This review is specifically for Ariel - she is the best PT I've ever had! I went in multiple times for hip, lower back, and sciatica-related help. Ariel is really knowledgeable and also really kind and encouraging. I would tell her about some pain or discomfort then she would test the area and give me an exercise that always helped. Her explanations were clear and I always left feeling supported and encouraged. From the beginning, I told her that I wondered if I could ever go backpacking again. After seeing my x-rays and working with me, she assessed that there was no reason why I couldn't go. So she gave me tons of different exercises with increasing difficulty levels that I could adjust as I got stronger (even in-between visits). Perhaps even more importantly, she understood right away that my previous PT had discouraged me and seemed to figure out exactly the kind of advice to give me. Bottom line - about a year later I went backpacking and felt good about it and didn't have any problems with my hip or back on the trip. I highly recommend Ariel - she is hands down the best PT I've ever worked with!!

If you get here to this facility stop looking - it's the place to be that will help you recover in short order - no short cuts but outstanding care and attention to your progress and recovery. Use of metrics are taken in order to baseline and validate your continued incremental results. I know as I had close to 50 PT sessions. All the personnel from the back and front office are great. And the Physical Therapist that you will meet to care for you are outstanding and vested in you from day one. I Highly recommend this facility. E. Mora

I have had Physical Therapy a few times in the past. Albany Physical Therapy has been EXCELLENT! Spencer saw me through back, knee and hip issues last year and this year. The care and kindness I received was awesome. I really appreciated his calmness and caring for my issues. I highly recommend Albany Physical Therapy. The staff was always on top of things.

Ann Michelle is a hero! When we walked in my son could barely walk with a walker. He had fractured his tibial tubercle and avulced his patella tendon two months earlier, and had been bedridden for two months. Almost immediately upon beginning treatment with Ann Michelle, my son finally started to regain mobility. She was fiercely dedicated to getting him back up on his feet walking, and even back to snowboarding again eventually. Her deep knowledge of the body and how it heals was stunning. Her cheerful demeanor was as healing as her massage and strengthening work. My son is devoted to her and we are all deeply grateful. We also had a good experience with the front desk staff and scheduling has been smooth and easy (once we got in).

I've been to P/T a few times before, but this was the best experience I've had. Spencer was clear, kind, and very effective. I'm now running again, and I was discharged after five sessions (and the homework between sessions), which is less than insurance covered. Not only did the stretches and exercises help, but Spencer gave me a great understanding of what was going on in my knee, which will help tremendously in the future. Anyway, can't recommend highly enough! Thanks!

Commonly Asked Questions & What to Expect During Your PT Treatment

Do I need to see a doctor first?

Thanks to direct access, we can see any patient without a referral from a doctor for an initial evaluation. If our therapists believe that physical therapy is a good option for your needs, we can work with you and your physician to obtain a prescription for continued care. If your diagnosis requires additional expertise, we can also refer you to a specialist to handle your care.

What do I need to bring to my first visit?

For your first visit, be sure to bring the following items:

  • Prescription for physical therapy from your referring physician (if applicable)
  • Government issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license)
  • Insurance card(s)
  • Patient forms, which can be downloaded from this site in PDF format. Print and fill out the forms completely and bring them during your first visit.
  • Patients who are minors (under 18 years of age) must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for their first visit.

What should I wear to physical therapy?

Please wear or bring comfortable athletic/workout clothing to change into. This includes shorts or sweatpants, a t-shirt and sneakers. Your attire should also allow easy access to your injured area for treatment by your physical therapist.

What can I expect during my first visit?

During your first visit, your therapist will perform a thorough examination, in which he or she will review your physician’s recommendations, examine the problem area, ask questions about your injury or pain, develop an effective treatment plan for rehabilitation, discuss their findings with you and answer any questions you may have. Your treatment plan may include hands-on, manual therapy, a customized exercise program, stretching and physical agents such as heat, ice, ultrasound and electrical stimulation. Your physical therapist may also recommend a home program to further assist in your treatment.

How long will my appointment take?

Your first appointment will typically last from 45 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on your injury. Following appointments usually last between 30 minutes and an hour, depending on the treatment. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of your appointment for check-in and paperwork. You can also download our patient forms, which can be filled out beforehand and brought with to your appointment.

How often will I need to come?

The frequency of your treatment will depend on your physician’s prescription and the plan of care developed by your physical therapist. Most patients require treatment two to three times per week. The duration of treatment will depend on your injury and personal progress. Your physical therapist will discuss this with you following your initial exam and subsequently as you progress.

What if I need to cancel an appointment?

If you are unable to attend an appointment, we require at least 24 hours' notice. However, we do understand than an occasional emergency or illness may arise, in which case you may have to cancel your appointment closer to your scheduled time.

Do you accept insurances? Will insurance cover my therapy?

We accept most major insurances including Medicare, Tricare and workers’ compensation plans. Before your initial visit, we will verify in and out of network benefits with your insurance company. The cost of therapy is determined by the benefits of your insurance plan, including the deductible and co-pay, or patient percentage. We are happy to check with your insurance company to determine the terms of your coverage. Payment for patient responsibility is due at the time of service.

Do you offer complimentary consultations?

We are proud to offer complimentary injury screenings with one of our certified licensed specialists who will discuss your area of discomfort and offer suggestions for next steps in care, if appropriate. For your convenience, consultations will last no longer than 15 minutes and are available over the phone or in person. To request a complimentary screening, after entering your ZIP code in the location look up, simply select 'Free Consultation' and proceed to fill out your information.
