Our Work

Physical Therapy Check-ups

An annual physical therapy check-up allows patients to develop an ongoing relationship with their physical therapist to maintain optimum health and beautiful movement across their lifespan.

In conjunction with their primary care providers, we offer annual movement check-ups for patients as a way to screen for conditions that may need to be referred out. This reduces the risk of injury, impairment, functional limitation and disability related to movement, plus helps to promote and maintain fitness, health and quality of life in all age populations.

You get your teeth examined and cleaned yearly. You go to your doctor for a routine health check-up. So why is it that no one examines the body system that moves you, other than when it hurts? Many of us do not understand our physical strengths and weakness until something goes wrong. Pain is a strong driver and is what brings many people into physical therapy. We feel that by proactively having an expert examine a person's movement system regularly helps curb the risk for injury, pain and poor movement.

Physical therapists are the experts of choice when it comes to the neuro/musculoskeletal system. We are trained to evaluate the whole body movement system and can screen for and identify risk factors for injury and disease. Physical therapists are skilled at detailed assessments of functional movements, such as walking, squatting and lifting, as well as fitness testing. Stride Physio physical therapists are trained and prepared to provide yearly movement and fitness check-ups, as recommended by a patient's primary care provider. At Stride Physio, we believe that an annual physical therapy check-up underscores the importance of how a patient can take charge of their health and fitness.
