Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about physical therapy at Elite Movement Specialists in Macon, GA.

Recovery time varies depending on the severity of your injury and how long you've been dealing with pain. Many of our patients see significant improvements within 4-6 weeks with consistent treatment and adherence to their personalized plan. During your initial evaluation, we'll provide a realistic timeline based on your specific condition and goals.



 

 

No! Georgia is a direct access state, which means you can see a physical therapist without a physician referral. We can evaluate and treat you immediately, saving you time and helping you start your recovery sooner.


 

 

We work with most major insurance plans. During your free phone consultation, we can discuss your coverage and provide information about out-of-pocket costs. Our goal is to make high-quality care accessible to everyone in Macon.


 

 

 

In many cases, yes. Our comprehensive approach addresses the root cause of shoulder pain and focuses on restoring proper mechanics, strength, and mobility. Many patients who were told they needed surgery have been able to avoid it through consistent physical therapy. However, if surgery is necessary, we'll be honest about that and help you optimize your recovery afterward.


 

 

Absolutely. We don't believe in "just rest it" or forcing you to quit the activities you love. Instead, we'll help you modify your training, address movement patterns that may be contributing to your injury, and build strength in the right areas so you can keep moving forward safely.
