About Therapy
30-Minute Assessment
This assessment is completed over a phone call. This initial appointment is designed to answer questions and decide if therapy is right for you. If you were referred for therapy, or feel confident you will benefit from it, you can skip the assessment and begin with the comprehensive exam.
Comprehensive Exam
This appointment can be done virtually or in person and will take 1 hour 40 minutes. During the comprehensive exam appointment, photos will be taken and questions will be asked to help build a full picture of the patients’ needs. At the end of the appointment, an appropriate therapy plan will be discussed in detail.
