What Is Physical Therapy?
It all starts with an evaluation. The therapist spends your first visit, approximately one hour, interviewing you, establishing goals, testing and examining your condition and setting up a treatment plan. The therapist teaches you about your condition and reassures you about what to expect in the recovery process. Some form of treatment is always included in the first visit.
Subsequent treatment sessions systematically fix the injuries, movement disorders and pain that brought you in the door in the first place. The key tool of the therapist is his / her hands-on techniques to stretch and mobilize stiff, misaligned and restricted areas of your body. Once mobility is improved, then exercises are used to improve strength, balance and function. Injured athletes looking to return to sports do sports specific training under the watchful eye of the therapist.
Who Are Physical Therapists?
Physical therapists (PTs) are specialists in restoring movement. PTs receive intensive education in anatomy, physiology, pathology and rehabilitation. It is among the fastest growing professions because of the value PTs provide for our increasingly active society. All PTs are graduates of accredited university programs and licensed by the state in which they work, many of whom hold a doctorate degree in Physical therapy.

Direct Access
Get the relief and recovery you need NOW!
Access to physical therapy does not require a prescription from your physician. DIRECT ACCESS (DA) allows you to see a certified physical therapist immediately so you get the treatment you need, when you need it.
Save time and money: get better, faster!
Simply stated, the sooner an injury is treated, the quicker the recovery. Waiting for an appointment with a physician can impede the healing process because effective treatment is delayed. Injured muscles and joints get stiff, weak and scar tissues can develop. More importantly, you are not able to do the activities you want to do. At Ally Physical Therapy, we have at least one DA certified therapist. Our DA certified therapists are qualified to evaluate your condition and begin the much needed treatment immediately.
