FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS PHYSICAL THERAPY?

Physical therapy (PT) is a science-based, personalized approach to restoring movement, reducing pain, and improving function after injury, surgery, illness, or chronic conditions. Through targeted exercises, hands-on techniques, and education, physical therapy helps individuals regain strength, mobility, and confidence in their daily activities—enhancing overall health and quality of life.

DO I NEED A PHYSICIAN’S REFERRAL TO BEGIN PT?

You no longer need a doctor’s referral to begin physical therapy! Texas House Bill 4099 (effective September 1, 2025) allows patients to receive PT treatment for up to 30 consecutive calendar days without an MD referral.

Note: Traditional Medicare Part B and Medicare Advantage plans still require an MD referral and a signed PT Plan of Care for coverage.

HOW MUCH DOES A PHYSICAL THERAPY SESSION COST?

We verify your insurance benefits, explain all costs upfront, collect any copay or coinsurance, and submit your PT claim for you. We also accept cash, credit cards, and FSA/HSA cards.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING MY FIRST PHYSICAL THERAPY SESSION?

Your initial visit includes a comprehensive evaluation where your therapist will:

• Review your medical history

A treatment plan will then be created to help restore your mobility, strength, and confidence.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER MY PHYSICAL THERAPY IS COMPLETED?

At discharge, you’ll receive a customized home exercise program to support continued progress. You may also explore our wellness options, including personal training and massage therapy, to maintain lifelong physical and mental well-being.
