What Are YOUR Physical Therapy Goals?

What do you want to accomplish with Physical Therapy? What are your goals? It’s the first question I ask all my patients during their initial Physical Therapy visit. It sounds so simple, but you’d be surprised by the number of confused looks I get whenever I ask this question. It just doesn’t seem to dawn on a lot of patients. However, to me, the answer provides the basis for how I fashion a Physical Therapy rehabilitation program.
