Physical Therapy Patient Education
At your first appointment, your Physical Therapist will perform a thorough evaluation and develop a personalized rehabilitation treatment program with you that may include Patient Education.
What is Patient Education?
Patient education includes providing information about your condition and treatment options and identifying and modifying any factors or activities causing your pain. Instructing you in home pain/swelling management and a home exercise program will help you maintain gains in motion and strength.
Benefits of Patient Education:
- Improved understanding of medical condition and impairments
- Better patient understanding of how to manage self-care
- Increased adherence and compliance with recommended treatment plan
- Patients more likely to have fewer complications
- Patients provided the information they need for informed consent
What Is the First Step?
Start By Scheduling an Evaluation Appointment.
Don't Wait - Get Started Right Now!
Clinical research shows that the sooner you get started with active rehabilitation, the less likely you will need unnecessary tests, medications, or surgery.
At your evaluation appointment, you will meet with a physical therapist who will perform a thorough evaluation that includes:
- A review of your health history and your specific symptoms.
- A thorough examination that includes assessing the quality and quantity of your movements, and any factors that might put you at risk for delayed recovery or might indicate a serious health problem.
- Assessment of how you use your body at work, at home, during sports, and at leisure.
- Determination of the diagnosis and impairments that are causing your pain and establishment of a treatment plan of care.

What Our Clients Say
i am so happy that lucas has been my therapist. i was in so much debilitating pain. within a week of starting therapy, my symptoms started to subside and in a month i was pain free. he understood when i told him that i needed to go slowly even tho i was progressing fast. after all i am 79. what i liked most about him is that he LISTENS to my feedback and then chose appropriate stretches and explained what they were helping- to get me where i needed to be. things i couldnt do at all in the beginning, i can now do easily and without pain. lucas is INSIGHTFUL and understanding of a persons limits and i think his greatest point is that he actually LISTENS to feedback. he surely is a gem!!!! I’ve had a lot of PT over many years and never have I worked with a more knowledgeable and talented team of therapists. After 20+ years and a half dozen surgeries I am near pain-free thanks to one excellent surgeon and three outstanding PT professionals. Steve, Sarah and Mike are patient, persistent, motivating and encouraging; and Lisa is kind and effective at keeping up the business end. On top of all that they’re just great folks. For me PT always fell somewhere between a bore and chore, whereas SEPT was very nearly the social event of the week. Don’t get me wrong – it’s still PT and it’s still tough – but they’ll strive to make it a positive experience. In summary: If I ever need PT again, I’ll get it here if I have to drive 100 miles to do it.
