Annual Check-up

 

The annual check-up by a physical therapist is different than the one you have with your family physician in that no lab test or xray will be ordered. The focus is on your physical wellness and fitness, as well as for prevention of musculoskeletal injury. The checkup may generally take an hour. Its elements include taking a personal health profile, a disease risk profile, a standard physical examination and a physical performance examination. The checkup will conclude with a health risk evaluation report, a personal wellness plan and exercise prescription.
