What should I expect at my first consultation?

An initial examination will be performed to address the area of concern, which may include a series of questions along with a movement analysis. An individualized treatment plan will be discussed and the first treatment may begin that day.

What should I wear at my first appointment?

Wear comfortable shoes and clothing on your first appointment that allows for full movement, especially in the area of concerns.

Do I need a physicians referral to make an appointment?

A referral is not required by the State of California, however, it may be required by your insurance provider. If a third party payor (i.e. health insurance) will be billed for your physical therapy services, please follow the policy and procedures of that agency.
