Services

Welcome to the Denise Alberto Physical Therapy Women's and Men's Health Programs. I am pleased you chose my services to meet your rehabilitative needs. I would like to outline some of the guidelines for your treatment and scheduling to better serve you as well as inform you on what to expect.

It is important to be on time for your scheduled appointment or call 24 hours in advance to make a schedule change. Please read my cancellation policy carefully.

I handle my own scheduling and will assist you in making your appointments. If possible I suggest you schedule all of your appointments after the first visit to find a time that works best for you. Hours are varied Monday through Friday.

Your appointment is usually 1 hour for both the evaluation and subsequent visits. I ensure each visit is productive and heading toward your established rehabilitative goals.

On your first visit we will set goals in order to stay on task with regard to your specific problem, so your active participation is encouraged. Please consider why you are here and how I may facilitate your wellness, as your recovery will be directly affected by how much time and energy you put into your guided home program.

I provide one-on-one care. Treatment techniques may include manual, soft tissue and joint mobilization (hands-on), therapeutic exercise with home exercise instruction, behavior modification education and caregiver instruction to help you reach your specified goals. We may use electrical stimulation, and/or biofeedback techniques as indicated with your condition. However, my emphasis is on manual techniques and patient therapy education for your home program. I will be discussing your treatment options at the conclusion of the initial evaluation.

Discharge from my program varies from patient to patient and diagnosis to diagnosis. Our goal is to be specific and thorough with treatment and help you reach functional independence. You may be 80% better at the time of discharge, but well on your way to recovery. I will always keep you informed of your progress. If we do not see some marked change in your condition within 6 treatment sessions, we will notify your physician and refer you back to him or her for follow- up.

I send progress reports monthly to any specified doctors at your request. It is important to keep all your doctors apprised of your progress.

Thank you for choosing my services to facilitate your recovery and attainment of wellness. If you have any concerns or questions please let me know. You can email me directly for any specific questions at denisealberto@verizon.net and I will be delighted to help.
