Now Offering Appointments in Stratham and Dover
Two Ways to Get Started
Evaluation: If you have a referral from a physician or a specific issue you'd like to address with physical therapy, we can schedule an evaluation and series of appointments when you contact us.
Consultation: Not sure if physical therapy is what you need? Have questions about your symptoms and how we can help? Schedule a consultation with one our therapists. This 30-minute consult, in-person or online, allows you to tell a therapist your story and get feedback on suggested next steps.
What to Expect at an Evaluation
Expect to leave with hope, answers and a plan.
At your first appointment we'll hear your story and understand who you are and what is currently stopping you from being that person.
We are comprehensive and thorough and may ask about multiple areas or systems that you have not connected as affecting each other. The evaluation also includes observing your movement, strength, coordination and balance. Please wear comfortable clothes. A pelvic floor internal examination is often one aspect of this exam, but only when you are ready. We can gather specific information regarding your pelvic floor that affects your symptoms.
We typically set up a series of appointments prior to your first visit for continuity of care. Once you meet with a therapist, a more detailed plan can be scheduled. We typically schedule visits once per week and expect to have a good understanding of your progress within 3-4 visits.
"Oceanside has given me all the tools I need to improve my conditions and to generally improve my well being. The Oceanside team is continually developing, educating, and introducing new techniques and they continue to meet me where I am."
"My therapist listened to my complaint, believed me and explained what was happening in a way that I could understand. After all this time I finally have relief and don't have pain anymore, something I was beginning to believe was no longer possible."
"I drive about 40 minutes to see them from Manchester, and I find it to be very worth the time and effort for their professionalism and caring environment that they work hard at providing."

Why Schedule a Digital Appointment?
Digital appointments can be a great solution for patients who have difficulty scheduling in-person sessions, in the event of inclement weather, or for check-ins while out of town.
Telemedicine services are supported by the American Physical Therapy Association as "an appropriate model of service delivery for the profession of physical therapy when provided in a manner consistent with association positions, standards, guidelines, policies, procedures, Standards of Practice for Physical Therapy, Code of Ethics for the Physical Therapist, Standards of Ethical Conduct for the Physical Therapist Assistant, the Guide to Physical Therapy.”
Integrative Wellness Services
We also offer a range of integrative wellness services that go above and beyond typical physical therapy and are not covered by insurance.
These services include: Dry Needling, Visceral Mobilization, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Reiki, Cupping, Wellness and HRV Coaching, Maintenance Services, and Fitness Coaching.
All wellness services require an initial consultation with a therapist to ensure that these services are appropriate and safe for you.
Insurance
We will work with you to understand your plan and physical therapy needs in a financial model that is manageable.
While Oceanside does work with select insurance networks, unfortunately in our current system, having insurance does not ensure payment and definitely does not ensure the coverage you need. At Oceanside, our treatment model allows us to be consultants for you, in one hour private sessions, assisting you in achieving your treatment goals. We are confident we can provide significant information and a treatment plan within just a few visits. We also have classes and online materials, and we can guide you to the best trainers, nutritionists, therapists and other practitioners who can help with your journey.
