Frequently Asked Questions

  • A physical therapy visit lasts about 40-60 minutes. The actual contents of the visit vary based on your diagnosis/need, but typically what happens is:

    1. You check in with the receptionist, make any appointments necessary, and we discuss your health insurance benefits with you.
    2. You go into the gym. You can change clothes if you need to, then begin therapy.
    3. You perform 6-8 various exercises and stretches. These can include therapeutic band exercises, light body weight exercises, or minimal weights. The stretches will promote strength, stability, improved range of motion, and pain relief.
    4. We can initiate other techniques to include manual work, taping, cupping, and dry needling as needed.
    5. The therapist makes recommendations based on your progress. These can include altering the frequency of visits, making additions/alterations to your home exercise plan, or things to do before your next visit.
  • We recommend budgeting 40-60 minutes for a typical therapy session. The only exception to this will be your first visit, which can take about 20 minutes longer due to the physical therapy evaluation your therapist will provide. We also recommend showing up about 10-15 minutes early to your first visit. This way, you can complete the paperwork before your visit time and streamline the process.

  • If we are asking you to do something that is hurting too much, let us know! Physical therapy should not be severely painful. It is not common to be so sore that patients are in pain or it affects their daily life. If this ever happens during or after an appointment, let us know and we will adapt your program.

  • During your initial evaluation, your therapist may ask you a number of questions to determine what the cause of your pain is. This can include questions about your sleep habits, activity level, and work environment. They will also ask for a medical history, and then typically ask direct questions about where and when you experience pain.

I have chosen EPPTS for each of my four therapeutic need treatments. The front office staff is “Top Notch”; i.e., Friendly, Personable and Professional. It is like the TV series Cheers, where everyone knows your name. The clinical staff is also “The Best”! Everyone, not just the therapist, greets you, calls you by name, and sincerely come across as caring for you as an individual; not just one patient of many.

El Paso PTS Patient

When I was told by my Doctor that I needed Physical Therapy for knee problems, the first feeling I had was dread at the prospect of going through anything that made my knees hurt more, and also that I had to spend time doing. From the time I walk in to their office for a session, I am greeted by name and a nice smile, to the time I finish the session; the attention and care received is outstanding.
