Patient Information
New Patient Information for Juneberry Integrative Physical Therapy
Welcome to Juneberry Integrative Physical Therapy! We’re thrilled to support you on your journey toward better health. Below are some helpful tips to ensure your first visit goes smoothly and you feel as comfortable and supported as possible.
1. What to Wear
Dress Comfortably: Please wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. Avoid tight clothing, such as yoga pants, as we need to assess your posture, movement, and alignment. Clothing that is easy to adjust and move in will be most beneficial for your session.
2. Arrival Time
Arrive Early: Our time together is valuable, so please arrive 5 minutes before your first session. This gives us time to ensure everything is set up for you and allows us to start promptly.
3. New Patient Form
Be Thorough: When filling out your New Patient Form, please be as thorough as possible. Include any accidents, injuries, surgeries, or procedures that you can recall, regardless of how long ago they occurred. This information helps me get a more accurate picture of your medical history and allows me to tailor your treatment plan accordingly.
4. Session Duration
First Session: Expect your first session to last 75 minutes. This allows us time for a thorough evaluation and to start addressing your specific needs.
Subsequent Sessions: All follow-up sessions will be 55 minutes long. This ensures we can continue working on your goals in a focused, effective way.
5. Frequency of Visits
Visit Frequency: Treatment frequency is typically once every 3-4 weeks. The type of manual therapy I use takes time to integrate within your system, so expect to be seen about once per month during your plan of care. This allows for gradual, long-term improvement.
I’m here to make this process as smooth and beneficial for you as possible. If you have any questions before your appointment, don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and helping you feel your best!
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Compassionate, Personalized Care from the Start
At your scheduled appointment, I will personally greet you in the lobby, ensuring you feel welcomed and at ease. I understand that pelvic health concerns are deeply personal, and my goal is to create a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you feel heard and empowered in your healing journey.
Understanding Your Needs
We’ll begin by reviewing your intake form, discussing your medical history, symptoms, and goals. Every person’s experience is unique, so I take the time to listen carefully and fully understand your concerns.
A Gentle & Thorough Assessment
Based on our discussion, I will evaluate key areas that may be affecting your pelvic health, such as:
✅ Posture & Alignment – How your body holds and distributes tension
✅ Strength & Flexibility – Assessing muscle function & balance
✅ Core Stability – Evaluating how your deep core muscles support movement
✅ Pelvic Floor Muscle Function – Identifying areas of weakness or tension
✅ Movement Patterns – Looking at how your body moves as a whole
This comprehensive, yet gentle approach ensures that your treatment is aligned with your goals, whether that’s reducing pain, improving bladder or bowel function, addressing postpartum recovery, or enhancing overall pelvic health.
Your Personalized Treatment Plan
After the assessment, I will provide a clear, compassionate summary of my findings and outline a customized treatment plan designed specifically for you. We will discuss the best approach together, always prioritizing your comfort, preferences, and goals.
Supporting Your Healing Journey
To get the most out of your sessions, I encourage you to reflect after each visit. Noticing and journaling any changes—especially within the first 24 to 72 hours—can help strengthen your mind-body connection and support lasting improvements.
You Are Not Alone in This Journey
Your well-being is my top priority, and I am here to support you every step of the way. If you have any questions, concerns, or just need guidance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
💜 I look forward to working with you toward better pelvic health and overall wellness.
