What To Expect

​If you are preparing for your care at Precision Physical Therapy and Wellness here's what to expect:

Prior to Initial Visit

​           Prescription for treatment: 
           Most patients come to us with a prescription for physical therapy that was issued by their physician -- this prescription is                 similar in form to what you take to the drugstore for medicine -- and includes recommendations for treatment.

           Insurance verification:
           Our staff will verify your insurance and our participation in your specific insurance plan.

           Call Precision Physical Therapy and Wellness to schedule your initial evaluation.

​Initial Evaluation
         
           What to wear:
           We recommend that patients wear looser-fitting exercise clothing and sneakers for maximum comfort.

           Patient registration forms:
           Please arrive 10-15 minutes early to allow time to complete your new patient registration forms, or take a few moments                   now to print and complete the forms. When you arrive at Precision, the Patient Service Specialist will greet you and                         review the forms. The Specialist will schedule all of your appointments and collect your co-payment (if applicable) at each               visit.

Meet the therapist:
You will meet with a physical or occupational therapist (hand therapist) who will evaluate your injury or condition. They will discuss your goals, specific needs, and develop an individualized treatment plan.

Next steps:
The length of your treatment plan and frequency of visits is based on your specific injury/condition, the physician prescription, your insurance plan and the therapist’s recommended treatment plan.

Regularly Scheduled Appointments
At each visit, you will work with a member of our clinical team who will instruct and supervise your care. As you reach specific treatment goals, you will progress to new levels, treatments and exercises.

At the end of each visit, your therapist will answer any questions you may have. This is a terrific time to share your thoughts, revisit your goals, and discuss any other pertinent information with your therapist.

In order for our clinical team to get you back to optimal functionality in a quick and safe manner, you will likely have more than one therapy appointment a week. This will enhance your ability to achieve sufficient long-term gains.

Home Exercise Programs
You may be provided with a home exercise program that compliments your plan of care. The home program is an important part of the healing process and will assist you in achieving your goals.

Communication
Your therapist will maintain regular contact with your doctor, surgeon and/or case manager to ensure timely updates on your progress.
