At your first appointment, please bring completed paperwork available for download from our website. If you have a physical therapy referral, please bring that along, though it may not always be necessary.

The therapist will also perform an objective evaluation, which may include palpation, range of motion testing, muscle testing, neurological screening, special tests, and posture assessment. Together, we will develop a treatment plan based on your input and our assessment.

Please bring any physical therapy referrals from your doctor, payment information, and your insurance card. If applicable, bring Workers' Compensation claim details, auto insurance, or attorney lien information.
