Booster Visits
Confidence through changes and check-ins
Even if you take part in a joint health therapy program, as osteoarthritis progresses, changes in your ability to move, get up or down or extend your reach can happen. These may be noticeable to you or decreases in abilities can be happening that are not immediately felt. Check-ins called “booster visits” identify these shifts in flexibility, strength and balance.
Our standardized program, built around nationwide best-practices and evidence-based techniques and treatment, includes these booster visits along the patient journey.
The visits are structured, follow-up rehabilitation sessions between various stages of joint disease, designed to enhance and maintain the benefits of rehabilitation therapy. These check-ins allow our joint experts to keep you on track with care plans, assess where adjustments need to be made and alter plans as needed for longevity of progress.
Regardless if you are feeling pain or not, an annual booster visit with a joint health therapist is recommended to compare current measurements against those taken at the beginning of treatment to note areas of progress or decline. If there are marked areas of weakening, adjustments to a home exercise program or taking part in another course of rehabilitation targeting those areas may be recommended.
This regularly scheduled visit gives you control of your joint health journey. If you have questions about whether your arthritis side effects are changing or progressing, schedule a booster visit today.
