What To Expect
Your Initial Evaluation
Visits will last approximately one hour, during which you will work only with your own personal therapist. Treatment may involve different types of massage, soft tissue work, joint mobilization, and exercise. Your therapist will answer all of your questions related to what activities you should or should not partake in during your rehabilitation. You may be given home exercises to assist you in working toward your treatment goals.

Your Treatment
At MTI, our treatment emphasis is on supervised exercise and education. The ultimate goal is for you to return to normal activities of daily living, work and participation in sports or recreational activities.

Our rehabilitation approach first focuses on decreasing pain, edema and muscle guarding to improve joint motion. As you improve, your exercise program will be progressed to fit your needs for coordination, retraining motor patterns, balance, endurance, speed and strength training. We can assist you with the transition from exercise for rehabilitation to exercise for health maintenance, weight loss, cardiovascular improvement, return to work and even high level athletic performance.

Insurance Coverage
Most insurance companies require a physician referral or prescription to cover services. Please check with your insurance company to determine your physical therapy benefits. Almost all insurance plans have physical therapy coverage.

We are preferred with the major insurance carriers:

  • Aetna
