Frequently Asked Questions
What conditions does the Saratoga Springs physical therapy team treat?
The OrthoNY Saratoga Springs physical therapy team treats orthopedic conditions affecting the knee, hip, shoulder, spine, hand, and wrist, including post-surgical recovery, sports injuries, and chronic pain. As a center for orthopedic and sports physical therapy, care includes manual therapy, guided exercise, and balance training, with complex cases coordinated directly with OrthoNY providers.
When should physical therapy start after surgery?
Timing depends on the procedure and the surgeon’s guidance. Some surgeries, like joint replacements, benefit from early movement to reduce stiffness, while others, such as rotator cuff repairs, require protected rest first. Our Saratoga Springs therapists coordinate directly with each patient’s surgeon to confirm the right starting point, balancing healing with steady progress toward strength and independence.
What happens during a first visit to Saratoga Springs physical therapy?
A first visit includes a full evaluation of strength, range of motion, posture, and movement, along with a review of medical history and goals. Some patients begin light exercises that same day. Because the Saratoga Regional Health Center also houses OrthoNY providers and imaging, therapists have direct access to relevant records from the start.
Is a referral required to start physical therapy in Saratoga Springs?
Not always — New York allows direct access to physical therapy for a limited number of visits without a physician’s order, though some insurance plans still require one. Staff at the Saratoga Springs location can confirm what a specific plan requires, verify benefits, and handle any necessary authorizations or paperwork on the patient’s behalf.
How many physical therapy sessions will I need?
The number of visits varies based on the injury, whether surgery was involved, and how a patient responds to treatment, ranging from a few sessions to several months. Most patients attend two to three sessions weekly. Treatment is milestone-driven, with frequency tapering as patients meet functional goals and progress toward independent recovery.
Does insurance cover physical therapy at this Saratoga Springs location?
Yes — physical therapy at OrthoNY is covered by most major insurance plans, including private insurance, Medicare, workers’ compensation, and no-fault coverage. Coverage varies by plan, so staff verify benefits and outline expected costs before treatment begins. Self-pay options are also available for uninsured patients or those with high-deductible plans.
