Walking into a physical therapy clinic for the first time can feel uncertain, especially when you are already hurting. Here is what Total Rehab Solutions itself tells new patients, so you can show up prepared.
Before You Ever Walk Through the Door
The Patient Center lets you download the patient forms and complete them before you go in, which saves time on your first visit. It also has the 1st Visit Video, which, in the page’s words, outlines what to expect before and during your first visit.
Your Questions, Answered by the Clinic Itself
Total Rehab’s first visit video page starts with the questions most new patients have: what will happen on my first day, what should I bring, how should I dress, and will it hurt. The video answers them, so it is worth watching before you go.
How Total Rehab Describes Its Care
Total Rehab Solutions describes its care as purpose driven, evidence based and individualized.
Total Rehab treats a broad range of conditions, including back and hip pain, sciatica, knee and hip injuries, shoulder and rotator cuff problems, foot and ankle diagnoses, nerve conditions, post surgical spine and joint reconstruction, and balance and dizziness disorders.
