What to Expect at Your Evaluation

Your Evaluation will be scheduled for one hour.  Please bring a referral or prescription for physical therapy from a physician, and your insurance card.

Depending on which area of the body we are evaluating, we may ask you to change into a gown or shorts.  Examples of this would be for shoulder injuries or knee injuries.  If you would prefer to wear your own gym clothes, please bring a tank top for shoulder and neck injuries, and shorts for knee and hip injuries. 

During your evaluation you will be assessed for a variety of orthopedic measures including:

  • Range of motion
  • Strength
  • Joint mobility
  • Gait
  • Flexibility
  • Balance and Stability
  • Integrity of surrounding soft tissue
  • Swelling
  • Peripheral joint mobility
  • Functional mobility

Your therapist will determine which testing is appropriate for your specific diagnosis.
