A thorough evaluation will let us design a program specific to your needs.
The initial appointment will typically last about an hour, and at the conclusion of the evaluation, the therapist will discuss her findings with you and design an individualized treatment program for you. This program is based on both your history and your examination, and it typically includes in-office exercises, as well as techniques for a home exercise program. We are in-network with many insurance plans and will bill out-of-network insurances for you as well. If you are paying out of pocket for services you will be given a good faith estimate for the cost of sessions.
Insurances
We are in-network with most insurance companies including Florida Blue, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medicare, Tricare, United Health Care, Aetna & Cigna as well as many other smaller insurance companies and take auto insurance claims.
Direct Access and physician referrals
We accept referrals from physicians, but one is not necessary for you to receive physical therapy in Florida under Florida Statute 486.021 (11) (a) which states:
If physical therapy treatment for a patient is required beyond 30 days for a condition not previously assessed by a practitioner of record, the physical therapist shall have a practitioner of record review and sign the plan.
What to expect during your first appointment
You should wear comfortable clothing that allows for a complete assessment.
Depending on your symptoms, you should bring shorts or a short-sleeved shirt.
You should wear shoes that allow the therapist to assess the specific activities that are causing you difficulty.
You will discuss your history and symptoms with the physical therapist.
The therapist will perform a thorough evaluation of the affected area, as well as the surrounding areas of your body.
Activities can include walking, running, or functional activities like lifting a box.
