Upon Arrival

Plan on arriving 10-15 minutes prior to your appointment for the paperwork process, or complete the forms in advance by referring to the Helpful Forms page.
Length of Session
Please allow up to one hour for your initial visit, and 30-45 minutes for follow-up appointments.
Appropriate Attire
We recommend wearing or bringing comfortable clothing and shoes to your office visit; however, Joint Effort keeps gowns and shorts available for your convenience when needed.
Evaluation
After completing your check-in process, you will be introduced to your therapist and proceed to a treatment room. Your therapist will review your medical history, perform an evaluation of your current injury or diagnosis, and determine an individualized treatment plan.
Treatment
Based on the findings of your evaluation, treatment will be initiated during your first visit. Your therapist will also educate you regarding care/prevention of your condition at home or work. Your therapist will inform you if further visits will be required for your condition, and recommend an expected frequency and duration for treatment.
Physician Updates
If referred to us by a physician, your physical therapist will communicate frequently with your physician regarding evaluation findings, treatment plans, and your progress. This allows for an interdisciplinary team approach to your care.
