FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How Do I Get Started?

Contact Us or call (906) 226-0574 to make an appointment.  We’ll make sure you have all the information needed to be prepared for your first visit.

What should I expect on my first visit?

Your first session consists of an evaluation with a physical therapist. After a thorough examination, the physical therapist will design a treatment plan according to your needs and personal goals. Throughout your recovery process, you will be closely supervised by the physical therapist. Further sessions typically include a combination of exercise, manual therapy, modalities and a home exercise program.

Will my insurance cover PT?

It is the responsibility of the Patient to verify their insurance plans/coverage. This includes services covered, visit limit, co-pay, co-insurance, and deductible. If your insurance provides us with your visit limit and co-pay amount, we will collect co-pays at each date of service and can inform you of your visit limit.

How often will I need to do PT?

2-3 times a week is usually recommended by most physicians. At the conclusion of treatment we will make sure you have the tools and knowledge to maintain the progress you’ve made in PT.

What do I wear?

You should wear athletic shoes and comfortable workout clothes that are loose-fitting. The physical therapist will need to examine the injured area.

What types of treatment do you perform?

We combine traditional physical therapy as well as manual therapy techniques and mobilization/manipulation. Based on your injury, we will customize a specific treatment plan. Your treatment may include electrical stimulation, ultrasound, joint mobilization, heat or ice therapy, stretching, and manual/therapeutic exercises.

How long is each session?

Each visit is approximately one hour.
