If you have a recurrent problem after your completed episode of care, how/if you will return to physical therapy will depend on a number of factors. It would depend if it was a re-injury of the same specific problem, how long it has been since you were last in physical therapy, how long it‚Äôs been since you saw the physician (if a physician referred you), and many other factors. In general, if you are discharged from treatment and feel the need to return, you should contact the therapist who treated you. He or she will review your chart and call back to discuss with you what should be done, depending on the problem you are having.
