About Us

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I wear to my first appointment?

We want you to feel comfortable during your visit. We recommend wearing workout clothing or loose-fitting clothes that allow you to move freely. While it’s preferred, it’s not required to expose the skin in the area being treated. Our expert physical therapists may need to access your skin, muscles, and joints around the area of focus to effectively assess and treat your condition.

Is physical therapy painful?

We prioritize your well-being and work diligently to mitigate any pain you may be experiencing. Our physical therapists are here to alleviate discomfort and improve your overall function. You can expect our staff to continuously check in with you during each session to monitor your pain and ensure a comfortable experience.

How often will I come to physical therapy?

Your personalized treatment plan may span a duration of 1 to 2 months, depending on the specific needs of your condition. Most patients attend 1 to 3 visits per week at our clinic, where our physical therapists guide you through tailored exercises to regain your function. Simultaneously, you’ll also receive a personalized home exercise plan to further support your recovery journey.

What will I do after physical therapy?

Our ultimate goal is to help you regain your independence and return to your normal activities, whether they be day-to-day tasks, recreation, or sports. Your physical therapist will design a personalized home exercise plan that meets your specific needs. This plan can be carried out independently at home or in a gym setting, allowing you to confidently maintain the gains you’ve made during physical therapy.

What should I expect on my first visit?

During your first visit to Moses Lake Sports Physical Therapy, a licensed physical therapist will take the time to understand your medical history and screen your specific injury or ailment. We will also conduct baseline measurements of your strength, flexibility, and mobility to better determine a personalized plan of care that meets your unique needs and goals. In many cases, a brief treatment session will be provided on your first visit.

How long does each visit take?

Typically, appointments range from 45 to 60 minutes to ensure we dedicate ample time to your care. However, please note that in certain situations, appointments can last up to 90 minutes.

How is my progress measured?

We meticulously track your progress starting with an initial evaluation where our physical therapists assess your baseline function and gather important data. Throughout your treatment, we closely monitor and evaluate your progress, providing regular feedback. Midway through your care plan, your therapist will re-assess your function, update goals, and share progress reports with your referring physician. As you approach the end of your care, another assessment will be conducted, along with a comprehensive note to your doctor.

Do I really have to do home exercises?

While therapy sessions may be scheduled a few times a week, the commitment to progress extends beyond our clinic walls. Engaging in daily stretching and strengthening exercises is vital to sustain and enhance your improvement. Simply attending therapy appointments may not suffice to meet your recovery goals; therefore, the inclusion of home exercises is essential.
