5 Signs You Need A New PT

Choosing the right physical therapist can be overwhelming, especially when dealing with pain or injury. I's important to feel comfortable, heard, and confident in the care you're receiving. Here are 5 signs that it might be time to find a new PT:

1. They're Distracted During Your Session

If your PT is busy with emails or documentation during your appointment, it's a sign they're not fully focused on your care. At Overtime, you get their undivided attention for the entire session.

2. You Spend More Time with Aides Than Your PT

If you're seeing a student, aide, or spending most of your session on your own, it's time to find a new provider. At Overtime, you'll always work one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy for the full hour.

3. They're Not Available for Questions

You need guidance between sessions. If your PT isn't available to answer your questions outside of appointments, consider a provider who offers accessible communication—like at Overtime, where you can reach us anytime.

4. They Can't Explain “Why” Behind Your Treatment

If your PT can't explain why they're recommending certain exercises, it's time to look elsewhere. At Overtime, we ensure you understand the purpose behind every treatment and exercise.

5. They Don't Focus on Strength and Stability

While manual therapy can reduce pain temporarily, without a focus on strength training, your progress may not last. At Overtime, we combine manual therapy with personalized strength programs to get you back to what you love.



At Overtime, we're committed to your recovery and long-term well-being, offering personalized, one-on-one care and education. Your success is our priority, and we're here to support you every step of the way.
