What can I expect at my first session?

At your first therapy session, your therapist will perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine a plan of care. Testing may involve flexibility, strength, walking, balance, and safety. You and your therapist will set goals that will be monitored throughout your stay. In most cases, if appropriate, you will also be started on a home program to get you on the road to recovery. You will also be educated on any important information related to your condition. This may include managing pain, expectations for your condition, or even some initial stretches or exercises.
