Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect on my first visit to Tina L Baum Physical Therapy?

Please arrive 30 minute prior to your evaluation in order to complete the appropriate paper work. You may also complete the paperwork at your convenience by downloading New Patient Paperwork. Please arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your appointment if your paperwork was completed ahead of time. Our office staff will review your physical therapy benefits. You will then be evaluated by one of our licensed physical therapists. Your evaluation will be a one-on-one session in which the clinician will perform a thorough exam, noting any areas of difficulty or limitation relating to your problem or complaint. Based on this evaluation, we will review our recommended plan of care based on our findings and the diagnosis supplied by your physician. At this time, we will answer any questions that you may have. You will be issued a home exercise program that is individually prescribed by your clinician for you.

What should I bring on my first visit?

You should wear or bring comfortable workout clothes (including shoes and socks), your prescription from your physician, your insurance card and your co-pay/deductible if applicable.

How long will my visit take?

The first visit usually takes 1 to 1.5 hours. Follow-ups generally take 45 minutes to 1 hour. It is common for patients to come 2-3x/wk for 3-6 weeks. Frequency and duration vary greatly with the diagnosis, chronicity of the problem and compliance with recommended home program. Your physical therapist will review the estimated frequency and duration of your visits.
