Proactive Physical Therapy: The Annual Check-Up for Optimal Health
Just as you have annual check-ups with your physician or dentist, it's vital to give your body the same attention for movement, strength, and function. It's also financially practical! Those who accessed physical therapy early saved around $5,000 in healthcare costs over two years. Early intervention manages conditions effectively, reducing the need for costly treatments later[1][2].
The SloopPT Annual Physical Therapy Check-Up is a proactive, one-on-one session designed to assess your physical health, identify potential issues early, avoid injuries, and keep you moving at your best—no matter your age or activity level.
What’s included in the check-up:
🗂️ Detailed History Taking
We begin with an in-depth review of your current lifestyle, activity level, and past medical history, including previous injuries, surgeries, or chronic conditions that may affect your movement.
🎯 Goal Setting & Lifestyle Discussion
We take time to understand your goals—whether it’s running a 5K, keeping up with your kids, avoiding injury at work, or simply feeling better in your body. This helps us tailor the session to what’s most important to you.
🧠 Movement Screen
We assess how your joints and muscles function with simple but effective tests—posture, balance, flexibility, gait, and more.
💪 Strength & Stability Testing
We look for muscle imbalances or weaknesses that could lead to pain or limit your mobility in the future.
🦵 Injury Risk & Pain Screening
We identify early warning signs, compensations, or limitations, especially if you’ve had aches or injuries in the past.
🏃 Activity-Specific Assessment
Whether you’re a weekend warrior, busy parent, runner, or desk worker, we tailor our recommendations to match your lifestyle and goals.
📋 Personalized Action Plan
You’ll leave with a custom strategy—targeted stretches, strength work, or ergonomic tips—designed just for you.
Think of it as a wellness check-up for your muscles and joints—a smart, proactive step to help you move better, feel stronger, and prevent injury.
