Comfort Is One Part of the Goal

A helpful conversation goes beyond how a treatment feels during the appointment. Tell your provider whether you are moving more comfortably, sleeping better, or finding daily activities easier—and whether symptoms return or change.

Passive therapies should have a defined purpose. Ask how they fit into your plan, how progress will be measured, and what you should do between visits.

Personalized, Not Automatic

01 · Share Your Story

Tell your provider when symptoms began, what makes them worse, and how they affect your daily routine.

02 · Understand Your Options

Your evaluation helps determine suitable care and whether further medical assessment is needed.

03 · Review Your Progress

Discuss your response to care and any changes in symptoms so your plan can be reassessed.

Questions Before Your Visit

Will I receive every type of therapy?

No. The recommended services depend on your evaluation and response to treatment.

Is passive therapy the same as physical therapy?

No. Passive therapy describes a category of treatment; it is not the same as a physical therapy profession or a complete rehabilitation program.

Can passive therapy be part of accident care?

It may be included when appropriate. Start with an evaluation so your provider can determine suitable options.

Is it safe for everyone?

Each treatment has its own considerations. Share your medical conditions, medications, recent injuries, and any concerns before care begins.
