Our therapists will provide you with instructions to join the meeting, and recommendations for next steps in your recovery and allow you to ask questions about your specific needs.

WHAT IS A SCREEN?

A screen is conducted by a Board-Certified or Doctorate-trained physical or occupational therapist, and will address your pain or injury.
During the screen, the PT/OT will ask about your condition, your previous level of function, and how the condition is affecting your life. For example, when and how did your problem begin? How often do the symptoms recur? What makes it better or worse? After that, the therapist may ask you to sit, stand, or move to point out where the pain occurs. Once your PT/OT gets a clear picture of your situation, you and the therapist will devise a plan for getting your physical therapy scheduled or for monitoring remotely.
The screen is conducted virtually through Microsoft TEAMS, an online video chat. Our team can walk you through TEAMS access over the phone if you have any questions. It’s also HIPAA compliant, so your private health information is secure.

Questions and Answers

Why should I use a Virtual Option for an Initial Screen?

Physical or occupational therapy is more effective, less invasive and less expensive than traditional health care treatment options.
Patients who get physical or occupational therapy right away are less likely to need specialist appointments, surgery, MRIs, and other expensive diagnostic procedures. And they spend less, an average of $4,500 less over the course of care.
Finally, physical or occupational therapy patients are less likely to need prescription pain killers.
The Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine found that PT/OT patients are 35% less likely to be prescribed opioids, even if they only come for one visit. Great news, since opioids are highly addictive and don’t treat pain – they only mask it.

Do I need to see a therapist in person?

We realize that our health equals our patients’ health- The risk of patients coming into our clinics is the risk of our own health. We wouldn’t put patients in harm’s way, just like we wouldn’t put our families in an unsafe environment.
PT/OT is the best choice for helping patients get out of pain, or to keep moving, and to keep patients from needing pain medications, surgery, or extensive imaging.
PT/OT also helps patients keep healthcare costs down and stay out of the doctor’s office, by keeping them from needing medications, surgery, or imaging.
The best PT/OT needs to be done in person. If PT/OT was just a bunch of exercises, a personal trainer or the gym staff could do it. Our Physical and Occupational therapists use the latest science and put their hands-on patients to diagnose and treat symptoms. They touch, educate, and counsel. They manipulate and mobilize joints and tissues.
