What should I do to prepare for my first PT appointment?

  • Please arrive 15 minutes early for your first appointment.
  • Bring a copy of your insurance card and a photo ID with you.
  • Please call our office at 781-797-0844 to verify your insurance benefits beforehand.
  • Have in writing key past medical history, previous treatments, current medications, and other important information.
  • List out signs and symptoms that can be of importance to the therapist. What has been hurting or bothering you? For how long?
  • It’s a good idea to make a list of questions that you have to discuss on your first visit.

What can I expect from my first PT visit?

  • Upon your arrival at our office, you will register at our front office. They will help you with the insurance and treatment process so that you can focus on having the best recovery possible.
  • Next, our physical therapist will meet you for your initial assessment. They will ask questions about your medical history, current pain, or injury during your assessment. Try to be as honest as you can; open communication helps us to understand your problem better!
  • Your movement, strength, coordination, and much more will be assessed during your appointment. Our goal is to help you, so please make sure that you communicate with our therapist if anything hurts or bothers you during the examination!
  • Our physical therapist will recommend and prepare a customized course of treatment to ensure the quickest recovery and the best results. Some treatments will be performed on the first day to get you started on the road to recovery. However, you will get to the full swing of your treatment plan during the next visit.
  • After your therapist has finished, you will schedule a series of visits at the front desk. The amount of therapy needed will be dependent upon the advice of your therapist, and will also be discussed with you at your first visit.
  • Your therapist will write their findings and plan for treatment to be submitted to your referring physician or any other medical professional you choose.

We offer a lot of convenient appointment times, but prime times can be busy, so it’s best to book ahead as much as possible.

If you have any questions at any time, please do not hesitate to call. We want to ensure you are satisfied and have a complete recovery.

OUR SUCCESS STORIES

  • "I am so impressed with Step Ahead PT in general and Becky specifically. These guy treat you for a full hour for the same price (unlike 30 minutes at other place, sometimes even 2 people in those 30 minutes). They had informed me that my tendonitis will take 2-2.5 months and that is exactly the amount of time it took for me to start feeling better. I absolutely love it and will be coming here for all my PT needs."
    Spandan S.
  • "Andy is the BEST! I have had chronic hamstring issues for decades. It affected my knee and hip as well. I have tried different therapies for many years and I had pretty much given up thinking I will never be able to jog again or be without pain. I recently had knee surgery and then through a friend I was lucky enough to find Andy!"
    T.H.
  • "Step Ahead PT in Marblehead is a wonderful facility with expert therapy. I have been going there off and on for years for back and hip ailments. Andy is the best. He has over 20 years experience with therapy and is always right on with his observations, evaluations, course of therapy and at home routines that will help and cure your aches and pains."
    Jacqueline R.
  • "I recently underwent knee replacement surgery. Andy has been extremely helpful with my rehabilitation. His expertise has enabled me to heal much quicker than I had expected. I most definitely recommend Andy for any Physical Therapy that one requires."
    Jackie P.
  • "Andy draws on his vast experience and knowledge, which includes cutting edge techniques. He is personable, has a great bedside manner, and he truly cares and takes pride in his work. I always looked forward to my PT sessions, which have recently ended. I am now recovered from acute on chronic neck and shoulder issues, and my quality of life is better than I hoped for. Thank you, Andy!"
    Eric F.
  • "I have seen Andy for several different injuries throughout my high school and collegiate basketball career. He has helped me get through every single one— from back pain/stress fracture/spasms, chronic ankle pain, hip flexor issues, and a broken ankle. With a combination of hands-on treatment, to providing exercises and protocols to follow, to helping you find the perfect way to smoothly get back to activity, Andy will successfully help you get back to feeling 100% and back to your daily activities."
    Emily F.
  • "I’ve spent several decades in front of a computer, which can cause many issues. I’ve been working with Andy for a couple of years now, and his PT has really helped me reduce the pain and discomfort in my shoulders/back and hands. He’s a kind person too, and that goes a long way in this crazy, fast-paced world!"
    Carrie T.
  • "This is the best PT practice I’ve experienced. The therapists are hands on and completely focused on outcome. The environment is very personalized so if your tired of being treated as simply a number or if you are looking to return to or continue an active lifestyle, you need to come see Andy and his team."
    Al Wilson
  • "I discovered Step Ahead PT through a yelp recommendation, and have not been disappointed. I was in a serious car accident in November, and by January I was back to my intense workouts under the guidance of Andy (Owner of Step Ahead). Each session was tailored specifically for me and around getting me back into my pre- accident strength."
