What to Expect
Sapphire Physical Therapy emphasizes a comprehensive therapeutic approach, utilizing manual therapy, patient education, therapeutic exercise, and pain reducing techniques to enhance the recovery of our patients and safely return them to pain free function in the shortest time possible. If you choose Sapphire as your rehabilitation provider, here’s what to expect along your journey to maximum recovery.
For your first appointment, please complete our patient forms and bring them with your insurance card or claim information and photo ID. Your healthcare provider may have also given you a referral form or prescription for physical therapy. If so, please bring that as well.
Your first appointment will entail a comprehensive evaluation, goal setting, treatment, education about your condition, and follow-up communication regarding your progress.
What to wear:
In order to make the most of your physical therapy sessions, we ask that you wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing; something that allows your physical therapist to access skin at your treatment site. Exercise clothing, such as sweats, t-shirts, and shorts work very well.
What you can do:
Because you are the primary focus of our care, your active participation is essential to a successful rehabilitation program. The following guidelines are highly recommended to enhance the achievement of your goals:
Follow through with any prescribed home exercise programs
Report any significant changes in symptoms, medications, and function
Keep all scheduled appointments
Arrive on time to all appointments to provide maximum time with your therapist
