Our Services
Assessment - 50 minutes
Your first appointment will start with a detailed history. You will be asked a multitude of questions including details surrounding previous injuries, illnesses, stress levels, quality of sleep and overall health. Frequently, the presenting concern that brought you to us is not the root cause of the problem; sometimes it's just the straw that broke the camel's back or the area that is expressing discomfort due to another area's lack of mobility. The questions we will ask help to guide our physical assessment. Following our history conversation, you will be taken through various movements as well as various strength tests to give us the information we need to make the most effective treatment plan for your specific needs.
Treatment - 50 minutes
All appointments following your assessment will start with a brief conversation regarding changes you have noticed or anything new that has appeared since the last appointment. There will be a physical assessment to see the changes that have occurred and then we will carry out a treatment plan based on the findings. Each treatment plan will be different and dependent on both the follow up conversation and the physical assessment completed.
We will be sure to send you home with some home care instructions to allow you to actively participate in your recovery.
Billing
At Trippier Therapy Services we do not believe in charging an increased fee for the assessment compared to the treatment. We believe that the assessment is an integral part of our process and the treatment is the actions as a result of the assessment. One cannot function without the other, and thus they are equally valued.
Insurance
Most insurance companies now cover Athletic Therapy. We are currently unable to direct bill as an Athletic Therapist however, we recommend you contact your insurance company to determine your eligibility for Athletic Therapy Coverage.
