Passive Therapy
Passive therapy describes treatment delivered to you while you are resting or receiving hands-on care. At Health First, these options may be included to address appropriate symptoms as part of a broader, individualized plan.

Hands-on attention to muscles and soft tissues, selected according to your evaluation.
Controlled warmth that may be considered for certain types of muscle tension and stiffness.
A device-based option with screening and settings matched to the purpose of care.
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.
Tell your provider when symptoms began, what makes them worse, and how they affect your daily routine.
Your evaluation helps determine suitable care and whether further medical assessment is needed.
Discuss your response to care and any changes in symptoms so your plan can be reassessed.
No. The recommended services depend on your evaluation and response to treatment.
No. Passive therapy describes a category of treatment; it is not the same as a physical therapy profession or a complete rehabilitation program.
It may be included when appropriate. Start with an evaluation so your provider can determine suitable options.
Each treatment has its own considerations. Share your medical conditions, medications, recent injuries, and any concerns before care begins.
