Q: What should I wear to my session?

Q: What can I expect during my first session?

A: Please arrive in a timely manner with your picture ID and prescription. You may fill out the new patient paperwork via our website or you may arrive 10 minutes prior to your appointment to fill it out in the office. A Doctor of Physical Therapy will evaluate you based on your past medical history, symptoms, range of motion, muscle testing and neurological response. The Physical Therapist will then form a plan for you based on their findings that will address your short term and long term goals. We will tailor an exercise program based on your impairments and functional limitations that will achieve your specific goals.

A: Yes, this is called direct access. In the state of California you can be seen without a prescription for up to 12 sessions. After 12 sessions, however,  you will need a prescription from a doctor.
*Please note that this does not apply if you have Medicare or insurance through Motion Picture as they require prescriptions to start physical therapy.
