Mission Statement
 
Our primary mission with each patient is to identify the cause of pain or loss of function. We evaluate each patient at the area of complaints as well as the contribution of the surrounding areas to the identified problem. Our approach on patient function at home and work versus focusing on symptoms alone. We achieve patient goals by assessing and treating muscle imbalances, poor posture as well as functional status.

What to Expect on Your First Visit to Biomax
 

On your first visit you can expect the evaluating Therapist to ask you questions about...

  • Your current condition
  • Your previous medical history, including surgeries
  • All medications you are taking
  • General information about your home
  • Your current and past level of activity
  • Your goals for recovery

Please call your insurance to check coverage for therapy. (Any limits on number of visits or dollar amount allowed or if pre-certification is required.)

It is a good idea to wear loose fitting clothing that is easily removed, or that is comfortably moved out of the way.
   

Your evaluating Therapist may assess many aspects of your well-being including...

          • Pain - its location, intensity, and nature
          • Movement - how smoothly and deliberately you move and change positions
          • Strength and endurance - how strong are your muscles and for how long can they work
          • Flexibility - how far are you able to move your painful body part(s)
          • Functional activity - what you are able to do at home and work
 
Once your evaluating Therapist determines how you can benefit from rehabilitation services, he or she will create a "Plan of Care" to meet your specific needs.
 

The Plan of Care will specify...

  • Treatments to be performed
  • How often you should receive therapy
  • Goals indicating the amount of improvement you should strive to achieve
 
Your Therapist will teach you exercises to perform at home.
 
Your Therapist will teach you about your current condition and how you can actively work to improve it.
 

Things to bring with you on your first visit:

  • A list of medications you take on a regular basis
  • A description and dates of surgeries and health problems you have had
