Evaluation:

Choose To Be Well Today- You Are Worth It!

At your first visit, you will receive a comprehensive evaluation to determine why you are having pain or limitations in activity. A comprehensive evaluation starts with talking through what brings you in to the clinic and a thorough review of your medical history to ensure physical therapy is appropriate for you. Then I will ask you to move to evaluate your strength, endurance, balance, flexibility and nervous system. Based on all of our findings and your personal story, we determine a physical therapy diagnosis. Together, we determine the best treatment plan to meet your goals and treat the cause of your pain, not just the symptoms themselves. Treatment plans are founded in research and clinical expertise, individualized to meet your needs and goals. Treatment may include: therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, neuromuscular re-education, and/or trigger point dry needling. At the end of the evaluation, you can expect to have a better understanding of:

1. what causes your pain and/or limitations
2. what good things you are already doing to help yourself get better
3. what else you can do to make it better
4. how skilled physical therapy treatments can help
5. about how long it will take to reach your goals

I will meet you where you are at and guide you on your path to pain relief, improved function and quality of life. You will gain a better understanding of how pain works. Pain education empowers you to treat your pain not just manage it, which sets True North Physical Therapy apart. If pain is the problem, why not learn more about it?
