What should I expect at my first session?When you arrive, please relax in the waiting area until your physical therapist greets you.

This is followed by a physical examination that may include assessment of posture, mobility, strength, movement patterns, balance, and more. Your and your therapist will then discuss the findings and recommended treatment plan. You will likely begin treatment at your first session and be sent home with exercises to perform on your own.
