For most insurances, no prescription is needed to see a physical therapist. Direct Access laws have been signed by legislative officials in 48 states, allowing you to come to receive physical therapy for 60 days without a prescription or a referral from a physician. You have the freedom and flexibility of going to your preferred clinic to receive the resources and treatment you require from a physical therapist.

​

Direct Access allows you to visit any physical therapy clinic you choose; it will also save you money. How? Because you can eliminate an unnecessary visit to your primary care doctor for that referral or prescription. That’s money saved on a co-pay. Additionally, your treatment will begin faster by coming directly to see us first. For example, back pain is the number one reason that people miss work. Research shows that outcomes are better with physical therapy first. 

​

Physical Therapists are licensed health care professionals who:

​

• Diagnose and treat individuals of all ages.

• Work to enhance movement and your ability to accomplish daily activities.

• Examine and evaluate patients and plan therapy programs to improve movement, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability.

​

You now have control over your health and where you go for physical therapy needs. Remember, with Direct Access, you can go directly to any physical therapist you wish to see without a physician’s prescription or referral.
