Frequently Asked Questions

  • 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.

  • 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.
  • 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.

Hear from patients that reclaimed their lives.

"Thank You," isn't enough to convey my gratefulness to each of you. I have observed and experienced your staff's dedication to your clients' well-being at every level of recovery. You really care about us, and it shows! I certainly hope not to darken your door anytime soon. But what a relief it is to my husband and me that when we need physical therapy again, you will be there for us!

Awesome, knowledgeable staff! It can be beyond frustrating to rehabilitate an injury, but this is definitely the place to do it! All in all, a great place and assuredly where I’ll be doing my rehab next time! If I could, I’d rate this place 10 or 11 stars, but I can only put 5.

My experience has been astounding. The entire staff is made up of professional individuals who want to make a positive impact on their patients, and every single team member is amiable. Before starting PT I wasn't sure if it was going to make a difference but now I see that there are certain conditions, like a torn meniscus, that can be treated with physical therapy and without surgery.

I just want to offer my thanks and appreciation to the staff of your Granbury location for the outstanding treatments and outcomes from my therapy. I have used them twice now for several months at a time for a knee and hip replacement. Whitni and Brandon were outstanding, knowledgeable, informative, and caring. Your receptionist there, Kalie, is awesome and friendly too. I am happy to recommend them!

SporTherapy Patient

My main therapist was John Nguyen who always helped me in ways I wasn't even aware I needed help! John personified professionalism and know-how. I cannot even begin to explain how much better I can walk and balance. I will not hesitate to recommend SporTherapy to anyone I encounter who needs physical therapy. Thank you for providing such an outstanding facility here in Weatherford.

SporTherapy Patient

My doctor said I could try physical therapy if I wanted for my broken ankle, but I would probably still need surgery. I am happy to say that the SporTherapy team did a wonderful job. I am at 100% and I DON'T need surgery. You guys ROCK!
