Questions
How is my progress tracked during physical therapy?
We track progress through regular assessments of range of motion, strength, functional mobility, and pain levels. Therapists set specific goals with patients and adjust treatment plans based on measurable improvements in physical capabilities.
Why does physical therapy take longer than expected?
Recovery duration depends on injury severity and individual healing rates. We treat root causes rather than symptoms, ensuring lasting results. Patient adherence to home exercises and attendance at scheduled sessions significantly impact recovery speed.
Can I continue therapy after feeling better?
Yes, we recommend maintenance therapy to prevent reinjury. Therapists develop personalized home exercise programs and periodic check-ins to sustain improvements and optimize long-term physical function.
What conditions does occupational therapy treat?
Occupational therapy addresses hand injuries, neurological conditions, work-related injuries, and daily living skill challenges. Services include adaptive equipment training, cognitive rehabilitation, and ergonomic modifications for improved independence.
