You’re ready to schedule an appointment with us. Fabulous! We already cannot wait to see you and help you get back to your full function. Here at Functionize, we are not fans of surprises (unless there’s cake...), so here is what you can expect from your first consultation with us.

 

We recommend coming in activewear or something you are comfortable stretching and moving around in because, well, you will be moving. Close-toed shoes are our top choice.  

 

If your appointment revolves around something sport-specific, such as running or swimming, then be sure to bring the gear you like to train in. 

 

Upon arrival, you will be greeted by a member of the Functionize team who will be with you, one-on-one, for the duration of your appointment. Rest assured, you will not be abandoned on a stationary bike or left to your own devices with stretchy bands at any point.

 

We like to start these consultations with some good, old fashioned conversation - we will cover your injury or limitation, medical history, any of your questions or concerns, and, most importantly, your motivations and goals. 

 

From there, we will segue into your evaluation in which your Functionize physical therapist will gently move through diagnostics – keeping an open dialogue the whole time so you understand what’s happening and why.

 

If there are any services we can perform the day of to relieve your pain and discomfort, such as dry needling or soft tissue mobilization, we will be sure to do so during your appointment.   

 

Keep in mind, the focus of this evaluation is not to jump to a conclusion or a diagnosis – we are getting to know each other. We do promise, however, that your appointment will end with a unique care plan for getting you back to living your best, active life. 

​

If you decide to continue working with Functionize, you will understand exactly what that will entail regarding timeline and cost.

 

Again, we don’t like surprises. Especially when it comes to your care. If you have any questions before your physical therapy appointment, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
