Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Services
Physical therapy services at Active Edge Physical Therapy are cutting edge and evidence-based. Physical therapy and rehabilitation services are provided by physical therapists licensed with the State of Oregon. Therapy services will be in accordance with state law and the guidelines of the Oregon and American Physical Therapy Associations. Treatment will be based on medical necessity with a referral from a physician. Direct Access, an option based on your specific insurance, also allows for self-referral to physical therapy with therapy for sixty days prior to follow-up with a physician.
In keeping with the guidelines of the Guide to Physical Therapy Practice published by the APTA, patients will receive services including an Evaluation, Assessment and Treatment Plan. Upon completion of the Initial Evaluation the patient will have a physical therapy diagnosis and will have functional goals in place to direct physical therapy intervention. Therapeutic interventions may include a combination of manual treatments, physical exercise, patient education and physical modalities directed toward correcting the patient’s physical limitations. For a more detailed list of specific interventions see Physical Therapy Interventions in the Supporting Documents Appendix. Patient progress will be reassessed throughout therapy with physical testing of impairments, functional abilities and with self-report outcome questionnaires (see Outcome Questionnaires in the Supporting Documents Appendix).
