What to expect

What can I expect at the first treatment?
At your first visit, your licensed physical therapist will review your medical history and do a physical evaluation. Depending on your diagnosis or symptoms, your therapist may evaluate your flexibility, strength, balance, coordination, posture, and/or heart rate and respiration. Your therapist may look at how you walk or get up from lying down (functional activities), along with how you use and position your body as you perform activities (body mechanics). The therapist will work with you to determine your goals for physical therapy and to begin planning your treatment. Your physical therapist will determine your plan of care based on your diagnosis, the results of your evaluation, your personal goals, and the recommendation of your physician. You may or may not begin your actual therapy at the first visit. You can schedule your follow up appointments at the end of this visit for times convenient to your schedule. This first visit is an exciting one, beginning you on your road to recovery.

What can I expect on my follow up visits?
You will never sit and wait for your follow up visits. We pride ourselves on seeing everyone at their scheduled appointment times for all recurring treatment sessions. You will be greeted by your physical therapist who will lead you through your physical therapy routine. You will be spending time, one on one, with your physical therapist during each visit. We provide individualized care and need this one on one time to appropriately reassess your condition and progress or modify your plan of care. At Dynamic Health Services our treatment emphasis is on manual physical therapy, supervised exercise and patient education. Our treatment approach during your follow up visits focuses on decreasing pain, swelling, and muscle guarding to improve joint motion. As you improve, your exercise program will be progressed to fit your needs for coordination, retraining motor patterns, balance, endurance, speed, and strength training. We will assist you with the transition from exercise for rehabilitation to exercise for health maintenance, cardiovascular improvement, return to work and even high level athletic performance.

Your physical therapist will continually reassess your progress toward your treatment goals and will work with you and your doctors to plan for your discharge. When all of your treatment goals have been achieved, we will create a comprehensive home exercise program tailored to your specific needs, activities and lifestyle so that you may return to optimal function and keep yourself in good health.
