Tracking your progress is an ongoing process that your therapist will be evaluated during each session to quantify any progression. Your progress will be noted and sent to your referring physician, primary care physician, insurance company, lawyer and case manager (if applicable). Your therapist may track your progress using various kinds of self-report questionnaires to help us better understand your condition in your own words. Patient Progress Reports give you the opportunity to give us an update on your condition and your therapy.
Most musculoskeletal and neurological conditions can be treated through physical therapy. In fact, therapy is an effective proven, low cost and noninvasive way to overcome most injury, illness, impairment or disability. We see all kinds of conditions ranging from pain, fractures, total joint replacements, sprains/strains and post surgical conditions to name a few. Commonly we successfully treat things like carpal tunnel syndrome, rotator cuff tears, ligament tears, tendonitis and other tendon disorders and arthritis. Conditions range anywhere from back/neck pain, shoulder and elbow pain, headaches, and lower extremity conditions including hips, knees, ankles, and foot pain and dysfunction.
You should bring your insurance card and photo ID. If you had surgery, any operative, MRI, and x-ray reports are very beneficial. In general, the wearing of comfortable clothing that will allow you to move around is best. Change areas are available in most clinics.
In our early years, STI original protocols were developed for use in sports injuries, and for our work with firefighters and police departments that required strengthening for complete of functional rehabilitation.
