Journey Welcomes New Patients!
We at Journey Physical Therapy want you to know what to expect on your first visit so that you have the best experience. To help serve you better we now have two office locations, Roscoe Village and Lake Forest, conveniently located so that we can help the community get back to their Journey. Our patient goals revolve around creating a personalized, practical, and understandable course of treatment for you.
What happens in my first visit?
The Initial Evaluation typically lasts 45 minutes. When you schedule your first visit don’t forget to bring your completed paperwork. For easy access we created a section on our website where you can download all forms, click here to access. During your initial evaluation, the following will be discussed with a physical therapist:
- Your medical history
- Your current problems/complaints
- Intensity of your symptoms and what aggravates and eases the problem
- How this is impacting or limiting your daily activities or everyday life
- Your goals with physical therapy
- Medications, tests, and procedures related to your health
Based on the objective information, your physical therapist will formulate a list of problems and how to treat them. A plan will be developed with the patient’s input, including home programs, patient education, short-term/long-term goals, and expectations after discharge from therapy.
If you schedule your first appointment online, you will complete the required forms online as part of the online scheduling process and will only need to download the “Patient Pain Diagram”.
*Please Note: We accept most health insurance, Medicare, worker’s comp, auto insurance and self-pay patients without insurance. If you have insurance, coverage will differ depending on your specific insurance plan.
