Functional testing

A task-by-task test of what you can do now, written up for you and the people your case names.

What a visit looks like

What we do
Your therapist watches you lift, carry, push, pull, reach, kneel, climb and stand, and records how you do each task and how your body responds. The weights and times your job asks for are the guide. You get a written summary.
What decides how many visits
How long testing takes depends on what it is for, what your referral asks and how your body responds. Your therapist explains it before you begin.
Who treats you
A physical therapist runs and writes up the test. A physical therapist assistant does not.

How it is paid for
By the payer on your case, or by you if you choose to pay yourself. We tell you which before you begin.
How fees work

Chest pain, trouble breathing, a sudden severe headache or pain, new weakness or numbness, loss of bladder or bowel control, or a fall with a head injury needs emergency care now. Call 911.

You do, and the people your case names, such as your doctor or your adjuster. We share your records only as the law allows.

No. It shows what you can do on tasks. Your doctor decides about your diagnosis and your work limits.

We work within what you can tolerate. Some tasks can be uncomfortable. Tell us, and we stop or change the task.

We hear about your injury at your first visit, not in the form.
