35 Q&A Physical Therapy

4. Especially active and involved Grandparent- Why? Grandparents who play games with their grandkids, help with schoolwork or like to walk with them to and from school, take them places or babysit them, often tell is that’s why the felt the need to come and try PT. 5. People who take their health very seriously- Why? A lot of the people who visit us are very “pro- active” about their health. That means they read up on foods, vitamins, health topics, try to eat right, take vitamins & other supplements such as cod liver oil- and do their best to stay out of the MDs office and the hospital. The very same motivations to stay out of the MD office are the reasons “why” to come to see a PT like me. Q5. What if I book an appointment today, then before I get to you, there’s a positive change in my condition and I don’t need to come and see you anymore? A5. Great! Best Outcome…just give us a call to cancel your appointment and we will cancel your appointment from our schedule and ask that you keep in touch to let us know how you’re doing. Though, I often recommend at the least to come in one visit to make sure your motion, flexibility and strength are good and balanced, so you will not repeat the issue in near future. Q6. What should I wear to therapy? A6. Our office staff can tell you this on the phone. But you never have to remove large chunks of clothing. To make your PT experience as comfortable as possible please keep in mind the location of your injured body part. Q7. What if I don’t want to make another appointment after my first visit, do you take it personally? A7. Not at all. And that’s fine by me. Our first priority is to tell you what’s going wrong and then tell you what would be your best options for care. Once we’ve done that, it is your decision on how you would like to handle your care. We KNOW we can give you amazing care and results. Q8. How likely is it that physical therapy will be able to help me? A8. If your problem or concern is one of pain and/or stiffness in the muscles or joints of the following area(s): *Back *Hip * Knee *Neck/Shoulder *Ankle *Foot/Ankle *Wrist/Hand Then its 99% likely that PT will be able to help you, and there are various ways we might do that. Q9. Can I talk to a therapist before I book just to confirm PT is right for me? A9. Absolutely! Just call us using this number 714-557-2100, or even email your questions to me using mark@powerptsm.com and we will get back to you ASAP.
