Upon arriving for your first visit to Good Samaritan
Physical Therapy, a Physical Therapist will              
perform an initial evaluation of your problem or
difficulty. This includes taking a history of a problem
and then evaluating your problem by performing
tests and measures to assess the problem.
These tests include muscle strength tests, joint
motion tests, sensory and neurological tests,
coordination tests, balance tests, observation,
palpation, flexibility tests, postural screening,
movement analysis, and special tests designed
for a particular problem. We will also include your
medical history to ensure a thorough evaluation
and assessment.

A professionally trained Physical Therapist at
Good SamaritanPhysical Therapy will then develop
a treatment plan and goals and then administer the appropriate treatment to aid in the recovery of a
problem or dysfunction. Treatments include
patient education to teach you how deal with a
current problem and how to prevent the problem
from recurring in the future. A Physical Therapist
will monitor your progress, adjust treatments
and treatment goals, and offer status reports to
your medical practitioner as appropriate.
