As an introduction to your rehabilitation at St. Charles Sports & Physical Therapy, we would like to provide you with some insight as to what you might expect from physical therapy.
On your initial visit your therapist will get background information on the history of your problem, perform an evaluation to assess your condition, and provide you with your initial treatment. Most importantly, you will be educated on activity modification and a home exercise program.
At future sessions, your therapist will continue to provide the appropriate hands-on treatment, as well as review and progress your current home exercise program. They will also provide your referring physician with timely updates.
However, in order to reach your recovery goals it will take more than what the therapist can provide alone.
It Takes You!
Your recovery is dependent on your active participation in therapy. This includes arriving promptly for your appointment so that your therapist may provide the appropriate treatment in the time frame provided and calling to reschedule if you have to miss an appointment. Most importantly, we ask that you make a sincere effort to follow the instructions and advice of your therapist including doing the exercise program and modifying your activity as directed.
The success of your rehabilitation is the result of a team effort between you and our therapy staff.
