Roadmap to Recovery

Coming into your first appointment in Fort Wayne, IN, you may have questions floating through your mind such as, “When will this pain go away? What is causing my pain? Do I need surgery? How many appointments should I expect to have? Will I be able to accomplish my goals and return to normal functioning? What kind of treatment techniques will I receive during my sessions?” These are all good and normal questions to have. Our goal is to answer as many of these questions during your first appointment as we can.

During your first appointment, you will meet and get to know your physical therapist, and your physical therapist will get to know you. After listening to your story, history, and goals, your physical therapist will do a thorough physical assessment to find the root of the issue by discovering the cause and where it is originating. Taking into account your history and goals as well as what your physical therapist observes in their physical assessment, your physical therapist will craft your individualized plan of care specifically aimed to get you better. Your individualized plan of care will detail delivering advanced treatment techniques, prescribing exercises, and imparting specific knowledge that will empower you to heal now and prevent re-injury later.  You will leave your first appointment with a solid plan in place to get you better. You and your physical therapist are a team; they will walk alongside you every step of the way-encouraging you, listening to you, and seeing you through your full plan of care.
