The first appointment: Getting ready

  • Please arrive 30 minutes early for your first appointment so that you can complete your paperwork.
  • Do you have any additional questions? Make a list of questions you want to ask during your first meeting.
  • Make sure you bring all of your documentation. You will need a photo ID and a copy of your insurance card.
  • Please call our office ahead of time at (518) 273-2121 to confirm your insurance benefits.
  • Get ready to discuss your medical history, previous treatments, current medications, and other pertinent information.
  • Make a list of any symptoms or warning signs that the therapist should be aware of. What recently irritated or hurt you? How long have you been dealing with the issue? What things can you not do anymore because of your pain or injury?

What to expect during the first appointment

When you walk into our physical therapy clinic, it’s like walking into any other medical office. Here are some things you can expect.

  • You will register at the front desk when you arrive at our office. We’ll need your insurance information as well as any other paperwork you’ve brought with you (i.e., referral*, X-ray or MRI report, other medical reports)
  • Following that, you will be evaluated by your physical therapist. The therapist will conduct a thorough assessment that includes your previous medical history as well as your current pain, illness, or injury. Having an open and honest conversation with us is critical to our ability to assist you. For the best possible solution, we sincerely want to hear and understand your problem(s).
  • Your physical therapist will assess your range of motion, strength, and movement patterns during your appointment. Based on the results of your evaluation, your physical therapist will develop a treatment plan for you. During the first day, you will most likely receive an explanation of why you feel the way you do. In addition, you will receive some treatments to alleviate any pain. Each subsequent therapy session will build on the initial evaluation to maximize impact. Our goal is to assist you with a rapid recovery while achieving long-term, meaningful results.
  • Your physical therapist will document their findings and treatment plan, which can be provided to any medical expert that you choose.
  • Referrals are mandatory for Workers’ Compensation, No Fault, and after a surgurical procedure(s).

Our therapist will discuss your goals during your first session. This will be based on sound reasoning and clinical experience and will determine how long and how frequently you should attend your physical therapy sessions.

You will schedule your next follow up at the front desk before you leave your initial appointment. Follow up appointments are typically scheduled 24-48 hours after your initial evaluation. We typically only schedule one visit at at time, as the frequency of appointments can vary based on your treatment plan; however, if you need to schedule several appointments to better fit your schedule we can accomodate that as well.

If you have questions, please contact us at any time. We want to make sure you are as comfortable as possible as you return to normal.
