How Do I Pick the Right Physical Therapist?

Finding the right physical therapist is critical to the success of your healing. Whether you’ve been injured in a fall at work or home or a car accident, an injury that goes untreated can lead to complications and chronic pain for years to come. But just walking into the first physical therapist you find can be just as detrimental to your health. 

You want to ensure that the physical therapist you choose has the expertise, experience, and equipment to ensure that your healing process is optimized for the greatest success. At Impact Medical, we understand how important it is to have the right physical therapist to fit your specific needs. 

Today, we’ve put together a checklist of things to help you pick the right physical therapist to ensure you’re able to get back on your feet and live your life again as quickly and pain-free as possible. 

Ask for a Referral

Asking your primary care doctor for a referral can be one of the best ways to find a reputable, professional, and experienced physical therapist you can trust. You can also ask other friends, family, and coworkers who have gone through the same healing process and come out with excellent results. 

Do Your Research

Depending on the type of rehabilitation you need, you want to be sure that you take the time to research which physical therapy specialists have the kind of specialized services you need. From aquatic therapy to adaptive equipment and more, be sure you research your available options to find the right healing center for you. 

Understand What Your Insurance Covers

This is especially true if you’ve been injured in an auto accident or at work. So first, you want to understand everything that the insurance company will cover to ensure you’re paying the least amount of out-of-pocket expenses. Then, check with the physical therapist’s office to find out if they will accept your plan. 

Take Advantage of a Free Consultation

This is critical to your healing success because you want to know that the physical therapist you choose will be your partner throughout your entire healing process. Find someone with whom you have a good rapport and openly communicate about your options, what you’re going to work on together, and feel inspired to keep pushing through.
