How early should I arrive?
To make the process easier, you will receive a link via email to complete the intake paperwork from the comfort of your home. This can be done on your phone or computer. If you are unable to do so, please arrive 15 minutes prior to your first visit to complete the forms.
What should I wear?
Please wear comfortable clothes that allow for movement, such as gym attire or loose clothing, and clothing that will allow you to expose the area of your complaint. Shorts for lower extremity issues are helpful. For spinal issues sport bras or tank tops for female patients help us visualize and palpate the spine during the exam.
What should I bring?
Prescription from your healthcare provider if you received one, and any other reports. If you have braces, splints, or crutches, please bring them as well.
What can I expect at my first appointment?
During your first appointment a comprehensive evaluation will be performed to establish a course of treatment. The evaluation will be followed by a treatment session. The entire appointment should take about 1.5 hours.

Do I need a referral from my physician to schedule an appointment?
No. On January 1, 2014, a new California law was enacted which allows California consumers direct access to physical therapists. Direct Access is your ability to be evaluated and treated by a licensed Physical Therapist without first seeing your physician for a referral. There are some limits with this legislation:
If direct physical therapy care is to exceed 45 days or 12 visits, whichever comes first, you must be referred (e.g., to a medical doctor) for a medical diagnosis. If you’ve already been referred, please schedule an appointment here.
Who will be in charge of my treatment?
To ensure that you receive the consistent, quality care you deserve, you will be seen by the same expert therapist throughout the course of your treatment.
