The Telephone Consultation

Talk to the physical therapist, not a scheduler

Call almost any clinic and you get someone whose job is the diary. Pleasant, helpful, and unable to tell you a single thing about your shoulder.

Our free telephone consultation is 15 minutes with Trupti Mehta, PT, MS, OCS. She asks what hurts, when it started, what makes it worse, and what you have already tried.

By the end of the call you know whether this is likely something physical therapy can fix, and whether it is worth your time to come in at all.

It is booked as fifteen minutes. She tends to go longer.

We hold 15 minutes so nobody is watching a clock. In practice she keeps going while you still have questions.

Reviewers describe calls that ran well past the fifteen. We are not going to promise you a length. We will promise she does not rush you off the phone.

“Before beginning, Trupke spoke to me and my therapist at length by phone and she obviously, quickly grapsed a good deal of complicated information.” Louise S.

What one phone call can get you

• A plain-language read on what is probably driving your pain.
• Whether it sounds like a physical therapy problem, or something a physician should look at first.
• What treatment would actually involve: hands on, one-on-one with a licensed physical therapist, every visit.
• How a plan with an endpoint gets built, in four phases: Pain, Prime, Perform, Prevent.
• Straight talk about cost before you commit. If we are not a good fit for your coverage, we will say so.

“Trupti and I had a great call where she really demystified the potential causes and treatment options.” Althea D.

You have been meaning to sort this out for a while

You are the one who books everybody else’s appointments. Yours is the one still sitting on the list.

It is not that you do not care about your own body. It is that making the call means admitting the thing is real, and you have been busy holding a lot of other things up.

Fifteen minutes. No cost. Nobody watches you walk in.

Nervous about the clinic? Start on the phone.

“For anyone who is skeptical or nervous, I would highly recommend having the free telephone consultation with Trupti because after I talked to her on the phone I felt less intimated to go see her in person for free the discovery visit. At least get started so you can find out for yourself if this is going to work for you or not.” Eric P.

If the call goes well, the next step is the 30-minute Discovery Session in the clinic. Still nothing to commit to.

Waiting is the expensive option

“So for anyone out there who is stalling or unsure if Physical therapy will help you, things are not going to be solved by themselves. So it’s good to get evaluated and get the right course of action from an expert, sooner rather than later.” Ben M.

Pain that has been around a while rarely stays the same size. You start guarding it, something else picks up the load, and now there are two problems instead of one.
