Welcome to Seva Physical Therapy & Wellness Clinic

The First Appointment: Getting Ready

• Please arrive 15 minutes early for your first appointment so that you can check-in and change if necessary.
• It is best to arrive with a loose fitting shirt and shorts. You should also bring your glasses, orthotics, and oral appliance if you wear them.
• Make a list of questions you want to ask during your initial evaluation.

• You may also call our office ahead of time at (332) 203-4614 to confirm your insurance benefits.
• Get ready to discuss your medical history, previous treatments, current medications, and other relevant information.
• Make a list of any symptoms or warning signs that the therapist should be aware of. What recently irritated or hurt you? How long have you been dealing with the issue? What things can you not do anymore because of your pain or injury?

What to Expect During the First Appointment

• You will register at the front desk when you arrive at our office. We’ll need your insurance information as well as any other paperwork you’ve brought with you (i.e., referral, X-ray or MRI report, other medical reports).
• You will be evaluated by one of our physical therapists. The therapists conduct a thorough assessment that includes your previous medical history as well as your current pain, illness, or injury. Having an open and honest conversation with us is critical to our ability to assist you.
• Our physical therapist will assess your range of motion, strength, and movement patterns during your appointment. Based on the results of your evaluation, our physical therapist will develop a treatment plan for you. During the first day, you will most likely receive a complete explanation of why you feel the way you do. In addition, you will likely receive some treatments to alleviate any pain. Each subsequent therapy session will build on the initial evaluation to maximize impact.
• Our physical therapist will document their findings and treatment plan, which can be provided to any medical expert that you choose.
• Our therapist will discuss your goals during your first session. This will be based on sound reasoning and clinical experience and will determine how long and how frequently you should attend our physical therapy sessions.
• You will schedule the remainder of your appointments at the front desk before you leave your initial appointment.
• If you have questions, please contact us at any time. We want to make sure you are as comfortable as possible during your recovery.
