Do I need a referral from my physician to make an appointment?

No, since New York State passed Direct Access for physical therapy in 2006, you can go 30 days or 10 visits without a doctor’s referral. Contact our office to determine what your insurance requirements are.

How long will each of my visits be?

Sessions will generally be about 45 minutes depending on your rehabilitation progress, for one or more sessions a week. Your evaluation will usually be the longest.

As progress shows, your visits may alter in frequency and length. You will be constantly learning new strategies and techniques to advance your healing process. You will be given exercises to perform at home to expedite your progress as well.

What is expected during my first visit? What should I bring?

Prior to your first visit, you should come prepared with a few things:

  • Make a list of questions you might have for your therapist
  • Make a list of all your symptoms
  • Make note of key information regarding your medical history
  • Bring your photo ID and insurance card
  • Wear athletic/fitness clothes for optimal comfortability and range of motion

Coming prepared with all the above will allow our team to best understand your specific needs and put you in the best position to have a successful physical therapy experience.
