Your first visit with a Physical Therapist to evaluate a specific condition is called an “Initial PT Evaluation” or “Eval”.  You can be referred by another Physician or decide to come in on your own or “Self-Refer”.  This is called Direct Access and is allowed in all 50 US states as of 2019, making Physical Therapy a first choice option for musculoskeletal (MSK) health issues!  Before your initial eval, you will be asked to provide your medical history which you will review with your PT during your eval.  You will receive some level of treatment, and be provided with i) a home exercise program and ii) a “plan of care” for future visits including frequency and duration.

Therapydia has a unique focus on prevention and performance. Our mission includes attention to your longevity, vitality and happiness.  Baseline Screens are intended for the healthy population, so are appropriate for individuals who do not yet need PT or who have graduated from PT.  Our proprietary software and patient portal, PTanywhere, allows us to establish a baseline score for your musculoskeletal fitness so you can compare your progress over time, and compare yourself across demographics.  We offer a variety of screens so that we can find the one that is the most appropriate for you and your goals.  All Baseline Screens are comprised of standardized 10 tests, scored from 0-10, for a maximum score of 100. Your screen comes with a home exercise program for targeting any tests where your score was not optimal with the goal of improving your score at your next screen.  Subsequent screens can be performed annually or more frequently for athletes or high stress job functions.  For more information about PTanywhere Baseline Screening for employers, schools and other large groups, click “Learn More” below.
