PT Evaluations
Our comprehensive evaluations begin with detailed medical history review and physical examinations. Therapists assess range of motion, strength, and functional limitations to create customized treatment plans. We use evidence-based assessment tools to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective care planning.
Exercise Therapy
Tailored exercise programs improve strength, flexibility, and mobility. Our therapists design progressive routines combining stretching, strengthening, and functional movements. Patients receive home exercise instructions with proper form guidance to maximize recovery between sessions.
Aquatic Therapy
Our heated pool enables low-impact therapy for joint pain and mobility issues. Water resistance aids muscle strengthening while buoyancy reduces stress on injured areas. This modality benefits patients recovering from surgery or managing chronic conditions like arthritis.
Manual Therapy
Skilled hand techniques address soft tissue restrictions and joint mobility issues. Therapists use targeted massage, mobilization, and manipulation to reduce pain and improve movement patterns. This approach effectively treats neck/back pain, headaches, and sports injuries.
Dry Needling
Certified therapists use thin needles to target muscle trigger points and nerve pathways. This technique reduces chronic pain and muscle tension by stimulating natural healing responses. It's particularly effective for treating repetitive strain injuries and post-surgical recovery.

Questions
Do I need a doctor's referral for physical therapy?
Oklahoma law allows 30 days of physical therapy without a prescription. Most insurances permit evaluations without referrals, but some require prescriptions for coverage. We'll help verify your specific requirements.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring insurance cards, photo ID, any physician referrals, and completed paperwork. Wear comfortable clothing that allows movement assessment and exposes treatment areas when needed.
What happens during the initial evaluation?
Arrive 30 minutes early for paperwork. Your therapist will review medical history, assess your condition through range-of-motion tests, and develop a personalized treatment plan during your first visit.
How often are therapy sessions needed?
Most patients attend 2-3 sessions weekly for 4-6 weeks. Your therapist will determine optimal frequency based on your condition's severity and recovery goals during the initial assessment.
What payment options are available?
We verify insurance benefits upfront and explain copays or coinsurance. For budget concerns, we create flexible payment plans to ensure uninterrupted care while meeting your financial needs.
What conditions do you treat?
We treat musculoskeletal conditions from head to toe, including post-surgical recovery, chronic pain, sports injuries, and neurological disorders. Our therapists also manage complex cases involving nerve conduction issues.
