, such as the frequency and duration of therapy sessions.

Answer your questions: You can ask questions about your injury, treatment options, insurance coverage, and any other concerns you may have during the screening.

It’s important to note that while injury screenings are free, subsequent physical therapy treatments may not be.
