There’s a certain amount of time that is required for different types of tissues in the body to repair themselves. If you try to speed up the process, you could experience a re-injury. Allow our physical therapists in Alberquerque, NM to help you recover fully!

How much does physical therapy cost? Will my insurance pay for it?
The cost of therapy depends on the nature of your injury, the results of your initial evaluation, and what you want to accomplish. We can give you an estimate of the cost and length of treatment after you have come in for your initial evaluation.
A large number of insurance plans cover physical therapy treatment. Check with your insurance plan administrator or call our physical therapists in Alberquerque, NM to find out if physical therapy is covered by your insurance.
Is there any pain involved in the process?
Physical therapy shouldn't be a painful experience. It's important to communicate with your PT if you're experiencing pain. Pain is a signal. It's a communication technique that needs to be listened to. Part of the recovery process is listening to your body and understanding when to push forward and when to slow down. Our physical therapists in Albuquerque, NM will work with you to become independent and not reliant on us, medication, or other treatments.
What can I expect for my first session with Think Back Physical Therapy?
You'll meet with your physical therapist for about 60 minutes. During this time, we'll review your medical history, and perform a physical evaluation including strength, flexibility, gait, and postural training. We will palpate different tissues for swelling and pain. Our physical therapists in Albuquerque, NM will discuss these findings and outline a care plan for you.
What happens in a therapy session?
There’s always an element of patient education to help people discover what they are doing on a daily basis that could be contributing to their problems. During a PT session, the therapist usually applies hands-on techniques such as joint mobilization for a stiff joint, or soft-tissue work including stretching or massaging tight muscles. Some physical therapists also do manual manipulation, which uses careful, directed manual force to improve mobility in joints, connective tissue, or skeletal muscle. Our physical therapists in Albuquerque, NM will discuss additional modalities that may be helpful to your recovery.
