Common FAQs
What is “Direct Referral” and how does it work?
In the past, you needed your primary care or another personal physician to recommend physical therapy based on their assessment. This could lead to increased wait times after injuries or other ailments before being able to start rehabilitation, which can lead to further injury or the need for longer treatment times.
Now, you can take advantage of the Direct Access services at Twin Boro Physical Therapy to schedule a Free Injury Screen directly with one of our physical therapists without the need for an appointment with your primary physician first. If your injury is within the scope of our care, we will develop a custom rehabilitation plan just for you. If it is not, we will refer you to a physician suited to your needs.
What are the most common physical therapy techniques?
Your physical therapy plan will be tailored to your exact needs, so the physical therapy techniques incorporated into your rehabilitation will be a unique combination decided by your physical therapist. However, common techniques that are likely to be incorporated into your plan include:
Rehabilitation Exercises: Specific exercises can be used to increase strength, correct muscular imbalances, reduce swelling, improve range-of-motion, relieve tension, reduce pain, and improve functionality, among many other benefits.
Manual Therapy: This includes hands-on exercises from your therapist involving strengthening exercises, muscle and soft tissue stretching, tension relief, and pain reduction exercises.
Ice and Heat Therapy: This combination has passed the test of time. Heat is applied to treat tightness and spasms, while ice reduces swelling and inflammation.
Ultrasound: By applying high-frequency sound waves to the skin, heat can be generated to underlying connective tissue and help relieve tension.
Laser: Low-level lasers can be applied to reduce pain, inflammation, muscle fatigue, and speed the healing process.
Electric Stimulation: By using electrical stimulation to contract the muscle, we can help restore the functionality of the muscle and speed recovery.
