Your first visit
A first visit takes about an hour.
Step 1: Before you come
Our front desk checks your plan and calls you with what they find. Forms go through our patient portal, so you can fill them in at home.
Step 2: The conversation
Your physical therapist asks about your sport, your schedule, what has changed and what you want to do again. You and your parents are welcome to ask anything.
Step 3: The exam
Your therapist watches you move, tests strength and range, and treats what they can that day. Wear what you would wear to practice.
Step 4: Your plan
Your therapist explains what they found, the risks and the choices, and agrees a plan with you. If your athletic trainer needs a note, we write it.
Step 5: Before you leave
You go home with a few exercises, what to do and what to skip at practice this week, and the next step.
What to wear and bring
Come dressed to move, and bring what helps us see the whole picture.
Bring
Shoes and clothes you play in, such as shorts, leggings or a T-shirt
A water bottle
Notes or imaging reports from your physician, if you have them
Your insurance card, if you are using insurance
Your athletic trainer's name and number
What is not decided on day one
How many visits
That depends on what your therapist finds and how you respond. Your therapist talks it through with you as you go.
When you play again
Return to play follows your physician, your athletic trainer and the tests. We don't set a date at the first visit.
Anything about surgery or medicine
Those decisions belong to you and your physician. We tell you if we think you should see one.
