Questions To Ask your Physical Therapist

You’ve made the decision, perhaps with a referral from your doctor, to seek physical therapy. Perhaps you’ve recently had hip, knee, shoulder or back surgery and require assistance in the rehabilitation process. Or you want to avoid surgery by gaining strength in a particular area. Maybe you’d like to improve your balance, flexibility and mobility. Our licensed, experienced physical therapist at Nevada Rehabilitation Centers can help with these and other related issues, and do it by unlocking your body’s natural abilities, without the need for potentially harmful medications.

Of course, any patient coming in for an initial visit will have questions about what we do and how we do it. So, we’ve provided a list of some of the questions we are more than happy to answer in order to make our clients feel comfortable and confident as we begin treatment:

• Do you perform a thorough evaluation of my medical and family history and current fitness level in order to recommend a treatment plan that’s tailored specially to my needs?

• What is your background, and how much experience do you have in treating my particular condition?

• Will you explain the course of my treatment, including the types of exercises, number and length of the sessions?

• What percentage of my treatment will be provided one-on-one by the physical therapist, and what percentage will be provided in a group session or by aides/staff?

• Will my feedback be welcomed during the course of treatment?

• How much pain or discomfort can I expect during treatment?

• What should I expect at the conclusion of my work with the physical therapist, and what do you expect of me?

Our physical therapist at Nevada Rehabilitation Centers is glad to answer these and all other inquiries about the benefits of working with us. The level of attention and care we provide has made life-changing improvements for patients of varying ages and abilities. Please contact us today to schedule an appointment!
