Q: Do I need bpt Physical Therapy?
Everyone needs bpt Physical Therapy. Physical Therapy is not only for when you have an injury. Do you go to the gym but feel like you are missing a muscle group? Do you have a strength imbalance? Do you want to become better at a sport? Would you like to prevent future injuries? Would you like to be able to climb up stairs? Improve your balance when walking up and down curbs? Come to bpt Physical Therapy and our team will evaluate you and create a customized plan in order to help you accomplish your goals.
Q: What do I wear to the initial Evaluation?
Because you will be evaluated by the physical therapist on your strength and flexibility, you will need to wear comfortable, athletic clothing that allows the physical therapist to assess the injured region. Ex: shorts if you have a knee problem, or a tank top if you have a shoulder injury.
Q: What if I don't know my insurance benefits?
Q: How quickly will my pain reduce, strength improve, and how will I know that I am getting better?

While no two people are the same, we often see improvements in the first week.

You will be given a customized home exercise program before leaving your initial evaluation.
