Your First Visit at Orthopedic Performance Therapy of Kansas City

Your First Visit

The initial evaluation is an important first step in your physical therapy journey. During this comprehensive assessment, you and your therapist will begin by having a conversation about your current condition, relevant medical history, and what specific goals you have for your overall outcome.

The next portion of your visit will involve taking objective measurements to get a better sense of how you move and how it may be impacting your pain or limitation. Here your therapist will guide you through a series of motions in different positions to assess your mobility and muscle strength. Your plan of care will be based on the findings of this examination in combination with your specific goals.

Once you and your therapist come to an agreement on what the treatment plan will involve, you will then work together to create a treatment schedule that’s both flexible and optimizes your recovery.
