Generally sessions are an average of 45 minutes long.

We have found that patients receive optimal benefits while coming three times per week for most diagnoses. There may, however, be times where more or less frequent visits will be most effective. During your initial evaluation, your therapist will be able to tell you the optimal frequency to come, in accordance with your diagnosis and physician’s plan of care.

Once you are seen for an evaluation your therapist will give you a list of exercises for you to follow up with at home. These exercises will be periodically updated and will facilitate your rehabilitation.

During each of your visits, the prescribed therapeutic exercises and other therapeutic techniques will be documented in detail, as well as your response to the treatment. Your therapist will also perform a re-evaluation about every 4 weeks or before you see your physician to keep them updated on your progress.

Direct Access allows you to receive treatment for your musculoskeletal and neurological injuries and or pains from a highly trained physical therapist, in timely fashion, without seeing your physician first. This results in lower costs for patients and their insurance companies, as well as timely satisfaction for patients seeking physical therapy treatment.

Most private insurances cover physical therapy through Direct Access. Individuals with Workers’ Compensation or No-Fault coverage will require a prescription for coverage. Individuals with Medicare can be evaluated without a prescription, and our staff will work with you to obtain a prescription for treatment. Here at ACCESS PT, we have an “Open Door Policy” whether you walk in our door for an ache or pain, or simply to ask a question – we are here for YOU!

Physical Therapists are experts trained in the evaluation and treatment of musculoskeletal dysfunction. They are trained specifically to improve movement and function, relieve pain, and expand movement potential. Physical Therapy is often the treatment of choice in situations where pain impairs function, in recovering from an injury or surgery, and in recovering from a disease process or illness. Physical Therapists also teach adaptive and physical coping skills in dealing with impaired function from a disease, injury or illness.
