What to Expect at Your Appointment

Dr. Jessica Merhar, a Board-Certified Clinical Specialist in Orthopaedic Physical Therapy and a McKenzie Diplomat at MetroHealth Medical Center, said each visit is customized to a patient’s injury and abilities. Typically, each session lasts 45 minutes. During the first visit, the physical therapist will review a medical history, do an exam to rule out a serious injury, and take into account movement, strength and function.
