Wondering what to expect when you come to Southshore Physical Therapy for your first visit? This Virtual First Visit should put you at ease, check it out.
The first thing you see when you open our doors is Jennifer’s smiling face:
Jennifer will review/explain the necessary paperwork with you and allow you time to fill out the forms.
After your chart is prepared and you are finished with the required paperwork, your physical therapist, Lee Couret, or Gabrielle Cusimano, will personally greet you and escort you to “The Suite” for your evaluation.
Once in the privacy of The Suite, your evaluation will begin. This includes a comprehensive medical history; your current subjective complaints; the objective portion of the evaluation; an explanation of your diagnosis; a review of your problem areas; and a review of your treatment plan and goals.
After you are assured that you have a thorough understanding of your current condition and what physical therapy at Southshore is going to do for you, you will be introduced to the rest of the staff and your treatment begins (YES—on the same day)!
Your treatment may consist of:
Modalities

Therapeutic Exercises

Hands-On Treatment/Mobilization

After your initial physical therapy evaluation and treatment has ended, we will review any questions you may have regarding your care; we will schedule your next visit, and give you an independent Home Exercise Program to augment your physical therapy treatments.
Then, it is back up front to Jen’s smiling face and a big hearty “Good-Bye!” from everyone!
