Your first visit will last approximately one hour and will include a comprehensive evaluation and applicable treatment administered by a licensed physical therapist. Your physical therapist will review your medical history, diagnostic tests and any recent events that may have contributed to your current condition. Your evaluation will include assessment of your current functional deficits, pain level and posture, as well as a thorough evaluation of your flexibility, strength, balance and endurance. Following the first appointment the subsequent treatment sessions average between 30 – 45 minutes.

A referral is an authorization that is submitted to your insurance company usually by your primary care physician (PCP). Referrals require the submission of the Practitioners National Provider Identifier (NPI) number to the PCP.  

In Massachusetts direct access to physical therapy is allowed which means a referral or prescription are not required to have physical therapy.  However, most insurances require a referral/prescription for reimbursement of physical therapy services. If you choose to seek PT services without insurance, you can request a quote for our rates.

Generally you will be seen for 2-3 visits per week depending on your diagnosis and the treatment plan that has been outlined by your PT.
