Do I need a referral to schedule a physical therapy appointment?

Yes, you need a referral from your physician to begin physical therapy. Talk to your doctor about your symptoms, challenges and goals. They can send a referral to an OhioHealth therapy location near you to get your care started.

What should I expect during my first physical therapy visit?

Your physical therapist will review your medical history, assess your mobility and discuss your recovery goals. We then create a personalized treatment plan to help you recover safely and build strength.

Who provides physical therapy at OhioHealth?

Our team includes licensed physical therapists and physical therapy assistants who specialize in movement disorders, injury recovery and chronic pain.

How long does a typical physical therapy program last?

The length of your treatment depends entirely on your specific injury or condition. Most patients attend sessions one to three times a week for a period of four to eight weeks. Your physical therapist will continually evaluate your progress and adjust your plan as you improve.
