New Patients
First Visit
Get started with an initial evaluation
Your Evaluation will be scheduled for one hour. Please bring your referral/prescription for physical therapy from a physician, your insurance card, and a photo ID.
Depending on which area of the body we are evaluating, we may ask you to change into a gown or shorts. Examples of this would be for shoulder injuries or knee injuries. If you would prefer to wear your own gym clothes, please bring a tank top for shoulder and neck injuries, and shorts for knee and hip injuries.
