Healing Bridge Physical Therapy - Answering your questions! in Bend Oregon

My Doctor has recommended Physical Therapy for my neck pain, but how do I chose the right therapist for me?

Most Physical Therapists participate in extensive continuing education from year to year. Courses are different in content and emphasis. Additionally, individual physical therapists have their own style, philosophy, and approach. The clinic that your PT works in will also influence the care they provide for you. Be sure to call around and ask some questions. The receptionist may be able to answer all your questions, but it is appropriate to ask to speak with a physical therapist as well.

•	Is there a physical therapist at your clinic that specializes in my problem?
•	How many therapists will be treating me? (a team of 2 usually works well).
•	Will I be working with a licensed physical therapist and assistant, or do you employ aides to do a portion of the care?
•	How long do you schedule treatments for?
•	How does the therapist know what my doctor wants?
•	What can I expect at my first visit?
•	How do I know what my insurance pays?
•	Is there a payment plan available?
•	Why should I choose your clinic?
