 FAQS

  • Physical therapy at ADAPT starts with a subjective intake of your injury history and goals moving forward. From there we’ll evaluate your body and create a plan that takes you from where you’re at now to where you want to go. Evaluation includes range of motion and movement assessment. Everyone has different goals, let us help you achieve them.

  • Yes, we are in-network with the following insurances: Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, and United. If your insurance is not listed, we aren’t in network, but you may be able to use your out of network benefits.

  • You don’t. For those with insurance, most plans don’t require referral as Georgia is a direct access state for physical therapy.

  • Each session is typically about an hour, but depends on the needs of your treatment. Your therapist and/or coach will set the expectations during your initial visit.

  • Absolutely. Not all PT is the same and not all PT chooses to take a holistic viewpoint when assessing injuries. Working on the body as a whole and not just focusing on the site of pain is important to helping you overcome injury/pain.

  • MRI is short for magnetic resonance imaging. It’s noninvasive imaging that provides more detail than a standard x-ray. Just because you have pain or an injury, doesn’t necessarily mean you need an MRI or that an MRI will be helpful. For more information regarding your specific situation, please feel free to call us to chat or schedule your physical therapy session.

  • You should start to see positive results within the first 2 sessions of physical therapy. Positive results can be gauged by many factors including: decreased pain, improved flexibility/range of motion, and decreased hesitation to perform previously painful activities.

  • It all depends. We customize our physical therapy to the need of our clients. For those that are independent and will execute their physical therapy program on a consistent basis, less frequent check ins are possible (1x/week or 2x every other week). For those that require more supervision or like to be held accountable, multiple times/week may be beneficial. For post-surgical clients, multiple sessions/week are recommended.

  • Every physical therapist at ADAPT is also a strength and conditioning coach. The expertise of each individual comprises of post-operative cases, orthopedic conditions, sports performance, and more.
