What Does a Session Look Like with a Mobile Physical Therapist?

Getting mobile physical therapy is a great way to receive personalized care in the comfort of your own home or office. But what does an actual session look like? Here’s what you can expect when you book an appointment with a mobile physical therapist:

First, your physical therapist will assess your mobility, strength and range of motion. This may include looking at how you move during certain activities and observing any compensatory patterns that could be causing pain or discomfort. Your therapist may also use goniometers, manual muscle tests and other tools to determine the best course of treatment for you.

Next, your physical therapist will design a personalized treatment plan tailored specifically to your goals and needs. This may involve addressing chronic conditions like back pain or neck pain, improving poor posture through corrective exercises, helping patients recover from injuries or surgeries, and much more. Your plan will likely involve both at-home exercises and hands-on modalities such as joint mobilizations, soft tissue mobilizations and therapeutic massage.

Finally, you and your therapist will continue to monitor progress during each session in order to gauge effectiveness of treatment. In addition to making adjustments based on therapeutic findings, they should also provide guidance and education about how best to prevent future injury or re-injury so that you can keep up with your therapy even after concluding sessions with them.

Mobile physical therapy offers many benefits including convenience, personalization and efficiency compared to traditional PT sessions—so why not give it a try today?
