Patient Information

Patient Info / Forms

Welcome to Mana Physical Therapy

We are here to help you enjoy your life, pain-free! To make a convenient appointment, simply call us today at 732-390-8100. Our practice is dedicated to helping our patients identify the cause of their pain and creating a custom treatment program that will allow them to return to normal activities pain-free.

What you can expect

At your first visit, you will be greeted by a member of our staff and fill out a few forms including your medical history. If you want to have them completed before your appointment, see below. If you have a prescription from your doctor and have imaging results that is helpful but not always necessary. Your therapist will then review your medical history and ask more questions regarding your condition to help guide the physical exam.

The physical exam will be extensive and the primary source of symptoms will be identified. Based on the results of your exam and other information provided, your therapist will create a customized plan of care for you. This will include manual therapy (hands-on care) and/or corrective exercise and other modalities.

Your plan of care will be continuously reviewed, evaluated and changed as your condition improves to help you meet your long-term goals. Long-term goals are patient specific and can include being able to enjoy a mile walk without knee pain as well as someone who needs to get back to sports without pain and more efficient movements.

Direct Access

We offer you direct access to our services. You do not need a physician referral to be evaluated and treated by Mana Physical Therapy. Every state allows for evaluation and some form of treatment without physician referral. This allows patients to start physical therapy as soon as their symptoms begin without having to wait days or weeks to see their physician first.

Your physical therapist will decide at the first session, or after the first few sessions, if physical therapy is appropriate for you. If necessary, you will be referred to another provider such as your primary care doctor, the emergency room, urgent care or surgeon.

Telehealth

Attention Mana Physical Therapy Patients: Due to the unprecedented events that have recently taken place regarding COVID-19, we have implemented telehealth services to our clinic. This will allow patients that are restricted to their home to continue to receive instruction and progression of their physical therapy treatment plan, within the safety of their own home.

How does it work? We will simply send you an e-mail with a link to a video chat with your physical therapist. You can expect to be in a live video chat in as little as 15 seconds.

What does it cost? Medicare has recently implemented full coverage for Telehealth in physical therapy, which they classify as an “E-Visit”. This will allow for 1 visit per week while you are unable to attend in-person sessions. Select private insurances also cover telehealth. Our office will verify your coverage before your session to let you know of any out-of-pocket expenses.

What do I need? You will need a mobile device with a camera such a smartphone, tablet or laptop. The tricky part will be to find a place to anchor your phone or tablet if you will be lying down. You and your therapist will work together to create a comfortable set-up. You might also need items such as a Thera-band which will be determined during your first session.

FAQs

What is physical therapy?
Physical therapy is a medical, hands-on approach to relieving pain and restoring function. Physical therapists are medical experts in musculoskeletal and neurological conditions and work closely with physicians. Our physical therapists evaluate your movement patterns, identify the cause of your pain, and work to eliminate it. While every patient's condition and pain is unique, your physical therapist will use a variety of gentle hands-on techniques, exercises, and equipment to relieve pain quickly and restore your function to optimum levels. The overall goal is to restore pain-free mobility and function and to prevent the injury or pain from recurring.
How do I know if physical therapy will help me?
Working with you and your doctor, we can discuss your options and help determine if physical therapy will be the right choice for you. Contact us today to discuss your current condition and even set up a free consultation if you choose.
