Frequently asked questions
Do I need a doctor's referral?
As of September 1, 2019, Texas now has Direct Access available. Direct Access means you can receive care from a Physical Therapist for up to 10 business days, without a doctor's referral. Most insurance companies cover Direct Access but we can verify your benefits to make sure.
How long will my appointment last?
Initial evaluations and subsequent visits typically last 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on your treatment needs.
How long will I have to be in therapy?
At your first visit, the Physical Therapist will complete an evaluation. At the end of the evaluation, they will create a plan of care, with you, that will work towards your goals. They will be able to give you a good idea of how long they anticipate you will be in therapy then. This time could increase or decrease based on how your recovery goes during your course of treatment.
What should I wear to my appointment?
We recommend that you wear gym type clothing, or something you can move around in easily, and tennis shoes. The therapist may need to see your range of motion or be able to move your body easily to evaluate where you are in your recovery. You will also be stretching and moving around the clinic so being comfortable is important. We do have locker rooms you can change in if you are coming from another appointment or work.
What ages do you treat?
We treat patients from birth on. There are issues in every age group that our physical therapists can treat successfully.
How much will therapy cost me?
We accept most insurance companies and we also have a private pay option. Your payment method and insurance benefits will determine what each visit will cost. Contact our office today and we will review your payment options and verify your benefits if you are using your insurance.
