WHAT TO EXPECT
A Physical Therapist who is a master climber and athlete, treating climbers and athletes. “I know climbers, aerialists, runners, and cyclists, the ways they train and the extreme things they do out there!”
You can call to talk to the Physical Therapist directly or text to make an appointment. No prescription is required for PT in Idaho. Prescriptions are welcome too.
Receive treatment on site at The Commons Climbing Gym or Asana Climbing Gym in Boise, ID. By appointment.
FIRST VISIT
On the first visit, the Initial Evaluation, each individual will meet 1-1 with the Physical Therapist. She will listen to you carefully and perform a detailed assessment of your specific problem.
This includes a brief history of the problem, relevant objective measures of strength, flexibility, nerve functioning, biomechanical analysis and pertinent special tests, to form a clear picture of what is going on.
Many injuries can improve following the first visit, but recovery averages between 4 and 12 visits, depending on the nature of injury. The PT will discuss prognosis and expected duration of recovery. The PT and patient will clarify goals and a clear explanation of findings will be discussed with the patient, then a plan will be defined.
Treatment will be initiated and instructions given for you to continue your care at home. The PT will keep a detailed written report of each visit. The PT will communicate with the patient’s physician when appropriate or requested.
Follow up visits will be scheduled and payment will be taken at the time of the visit.
FOLLOW UP
On the follow up visit we will get right down to the business of treatment.
The PT’s goal is always to move toward improvement and to give you control over your own condition through active participation of the patient, patient education, home exercises, hands on therapies and a variety of other techniques.
