Before your appointment
Patients can be seen for physical therapy both with and without a referral.
However, many insurance companies require a referral and/or authorization
for treatment. It is recommended that you check with your insurance
regarding benefits.
Prepare for your appointment:
First Appointment (Evaluation)
First visits are for evaluation of the source of dysfunction and usually are 45
minutes in length. Depending on the nature of the evaluation, individuals can
be sore afterwards or more painful. In the evaluation, your physical therapist
may provoke your symptoms. On follow-up visits, we work together to
resolve your dysfunction which will be different from the evaluation. Some
individuals may not have soreness from the evaluation.
Follow up appointments last approximately 45 to 60 minutes.
