Preparations
When preparing for your initial physical therapy appointment, be sure to write down the important facts about the history of your problem. By writing things down, you are less likely to forget or miss important facts. Try to answer the following:
- When and how did your problem begin?
- What was your functional mobility status prior to your injury?
- How often do the symptoms recur?
- How is that problem changing?
- What makes things better or worse?
Our PT will likely ask you some questions about your injury or illness. Be sure to bring a list of your medications and any surgeries or procedure you have had in the past.
