What is Physical Therapy?
Physical Therapy is a licensed health profession, whose licensed practitioners evaluate and treat mechanical, physiological and developmental impairments using a variety of methods, such as specially designed exercises and physical activities in order to restore function and to reduce pain.
A Licensed Physical Therapist is a person who has graduated from an
accredited Physical Therapy School and is licensed by the Arkansas State Board of Physical Therapy.
What Will My Appointments Be Like?
On your first appointment you will be evaluated by a Licensed
Physical Therapist, who will design a treatment plan tailored to your condition and your goals for rehabilitation. On following appointments the Physical Therapist will assess your progress and proceed with the treatment plan. Appointments should last 30 - 60 minutes. You should dress in comfortable clothes that let you move freely.
Important Things To Know...
✰ Your appointment time is not an estimate. Therefore it is very important that you arrive on time for your appointment and be respectful of other patients’ appointment times. If you are late for your appointment time then your treatment may have to be shortened, and you may not receive the full benefit of your treatment for that day. Please call ahead and let us know if you have to be late for an appointment.
✰ You may be scheduled as requested by your doctor. Most patients are seen 3 times a week for 3-4 weeks. Every treatment is important, and you will progress faster if you commit to attend all of your appointments. If you must miss a scheduled appointment please call us as soon as you know this and try to reschedule that appointment.
