Your first visit
Thank you for choosing Advanced Health Physical Therapy as your physical therapy provider.

Plan on your first visit to last approximately one and a half-hours. In order for us to effectively serve you, we ask that you arrive fifteen minutes prior to your appointment time to process the necessary paper work.
If we will be treating your knee or lower back,please bring a pair of shorts.
Please also remember to bring:
- Your doctor's prescription for physical therapy (if required by your health insurance)
- Your insurance information (including your insurance card)
- Any co-payment required by your insurer (due at the time of visit)
- Your appointment card to each visit
What happens at your first visit
At your first visit the physical therapist will perform an initial evaluation/examination and determine your physical issues, discuss with you the findings, establish a treatment program, explain what will happen at the regular treatment sessions, begin with some of the treatment, teach you your home program that needs to be started right away, and issue to you a specifically designed home program hand out, with pictures and instructions.
Our physical therapist will act as your physical therapy coach to educate you and train you so you can become independent.
