Here’s what to Expect at Your First Appointment:
We're thrilled that you're ready to schedule an appointment with us at Austin Manual Therapy. We can't wait to meet you and assist you in reclaiming your optimal movement and well-being. To ensure you have a seamless experience, here's a rundown of what you can expect during your initial evaluation:
Attire: We recommend wearing activewear or something comfortable for stretching and movement. Close-toed shoes are ideal for your safety and comfort.
Personalized Attention: Upon arrival, you'll be warmly greeted by your dedicated Physical Therapist. Throughout your appointment, you'll receive one-on-one attention from your therapist. Rest assured, you won't find yourself abandoned on a stationary bike or left to navigate stretchy bands on your own.
Comprehensive Assessment: We like to kick off our consultations with a good, old-fashioned conversation. We'll delve into your injury or limitation, review your performance and medical history, address any questions or concerns you may have, and, most importantly, discuss your goals. Your input is invaluable in shaping your personalized treatment plan.
At Austin Manual Therapy, we prioritize your comfort, engagement, and progress. We're here to support you every step of the way towards achieving your goals and enhancing your quality of life. We look forward to partnering with you on your wellness journey!
Following our initial discussion, your therapist will seamlessly transition into conducting your evaluation. Throughout this process, we maintain an open dialogue to ensure you understand each step and its significance.
If there are any services that can be performed during your appointment to alleviate pain and discomfort, such as dry needling or soft tissue mobilization, rest assured we will incorporate them into your session.
It's important to note that the focus of this evaluation is not to rush to a conclusion or diagnosis. Instead, it's an opportunity for us to get to know each other better and gain deeper insights into your unique needs and goals. By the end of your appointment, you can expect to receive a personalized care plan designed to guide you back to peak performance.
Should you choose to continue working with Austin Manual Therapy, we'll provide clear explanations regarding the timeline and cost of your treatment plan. We believe in transparency and want you to feel fully informed and empowered every step of the way.
At Austin Manual Therapy, we prioritize your comfort, understanding, and overall well-being. If you have any questions or concerns before your appointment, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to ensure your care experience is as smooth and stress-free as possible.
