During your Initial Examination with the Physical Therapist

Your physical therapist will start with a “patient interview” in which we ask questions and learn about your current complaints, symptoms, activity limitations, and get an understanding of the timeline of events which brings us to the current day. Following, we run a series of examination procedures to evaluate your posture, movement pattern, range of motion & flexibility, strength & stability and assess the tissues & joints surrounding your area of pain. Following the examination portion of your session, your therapist will talk to you about a plan of care/course of treatment which will include a variability of the following: therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, posture/body mechanic re-training, and return to sports progression, if applicable.

During Your Course of Treatment at ESPT

We expect 100% commitment from our patients and this allows for the best outcomes. Your physical therapist will talk to you about the plan of care and course of treatment to help you reach your health goals. Throughout your sessions, you and your physical therapist will talk about your current gains/improvements and current limitations which helps your PT identify progress and adjust your plan of care according to your physical presentation that day. You will expect a variability of therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, posture/body mechanic re-training and graded progression to your goals.

About Billing & Insurance of Your Office Visits

As a courtesy to all our patients, we bill the insurance companies for you. A physical therapy claim (i.e., bill) is created at each attended appointment by your PT, processed within our internal billing department and then sent out to your insurance company. Once received by your insurance company, your insurance company will review the billing claim and process it within their department and determine the amount that is covered. The amount covered is determined by your individual PT benefits in which the remaining balance is billed to you later. Every insurance company processes billing at a different time schedule. Due to the nature of this process, you will expect a delay in receiving your statement balance from ESPT.
