Q: Do I get to choose my physical therapist?
A: Yes! You have the right. Just as you would choose your doctor, based on word-of-mouth from friends or family, you can choose your physical therapist. Once decided on West Physical Therapy, PC, it is your option to select your personal physical therapist from any of those in our group. The therapist you choose will manage the great majority of your care. Your therapist will meet with you and direct you in your care and determine if other practitioner's input may also assist you in your healing.

Q: What should I wear for physical therapy treatment?
A: You should wear comfortable workout clothes and shoes that you will be able to move freely in. It is important that you wear loose-fitting clothing to enable the therapist to examine and treat the injured area. Please bring shorts if you have a lower extremity injury or a spine condition. Bring or wear any sport- or work-specific shoes.

Q: How can I set up an appointment with a physical therapist?
A: If you have a prescription from a physician for physical therapy, you should call us at (630) 466-5866 for the Sugar Grove office or (630) 262-2633 for the Geneva office and schedule an appointment. If you do not have a prescription but have a condition or pain that deserves attention, you should call one of our offices and schedule a consultation with a therapist. In the state of Illinois, physical therapists may evaluate a patient; however, a written diagnosis from a physician is needed in order to treat a condition. As we believe in early intervention, all attempts are made for you to be seen within 24 hours of your call.
