FAQS

Many patients can start physical therapy without a doctor’s referral due to direct access laws. However, some insurance plans may still require one for coverage. Our team can help verify your benefits before your first visit.

You can schedule an appointment by contacting our front desk during business hours, requesting an appointment online via our website, or emailing info@stromapt.com

Your first physical therapy visit includes both a comprehensive evaluation and your first treatment session so you can begin your recovery right away.

During the appointment, your licensed physical therapist will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, and learn about your goals for treatment. A detailed physical therapy evaluation will then be performed to assess your movement, strength, flexibility, posture, and overall function. This evaluation helps identify the root cause of your pain or injury.

Unlike some clinics that only perform an assessment, most patients at our clinic receive treatment during their first physical therapy appointment. Your therapist may begin hands-on manual therapy, guided exercises, movement training, and education to help reduce pain and improve mobility. You will also receive a personalized AI-assisted software, home exercise program that tracks your progress between visits. Most first appointments last 45–60 minutes, giving your therapist enough time to fully evaluate your condition and begin treatment immediately.

Wear comfortable, flexible clothing that allows you to move easily — like athletic wear. Bring supportive shoes for walking or exercises. If you don’t have suitable clothes, we provide shorts and t-shirts you can use during your session, so you can focus on your therapy without worry. Avoid restrictive clothing like jeans to get the most out of your session.
