What is physical therapy?

Physical therapy is the treatment of injuries or disorders using physical methods such as exercise, massage, or the application of heat. At Blair Orthopedic Sports and Rehabilitation, our trained staff will work with you to establish a treatment program individually designed for your specific needs.

Your initial evaluation will usually last about an hour. Then, depending upon your overall health and the type of injury you have, you’ll normally have office visits 1-3 times per week lasting from 30 minutes to an hour or more.

What should I wear to my therapy session?

It’s best to wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing. Shorts are recommended for treatment involving areas such as the hip, knee, or thigh. If necessary, we have shorts and gowns that you can change into for your treatment session.

Will my insurance cover my physical therapy?

We participate in most insurance plans. Although individual plans vary, nearly all will cover outpatient physical therapy. Some insurance companies require pre-approval before beginning treatment, so be sure to check with your insurance company if you are unsure about coverage.
