Common Questions

“When can I start my recovery?”

Most patients begin therapy within days after surgery. Your surgeon will guide the ideal timing, and we’ll coordinate directly with their office to ensure you start at the right time.

“What can I expect at my first visit?”

Your first session is about getting to know you and your goals. We’ll review your surgery details, assess your current mobility, and design your personal recovery plan. Plan for about an hour – we take the time to do this right.

“How long until I’m back to normal?”

Recovery varies for everyone, but we’ll map out clear milestones based on your specific surgery and goals. We’ll give you realistic timelines and update them as you progress, keeping you informed every step of the way.

“How should I prepare for my visits?”

Keep it simple: wear clothes you can move in comfortably, bring your insurance card and any surgery notes. Most importantly, bring your questions – we’re here to make sure you understand and feel confident about your recovery journey.

Insurance & Payment Options

We accept most major insurance plans and offer flexible payment options. Our team will verify your benefits and explain coverage details before your first visit to ensure a smooth experience.

“I have been working with Christian for about 4 months. During that time the range of motion and strength in my shoulder has increased dramatically. Christian’s goals are to keep me active and to prevent surgical intervention. Goals accomplished! Thank you Christian!!!”

“Both my wife and I have worked with and very happy to recommend Christian and Active Physical Therapy. I was dealing with severe shoulder pain following a bad fall. He gave me the exercises that helped me get back into the gym quickly and tips to improve my form and longevity as an athlete.”
