初診須知
Your First Physical Therapy Session
提早到達
完成預約後，鉑適會提醒您比初診預約的時間早10-15分鐘到達，這是為了協助填寫您的個人資料和健康狀況表格，如果您希望可以事先完成這個步驟，可以在這裡填寫。
服裝準備
為了讓您有舒適的治療過程，鉑適希望您可以穿著或備著可完整露出患處的寬鬆服裝，以協助您的物理治療師更清楚評估您的症狀。因為運動訓練是鉑適提供有效治療的重要方式之一，一套運動服裝更能讓您完整體驗鉑適治療的效果。
治療過程
第一次的療程約為60分鐘，您的物理治療師會根據問診的結果作一系列仔細的評估，內容包括觸診、理學檢查和動作模式的診斷，以精確找到造成疼痛的原因。接下來，您的物理治療師會告訴您可能的病因，並提供解決方法和治療的方向。
初診之後？
您的物理治療師在初診後會與您討論整個療程的規劃和治療的目標。當然，因為病情程度的不同，需要的治療次數也不會相同。我們的治療通常包含兩到三個居家運動處方，以協助您更快回復健康。
收費方式
鉑適物理治療是一個全自費的物理治療所，我們不接受任何保險，但如果您有私人或工作保險需申請理賠，我們可以協助您開立需要的證明文件。我們也沒有信用卡刷卡的服務，須以現金或匯款方式付費，造成您的不便清見諒。
Arriving early
When you make your appointment, you will be asked to arrive to your first session about 10-15 minutes before the appointment begins. This is to allow time to fill out the health background paperwork that is necessary for your appointment. If you prefer to fill out the form in advance, you can find it HERE.
How to dress
We want you to be comfortable during your session. You can help by wearing clothing that is not only comfortable, but allows your physical therapist to access to the location of your pain. Therapeutic exercises are the main focus of our approach, so a set of work-out cloths is even better!
During the session
During your first session, you will be working face-to-face with your physical therapist for approximately 60 minutes. Your physical therapist will want to know more about the pain, discomfort or injury you are experiencing.
Next, your physical therapist will guide you through a series of movements and tests designed to evaluate your limitations and determine the precise cause and location of your pain.
Finally, your physical therapist will talk with you about a treatment approach to help you get back to your everyday life.
What’s next?
You will discuss and agree upon your treatment approach before moving forward. Because your treatment is customized to your problem, the approach and number of additional visits will vary. Often, treatment plans also include at-home exercise to help you get better.
We are a cash-based private practice, no insurance accepted. However, we can provide physical therapy documentations and invoices if needed for your insurance claim.
