March 28, 20232 min read

Finding the right physical therapist can make all the difference in your recovery journey. With so many professionals to choose from, it can be challenging to know where to start. In this blog post, we'll provide a step-by-step guide to help you select the ideal physical therapist for your specific needs and goals.

  1. Understanding the Different Types of Physical Therapists:

    • Orthopedic Physical Therapists: specialize in treating musculoskeletal injuries and conditions

    • Neurological Physical Therapists: focus on neurological disorders and conditions, such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis

    • Geriatric Physical Therapists: work with older adults to address age-related issues and improve overall functional abilities

    • Pediatric Physical Therapists: specialize in treating children and adolescents with various conditions or developmental challenges

  2. Identifying Your Needs and Goals:

    • Clearly define your goals, such as reducing pain, improving mobility, or increasing strength

    • Discuss your medical history and any existing conditions with potential physical therapists

    • Consider any special requirements, such as a therapist who speaks your language or has experience with a specific condition

  3. Seeking Recommendations and Referrals:

    • Ask your primary care physician for recommendations

    • Reach out to friends, family, or coworkers who have undergone physical therapy

    • Browse online directories and reviews to gather more options

  4. Researching and Comparing Potential Physical Therapists:

    • Visit each therapist's website to learn about their services and expertise

    • Read patient testimonials and reviews

    • Look for any articles or publications they have contributed to, showcasing their knowledge and experience

  5. Evaluating Credentials and Experience:

    • Ensure the therapist is licensed and board-certified in your state

    • Check for any additional certifications or specializations relevant to your needs

    • Inquire about their years of experience and their success rate with patients who have similar conditions

  6. Scheduling a Consultation:

    • Schedule an initial consultation to discuss your needs and goals

    • Use this opportunity to ask questions and get a feel for the therapist's approach

  7. Assessing Communication and Rapport:

    • Ensure the therapist listens to your concerns and communicates clearly

    • Evaluate whether you feel comfortable discussing your condition and goals with them

    • Consider if their treatment approach aligns with your preferences

  8. Considering Location and Availability:

    • Choose a therapist with a convenient location to make attending appointments easier

    • Inquire about appointment availability and flexibility, ensuring it fits into your schedule

  9. Reviewing Insurance and Payment Options:

    • Verify if the therapist accepts your insurance plan or offers any payment plans

    • Inquire about any out-of-pocket costs, copays, or deductibles

Choosing the right physical therapist is a crucial step in your recovery journey. By following our comprehensive guide, you can find the perfect professional who meets your individual needs and goals, helping you regain strength, mobility, and independence.

Dr. Jaclyn

I love being a physical therapist because I enjoy helping people get to their maximal potential especially when they have to see so many other healthcare providers and are looking for someone to bring them hope in a realistic fashion, just like my physical therapist did for me.

Client Testimonials

I have been going to Let’s Move Physical Therapy and I have never felt like my care was as important until coming here. Dr. Rabito is very personable and is vested in her patient's care. I recommend her as she listens to what is going on with you and works to get you where you need to be!

Jaclyn is amazing and sets my standard for a good physical therapist. She genuinely cares and is excellent at finding exercises that actually work for each individual rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
