Physical therapy is not meant to hurt, but to relieve pain! There is a chance, however, as you restore your mobility that your pain levels will fluctuate. You might experience some temporary soreness from using muscles that are weakened or recovering.

Rest assured that this is a normal response to physical therapy treatment and not a cause for concern. Your Physical Therapist will be with you every step of the way and you will have his or her direct email anytime you have a question about what you are feeling or what you should be doing.

With physical therapy, it’s important to know that the overall goal is to restore pain-free mobility and function and to prevent the injury or pain from recurring.

Our physical therapists evaluate your movement patterns, identify the cause of your pain, and work to manage or eliminate it.

Physical therapists are trained medical experts when it comes to how your body moves and functions as a unit. They work closely with physicians to make sure that your treatment plan is as efficient and effective as possible. Physical therapy is a medical, hands-on approach to relieving pain and restoring function.

While every patient’s condition and pain are unique, our physical therapist will use a variety of hands-on techniques, exercises, and equipment to relieve pain quickly and restore your function to optimum levels.

Although all patients are different, typically, the first session lasts for 1 hour. Each session after that is typically 40 minutes.

The amount of time will be based on your specific needs, and our therapist will discuss this with you. You will most likely see your therapist once or twice per week, to begin with, and as you progress through treatment, your sessions will be more spread out.

Dress comfortably in clothes that allow easy access for the therapist to examine your problem areas and that you feel comfortable moving in - no one has to get dressed up for us ;).

For treatments, loose-fitting clothes that are comfortable for gentle exercises and supportive sneakers are often good choices to wear.

Oftentimes, there is a difference felt the same day! However, each patient is different. So, together with your referring physician, our therapist will develop a plan of care that is right for you.

Your plan of care and number of visits will be determined during your first visit and explained to you by our physical therapist.

Your insurance benefits will be determined before your second visit, and you will be informed of what, if any, payment is necessary on that date.

We accept cash, check, debit card, and credit card. We are happy to discuss payment plan options as well. It is our policy that payment is made at the time of service.

Yes! Once you have completed your therapy sessions, our therapist will review your at-home continuing therapy program and any recommended in-office follow-ups.

Please have your prescription and insurance card available when you call. This will allow us to verify your insurance benefits and provide you with an estimate of coverage.

To bring on your first visit:

- Print out the patient forms, fill them out, and bring them with you. If you are unable to do this, please allow for extra time to fill these out upon your arrival.

- Please wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your problem areas and that you feel comfortable moving in.

- Please arrive 15 minutes early to complete any remaining paperwork, so you can maximize your time in your evaluation.

- Insurance information (we will make a copy of your card).

- A prescription (if needed) for physical therapy from your referring physician, CRNP, or PA.

- In case of an automobile accident or worker’s compensation claim, bring any case manager or insurance adjuster contact names, phone numbers, and claim number.

In most cases, insurance will cover a good portion, if not all, of your treatment costs. We understand navigating insurance can be confusing, so OMT Specialists will be happy to assist in contacting your insurance company and determining your coverage based on your policy.
