Annual Physical Therapy Checkup: Your Path to Proactive Healthcare

Don’t wait until pain or injury slows you down. Prioritize your health with an annual physical therapy checkup—designed to detect issues early, improve mobility, and keep you pain-free.

What is an Annual Physical Therapy Checkup?

An annual checkup with a physical therapist is a proactive approach to maintaining optimal health and mobility, similar to regular maintenance for your car or dental visits.

The team at Orthopedic Physical Therapy, Inc. is committed to providing comprehensive preventive care. Our physical therapists have the education, experience, and expertise necessary to perform thorough health screenings that track your physical condition over time. As healthcare continues to evolve toward prevention rather than just treatment, we’re here to keep you moving at your best.

Regular physical therapy checkups help identify potential issues before they become problems. By addressing the source of potential pain or dysfunction early, we can help prevent more serious conditions from developing. Our preventive approach focuses on maintaining and improving your functional mobility rather than just treating symptoms after they appear.

Success Stories

Dr. Adler and her staff are amazing!!! I’d been coping with neck, shoulder, back, and leg pain stemming from a MVA, and was referred to Dr. Adler by my primary care doctor. After the first dry needling appointment, I experienced pain relief that I hadn’t felt in years. With each subsequent visit, my pain levels have decreased. Now after 5 visits, I feel like a different person. Dr. Adler is incredibly knowledgeable about the human body and so very personable. Like she really knows her stuff!!! I will never be able to thank her enough and am forever grateful to her. I strongly recommend her and her staff. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment. You will not regret it!

After suffering from sciatica for over five years, I finally found the answer to my prayers! With the expertise of Dr. Tracey Adler, along with trigger point dry needling, I am now free of my debilitating pain. It is with appreciation that I have returned to my normal life and activities, including yoga classes, work, and walking everyday. Thank you OPT Inc!
