What a visit looks like
What we do
Your therapist looks at how you walk and what you wear, treats stiff joints by hand and builds strength and balance in the foot, ankle and hip.
What decides how many visits
What your therapist finds, what your physician's plan says, what you need to be able to do again and how you respond. Your therapist talks it through with you.
Who treats you
A physical therapist, and sometimes a physical therapist assistant under their direction. Your first visit is about an hour.

Questions about this care
Do I need special shoes?
Your therapist looks at your shoes and how you walk and suggests changes. If something else is needed, we say so and tell your doctor's office.
Can I come after a cast or boot comes off?
Yes, with your doctor's go-ahead. We follow the plan your doctor's office sends.
