Your First Visit
A clear starting point. A plan built around you. Here’s how to prepare for your first appointment at Greenbelt Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine.
Before You Arrive
Let’s Make Your First Step Easier.
Call our team to discuss an evaluation, the reason for your visit, and any referral, insurance, or claim requirements. Confirm the arrangements before attending so you know which documents are needed.
Please arrive 15 minutes early for check-in and required paperwork. Wear comfortable clothing that allows movement and access to the area being evaluated.

Your Evaluation, Step by Step.
2. Assess Your Movement
Your therapist examines the abilities relevant to your concerns, which may include motion, strength, balance, walking, or functional tasks. Testing is selected for your condition and respects your precautions.
3. Build Your Plan
Discuss the findings, recommended approach, and realistic functional goals. Ask how visits may be scheduled, what to practice at home, and how progress will be reviewed. Treatment may begin when appropriate.
After Your First Visit
Follow the instructions provided for your own home program, and ask for clarification before trying an unfamiliar exercise. Share new symptoms, changes in medical restrictions, or barriers to attending so your therapist can adjust the plan.
