What to Expect At Optimum Physical Therapy

Evaluation

Your treatment begins with a focused evaluation, which includes health history and overall health assessment.  Please be sure you have all forms completed prior to your first visit.  If you haven’t had time to complete the forms please arrive 10 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment.  A physical examination is then conducted to assess your areas of concern and injury.

Goal Setting

Using information gathered during the evaluation, you and your therapist will establish a treatment plan and therapy goals designed to help you achieve recovery as quickly and safely as possible.

Treatment

Your treatment program will initially focus on relieving your symptoms and stabilizing your condition.  This will be accomplished during your visits with us as well as on your own at home.  Treatment will then progress to strengthening and regaining maximum movement and function.  Exercise and strengthening programs are tailored to meet your individual goals and aid in this process.  In addition, you will learn ways to prevent future problems and maintain health.

I have been going to Jason at Optimum Physical Therapy since 2013 for preventative back therapy. I had a successful herniated disc surgery in 1995 from a previous high school injury. But as I am not getting any younger, my family physician recommended I try physical therapy for continued back strengthening. I come to see Jason every two weeks, and he also gives me home exercises to do in between. It has been very helpful and is working out great. Jason is always kind, caring, and understanding. He will always listen to all of your concerns and takes the time to answer and explain any questions you may have. All the staff has become like a family to me. You are always greeted with a warm smile and "How are you?". They will work around your schedule to make your appointments at the times that work best for you. I will always recommend Optimum Physical Therapy and would not go anywhere else.

"I had knee replacement January 2020 and was prescribed PT to regain my strength and range of motion. My doctor recommended that I check out Optimum Physical Therapy. I primarily worked with Megan, Sarah, and Emilia my Physical Therapist. All 3 were awesome people, great motivational and caring attitudes, but Emilia was especially kind and helpful. She was thorough and took time to answer all my questions while being concerned about my pain levels. She employed the perfect mix of concern and toughness to keep me on track for a full recovery. In short, I went into Optimum to recover from surgery, and left feeling like I gained new friends. In the time I was at Optimum I observed many patients who were recovering from similar surgeries, and saw all of the staff being kind and supportive to all their patients. I would definitely recommend them if you need to have PT needs"
