-
What should I expect during my first visit?
On your first visit, a therapist will review your medical or injury history, assess mobility, strength, flexibility, range of motion, and functional limitations specific to your condition. Based on that evaluation, they’ll design a personalized rehabilitation plan. Treatment may include manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, soft-tissue mobilization, functional rehab (e.g. foot/ankle or knee rehab), injury-specific rehab (for sports, walking, return-to-activity), and home-exercise/program guidance.
-
How many therapy sessions will I need and how long might each session last?
The number of sessions and length depend on your specific condition, goals, and progress. Some patients complete therapy in fewer visits; others—especially those recovering from surgery or returning to sport—may need more frequent and/or longer sessions. We will monitor your progress and adjust your plan accordingly.
-
Does the clinic accept insurance, and how is coverage handled?
Yes — the Potomac clinic accepts most major health insurance plans. Insurance is verified prior to scheduling services; because coverage can vary by plan and service, it’s recommended to call ahead to confirm that your plan covers the therapy you require.
-
How should I prepare for my physical therapy appointment?
Eat a balanced meal 1-2 hours prior to therapy. Drink about 2.5 cups of water prior to therapy. Take any prescribed pain medications at least 1 hour prior to therapy. Dress in T-shirts, athletic tops, sweatpants, shorts, yoga pants, or athletic leggings. Wear athletic/walking shoes and avoid open toed sandals, flip-flops, and high heels. Ensure proper access to the treatment area.
