Physical Therapy Assessment

A physical therapy assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of the patient’s movement condition, aimed at creating a detailed medical record that outlines the current status of the body, muscles, and joints, to identify improvement areas to be monitored throughout therapy sessions.

Assessment Method

• The Technical Director evaluates movement, muscle strength, range of motion, and body posture.

• All observations are recorded in the patient’s file as a reference to track progress.

• The assessment may also include simple tests of muscle and joint function as needed.

• The assessment usually lasts 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the condition.

Purpose of the Physical Therapy Assessment

• Create a detailed patient file reflecting the current condition.

• Identify improvement points to monitor session by session.

• Develop a customized treatment plan for each case to ensure the best possible results.

• Track the patient’s progress scientifically and systematically.

Difference Between Physical Therapy Assessment and Orthopedic or Neurological Assessment

• Orthopedic or neurological assessments focus on diagnosing a problem or identifying the medical cause, such as fractures, nerve inflammation, or joint injuries.

• Physical therapy assessment focuses on evaluating movement and muscle functions, identifying objective points to monitor improvement session by session, and creating a treatment plan—not just medical diagnosis.

In short, a physical therapy assessment is a crucial step for personalizing treatment and achieving clear improvements in mobility and daily performance.

At Bodyfix, every physical therapy assessment is part of an integrated treatment program, with precise session-by-session monitoring to ensure progress according to recorded evaluation points and achieve the best results scientifically and safely.
