At Avondale Physical Therapy, the first visit is designed to be comfortable, welcoming, and focused on the patient’s needs. The session begins with a conversation where the therapist asks about the patient’s pain, daily challenges, and personal goals. Whether someone wants to return to sports, travel, or simply move without discomfort, the therapist makes sure those goals shape the plan of care.
After listening to the patient’s story, the therapist performs a movement assessment. This might include checking posture, flexibility, strength, and balance. These simple tests help uncover the root of the problem rather than just treating the symptoms. Every step is explained clearly, so the patient understands what’s happening and why.
Avondale Physical Therapy typically begins therapy right away during the first session. Patients leave with a clear plan, practical exercises, and the confidence that they’ve taken the first real step toward recovery. The goal is always to make progress from day one, not weeks later.
