Shoulder Pain PT FAQs
Common questions about our Saratoga Springs practice
-
No! New York has direct access laws, which means you can see a physical therapist without a physician referral. At Drive Physical Therapy, our Doctors of Physical Therapy can evaluate and treat your shoulder pain immediately. If we determine you need additional medical intervention, we'll coordinate with your physician.
-
Every session at Drive Physical Therapy is a full 60 minutes of one-on-one care with your Doctor of Physical Therapy. Unlike traditional clinics where therapists juggle multiple patients, you receive our undivided attention for the entire hour, ensuring comprehensive treatment and faster results.
-
Wear comfortable, athletic clothing that allows easy access to your shoulder. A tank top or loose-fitting t-shirt is ideal. Since we perform a full-body assessment to identify the root cause of your shoulder pain, wear shorts or athletic pants that allow us to assess your movement patterns.
