Yes, once you have completed your therapy sessions, your therapist will review your continuing home program. We offer several wellness programs to fit your needs.

Physical therapists have years of university level training in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology (study of joint movement), neurology, and many of the other medical sciences. Many of our Physical Therapists are Doctors of Physical Therapy. Our Physical Therapists have graduated from accredited physical therapy programs and are state licensed. Depending on the university, the physical therapy program is either a masters or doctorate level degree. Rest assured, your therapist is well trained to evaluate and treat your condition.

How many sessions will I have?

STAR Physical Therapy - New Orleans East | Oct 8, 2021

Each patient’s diagnosis is different, so together with your referring physician, your therapist will develop a plan of care that is right for you. Your plan of care and number of visits will be determined during your first visit and explained to you by your physical therapist.

How long will my therapy sessions last?

Typically, the first session is scheduled for 1 hour. Each session after that may be 30-75 minutes. The amount of time will be based on your specific needs, and your therapist will discuss this with you.

What do I wear?

STAR Physical Therapy - New Orleans East | Oct 8, 2021
STAR Physical Therapy - New Orleans East | Oct 8, 2021

Dress comfortably with clothes that allow easy access for the therapist to examine your problem areas. For treatments, loose fitting clothes that are comfortable for gentle exercises and supportive sneakers are often good choices to wear.

What type of payment do you accept?

STAR Physical Therapy - New Orleans East | Oct 8, 2021

We accept cash, check, debit card, and credit card. Your insurance benefits will be determined before your second visit, and you will be informed of what, if any, payment is necessary on that date.

Does insurance cover my treatment?

STAR Physical Therapy - New Orleans East | Oct 8, 2021

Yes, in most cases it does. We always encourage you to check with your insurance provider for specific answers. We will be happy to assist you if you are unsure about the process. We are in network with almost every insurance company in Louisiana.

When will I feel better?

STAR Physical Therapy - New Orleans East | Oct 8, 2021
STAR Physical Therapy - New Orleans East | Oct 8, 2021

You may feel improvement right away. Our rule is that you need to be improving at least every two weeks. If ever you don’t progress over a 2 week period, we will talk with you about the possible benefit of being referred to another specialist.

Will it hurt?

STAR Physical Therapy - New Orleans East | Oct 8, 2021
STAR Physical Therapy - New Orleans East | Oct 8, 2021

Physical therapy is not meant to hurt, but to relieve pain. Normally there is no increase in pain. In fact most of our patients report some relief almost immediately. You might experience some temporary soreness from using muscles that are weakened or recovering. This is a normal response to therapy treatment. Good communication with your therapist will help minimize any discomfort. We want you on your way to quick pain relief and back to normal activities.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

STAR Physical Therapy - New Orleans East | Oct 8, 2021
STAR Physical Therapy - New Orleans East | Oct 8, 2021

1. Insurance information (we will make a copy of your card). 2. Photo ID. 3. If there is an automobile accident or worker’s compensation claim, also bring any case manager or insurance adjuster contact names, phone numbers, and claim number. Please arrive 15 minutes early to complete any remaining paperwork, so you can maximize your time in your evaluation. Please wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to your problem areas.

Can I go to any physical therapy I choose?

What is physical therapy?

STAR Physical Therapy - New Orleans East | Oct 8, 2021
STAR Physical Therapy - New Orleans East | Oct 8, 2021

Physical therapy is a medical, hands-on approach to relieving pain and restoring function. Physical therapists are medical experts in musculoskeletal and neurological conditions and work closely with physicians. Our physical therapists evaluate your movement patterns, identify the cause of your pain, and work to eliminate it. While every patient's condition and pain is unique, your physical therapist will use a variety of gentle hands-on techniques, exercises, and equipment to relieve pain quickly and restore your function to optimum levels. The overall goal is to restore pain-free mobility and function and to prevent the injury or pain from recurring.
