What to Expect
Once you have been discharged from regular physical therapy sessions, you will notice similarities and differences in your new maintenance physical therapy appointments.
One similarity is that both regular and maintenance physical therapy sessions require an initial assessment and evaluation. Both therapy types develop a plan of care and review that plan frequently to ensure the plan is on target for your needs. The difference is that regular rehabilitation physical therapy is based on your short-term recovery. In contrast, maintenance physical therapy is designed for the long term.
You can choose the frequency of your workouts based on your goals and schedule. However, most people attend twice or three times a week. You and your physical therapist will review your progress monthly. Membership for the program is on a month-to-month basis.
Your need for maintenance therapy is not about recovering from your injury or condition. The decision to join the maintenance program is based on whether you need skilled care.
