When you come to the clinic, our receptionist will ask you the
following:

• Your insurance card – we will make a copy and will keep
  it with your records.
• The referral/prescription from your care provider for
  Physical Therapy.
• Any applicable co-pay.

On any subsequent visits, it is important for you to keep us informed
of any changes that may occur such as change in insurance, a
change in address, a change in physician, or any other pertinent
information.

We may also need to ask you to change into a patient gown for
your evaluation and treatment. If you would be more comfortable in
your own shorts and tee shirt or tank top, please bring them with
you.

During this initial evaluation, the physical therapist will examine you
and will establish a plan for further treatment and/or a home
exercise program. All of our therapists are trained in manual
therapy techniques to assist in your recovery from injury or
dysfunction.

This means your Olympic Physical Therapy therapist will spend
some time with you palpating for joint movement, tissue restrictions
and disorders. They will use these manual skills to access your
problem and care. Your therapist will develop a treatment plan that
will include your own personal goals, as well as those of your
physician and physical therapist. These goals will be reviewed at
each visit and will likely include an exercise program that is
individually designed to enable your recovery.
