The location (virtual or in-person) of the evaluation or treatment session is up to the discretion of the physical therapist and the patient. During the evaluation, the physical therapist will ask important questions regarding symptoms and cause of injury, they will then perform a series of movement assessments and determine a proper plan of care. This plan will include a customized home exercise program. Based on the patient’s presentation and access to healthcare, the therapist will help the patient navigate the appropriate path to recovery providing them with the necessary tools for a successful recovery.
