The mission of Desert Sky Physical Therapy is to provide high quality skilled Physical Therapy services, education, prevention, and wellness services.

What to expect during a Desert Sky Physical Therapy Initial Evaluation (90 minute) session:
Interview: Following the completion of your paperwork, you will meet Kris and spend some time getting to know one another. During this time Kris will be also observing how you sit, breathe, rest in your physical body, move, and your understanding of your current challenges.

Examination Each patient referred for Desert Sky Physical Therapy will receive a private and thorough examination of all aspects of their condition. Following a review of your medical history and primary complaint, Kris will perform a physical exam of posture, flexibility and strength. She will also palpate to determine areas of tenderness, swelling and muscle tension.

Treatment: Each treatment session will be tailored to your specific needs. Physical therapy interventions typically include manual therapy, such as soft tissue mobilization and trigger point release, therapeutic exercise, including stretching and strengthening activities, and patient education regarding posture, body mechanics, and information about your medical condition. Additionally, we can use modality called ultrasound to assist in the treatment of pain, inflammation or muscle spasm. Every patient will be given a home activity program so they can continue to make progress between physical therapy sessions. All patients are encouraged to be active participants in their rehabilitation.
Treatment Plan: Once Kris is satisfied that all issues concerning safety, screening for other causes of your symptoms, and your ability for safe participation, she will discuss a treatment plan with you and get your consent to proceed. She will also go over what you are to do until the next visit, giving you instructions and handouts, and answering any other questions you may have.

Follow Up: From there, you will return back to the front desk where you can schedule your remaining visits and have any financial questions answered.

What to wear: Loose, comfortable clothes. If you have a knee or ankle complaint, please wear shorts.
Your comfort and privacy are very important. We will always respect your wishes with all examination and treatment techniques.
