Your First Steps…
-
Scheduling an appointment is simple. Call or text the office (518)-871-9097 and the staff will connect you to our dedicated new patient onboarding specialists. They will be able to answer any questions you might have and match you with the therapist who can most support you and your needs. If you prefer, you may also email us using this form.
-
On the day of your first appointment, arrive about 10 minutes early, so you can get squared away with the front desk before you meet with your therapist. Most of our new patient forms will have been emailed to you ahead of time, so only a few quick signatures and your copay will need to be addressed at that time. If you aren’t comfortable with online forms, we can help you fill things out at the office.
-
Once you are settled at the front desk, your therapist will greet you and take you to your treatment room. Your evaluation will begin with a detailed review of your history - from birth to now! Your therapist will want to know what kinds of injuries you have had, even ones that might be decades old. These injuries are just as important as the more recent ones. What if you can’t remember every injury?? It’s ok! Just remember what your can. The injuries that you can recall the entire story are usually the ones the body is dealing with. Your therapist will help you decode the rest!
-
Once your evaluation is complete, your therapist will create a specialized treatment plan for you and explain the rationale for the treatment. Don’t be surprised if the place that hurts does not get the immediate attention! Many times, the part of the body that hurts is the part that is doing all the work. Your therapist will find the part(s) of your body that can’t work, which is causing the hurting part of your body to overwork. During the course of treatments, balance will be restored in the body and you will feel better.
-
Your therapist will suggest to you a treatment plan including frequency and duration of your visits. Generally, is it suggested to start with about 12 sessions. This will give both you and your therapist a good idea of how your body is handling the treatment. It is important for you to share your goals and level of progress with your therapist, so that any necessary adjustments can be made.
