Getting the most out of your physical therapy sessions

  • Have all the forms listed above filled out and arrive for treatment sessions at the scheduled time or a few minutes early so you are prepared. Late arrival may affect your one-on-one time with the therapist.
  • Actively participate in the discussion with your therapist to help determine what the frequency of your visits should be. Work in partnership with your physical therapist to help achieve your treatment goals.
  • You will get out of therapy what you put into it. Sufficient effort, as agreed between you and the physical therapist, is necessary to maximize benefit from each treatment session.
  • Follow the home program as instructed by the physical therapist. Your ongoing performance and commitment to the home program is essential to your recovery.
  • If the instructions are unclear, ask for clarification. Only perform exercises at the therapist-specified repetition, frequency, and resistance. More is not always better and may cause injury!
  • If you plan to discontinue therapy or change the frequency of treatment due to personal or financial reasons, be sure to discuss this with your physical therapist in advance. See above for cancelation policy.
