Physical TherapyIn Orlando & Surrounding Cities

Physical therapy helps you get back to full strength and movement after an illness or injury.

Physical therapy assists you to rebuild strength and range of motion and, can help to manage pain caused by surgery, a sports injury, joint disease, and chronic diseases like back pain and arthritis. When done properly and consistently, physical therapy can help prevent permanent damage and recurring problems.

Physical therapy uses a combination of techniques to relieve pain, boost coordination, and improve strength, endurance, flexibility, and range of motion. Physical therapists (PTs) often ask patients to use exercise equipment commonly seen in a gym as well as exercise balls and free weights. A Physical Therapist may also use heat or cold, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, massage, and water or whirlpool baths.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • A physical therapy visit lasts about 40-60 minutes. The actual contents of the visit vary based on your diagnosis/need, but typically what happens is:

    1. You check in with the receptionist, make any appointments necessary, and we discuss your health insurance benefits with you.
    2. You go into the gym. You can change clothes if you need to, then begin therapy.
    3. You perform 6-8 various exercises and stretches. These can include therapeutic band exercises, light body weight exercises, or minimal weights. The stretches will promote strength, stability, improved range of motion, and pain relief.
    4. We can initiate other techniques to include manual work, taping, cupping, and dry needling as needed.
    5. The therapist makes recommendations based on your progress. These can include altering the frequency of visits, making additions/alterations to your home exercise plan, or things to do before your next visit.

  • We recommend budgeting 40-60 minutes for a typical therapy session. The only exception to this will be your first visit, which can take about 20 minutes longer due to the physical therapy evaluation your therapist will provide. We also recommend showing up about 10-15 minutes early to your first visit. This way, you can complete the paperwork before your visit time and streamline the process.

  • If we are asking you to do something that is hurting too much, let us know! Physical therapy should not be severely painful. It is not common to be so sore that patients are in pain or it affects their daily life. If this ever happens during or after an appointment, let us know and we will adapt your program.

  • During your initial evaluation, your therapist may ask you a number of questions to determine what the cause of your pain is. This can include questions about your sleep habits, activity level, and work environment. They will also ask for a medical history, and then typically ask direct questions about where and when you experience pain.
