Patient Information

We want your first encounter to instill confidence in your choice of treatment facilities. At Augusta Physical Therapy, our competent staff genuinely cares about your recovery.

We listen - We hear your desire for continuity of care. You will see the same therapist for each visit from evaluation to discharge. Our therapists value your input in developing your plan of care.

We explain - During your first visit, we will begin teaching you about your specific diagnosis. As you progress in the program you’ll gain a basic understanding of your condition, our treatment interventions, and precautions to best manage your care at home.

Friendly, comfortable office - We make it easy for you, providing an evaluation appointment within 24 hours, appointment reminders, and simple forms. You will be treated in a relaxed and comfortable environment. Our office is wheelchair accessible.

Private treatment rooms - Ours are designed to ensure your comfort and safety with soft lighting, relaxing music, and a call bell with intercom.

Customized plan of care - Using this individualized information in developing your treatment plan, we provide strategies to assist in recovery as well as preventing further disability and pain.  Often consideration of the work environment through ergonomic assessment is crucial in resolving postural issues, overuse injuries, and inadequate work stations that interfere with your ability to perform required duties.

Individualized Home Program - During the course of your treatment, you will receive an individualized home program designed to assist in your recovery. It may consist of strengthening, stretching, coordination and endurance exercises, as well as, self mobilization, back care, and positioning techniques. For example, many physicians refer arthritic clients for therapy.  Due to the chronic nature of this condition, it is important to provide written home exercises to best address the limitations in flexibility and strength.  Frequently, we only need to see these clients for 1-3 visits, managing the acute pain, and discharging them on a long-term home program.

We bill your insurance company - We bill all major insurance companies and accept major credit cards and personal checks. Co-payments, as required by your insurance program, are due upon receipt of service.

Robin and Alan, the owners, have a combined 40 years of experience as therapists. To ensure the quality of your care, our staff is licensed and regularly attends continuing education courses.
