what to expect: Initial visit

Physical Therapy Evaluation

A doctor of physical therapy will thoroughly evaluate your condition, provide education, and establish a treatment plan with you.

All Physical Therapy referrals are accepted regardless of clinic specified. We will verify your insurance benefits prior to your first visit. Then, we will provide you with an estimate per session.

If you do not have insurance or have a high deductible, sometimes self pay options end up saving you money. If you are using insurance, we will estimate the cost of your visits (deductible, co-insurance, copay) so you won’t have any surprises once your claims are processed.

We ask that you arrive 15 minutes early for your first appointment

Please arrive early to complete paperwork. We also encourage you to dress comfortably. You will be treated by a licensed physical therapist who will perform a comprehensive evaluation. Your first visit will usually take 45‐60 minutes. Please bring your driver’s license, insurance cards, and any imaging/ test results you may have.

Direct Access

In South Carolina, you are entitled to see your physical therapist without a referral for 30 days. This works well for patients who want to self pay and only need a few visits, However, many insurance companies require a referral to process claims. If we perform an evaluation and your condition is not appropriate for physical therapy, we will refer you to your physician for a medical work up.

The Professionals who will be working with you

All services will be rendered by licensed physical therapists (PT) and physical therapist assistants (PTA). You will remain under the care of your initial PT through your entire plan of care. Our PTAs work closely with our PTs and provide care under the guidance of your PT. At our clinic, we also use PT aides. Their role is to assist the PTs and PTAs to keep our clinic more efficient and to keep your time in the clinic more comfortable.

Therapy Frequency

Most patients receive therapy service 2- 3 times per week for approximately 6 weeks. We perform re‐evaluations every 30 days to re‐assess your need for further therapy treatment and to update your treatment plan.

After Therapy

We offer many opportunities for you to progress and transition safely back into the activities you love such as golf, tennis, yoga, running, and general gym programs. Before you are discharged, we will be discussing the various services we offer to help you make that transition safely and fully.
