How do I get a prescription?
Ask your doctor if he/she would support physical therapy. They can use their own prescription pad to write you one, or we’d be happy to provide them with one. They just need to include your diagnosis, write “evaluate and treat”, and include any other pertinent information. They can fax it to us at 216-682-0417 or you can bring it with you to your first appointment.
How often should I schedule?
Unless otherwise stated by your physician, we typically schedule patients 1- 2 times a week for about 4 weeks. Keep yourself scheduled in advance at all times so you can get the times you like, we fill up quickly!
What do I do before my first visit?
You may be asked to fill out some patient intake forms prior to your first visit. Additional outcome surveys may be requested based on your condition. Please arrive 15 minutes early to your first appointment. This will help with completion of required documents prior to being treated.
What do I bring my first visit?
Be sure to bring your prescription (if required), insurance card(s), and wear/bring comfortable clothing (shorts, sweatpants, tank tops etc.). Your first visit will be an evaluation appointment. Appointments last 38 – 40 minutes. Your therapist will take a few moments to get to know you and your medical history, they will do some testing and/or take some measurements, and together you’ll develop your goals and plan. Come ready to take your first step on the path to wellness!
