Q: What should I expect at my PT visits?
A: During your first visit, your physical therapist will examine you and discuss your symptoms with you. The therapist uses this information to work with you to set goals for your treatment, which will likely include increased or improved movement, along with increased strength, endurance, and flexibility, and decreased pain, if applicable. Your subsequent visits will focus on treatment, based on your diagnosis. Your treatment may include exercise; manual therapy (a hands-on technique used to decrease pain and increase range of motion); modalities such as electrical stimulation, moist heat, or ice; and patient education, including a home exercise program.

Q: What are physical therapist?
