Stroke in Chubbuck

What to Expect from Physical Therapy After a Stroke

Physical therapy usually begins pretty quickly after the stroke, often even in the hospital. An experienced Chubbuck physical therapist will conduct an important evaluation to guide the treatment they prescribe after your stroke. Your physical therapist will conduct a thorough assessment that includes:

  • Taking a health history
  • Discussing your symptoms in detail
  • Detecting risk factors associated with the condition
  • Observing your ability to move, stand, walk and do other movements
  • Conducting a hands-on physical assessment
  • Developing a custom treatment in line with your goals, challenges and needs.

Great office staff and Physical therapists. It’s a kind and welcoming atmosphere and very aesthetically pleasing inside. I’ve enjoyed my sessions here. They help you work at your place and keep your safety in mind. I tend to over exert myself and they help me dial it back. I highly recommend this place
