What Your Initial Evaluation Does

When you meet with a member of our team for an initial evaluation, we will talk about your medical history and current problems you may be experiencing. Let us know about the level of pain you are suffering from and how this is impacting your daily activities. There are certain physical therapy tests that we may do during your evaluation, based on what physical ailments you are dealing with. When performing our Dripping Springs physical therapy services, we may do tests such as the following:

• Muscle Testing: your therapist will examine your muscles to assess the quality of your strength and contractions. We are looking to identify any areas of pain and weakness related to the contractions.
• Posture Assessment: your therapist will check the position of your joints compared to the ideal alignment.
• Palpitations: your therapist will gently touch the area where the pain is stemming from, to evaluate tenderness, swelling, inflammation, tissue temperature, soft tissue integrity, and more.
• Neurological Screening: your therapist may need to figure out how your nerves are communicating with the muscles, such as how they sense pain, touch, temperature, and vibration.
• Range of Motion (ROM): your therapist will move joints to determine movement quality and if there are any restrictions.
