At Oakland Physical Therapy we do our best to see every patient on time, especially for the initial
evaluation. This visit will consist of one-on-one time with the physical therapist, in which the therapist
reviews your medical history, current problems and complaints, your functional limitations and what your
goals are for Physical Therapy. After your meeting with the therapist, your first therapy session will begin
with the use of modalities (ex. hot packs and electric stimulation), hands on treatment by the therapist and
then an individualized exercise program will be designed and carried out in our gym. On average, the initial
evaluation lasts about 90 minutes.
To help save time, please fill out the patient intake forms below and bring them with you for your first visit. We ask that you arrive 15 minutes early for your first visit so we can make sure that all of your forms are completed properly and have all of your information together before your scheduled appointment time.
