HOW LONG ARE SESSIONS?
Each session will last approximately 45 - 60 minutes. Times may vary slightly due to treatments and exercises utilized.
DO YOU ACCEPT MY INSURANCE?
We participate in most major health insurance plans. Please contact us prior to your first visit to see if we participate with your specific plan.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
We recommend wearing comfortable and/or loose clothes that make it easy for you to move around. Tennis or athletic shoes are ideal. Layers or a change of clothes may be necessary for access to particular areas for manual therapy or dry needling.
HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I HAVE?
A typical plan of care will last about 8-12 visits for non surgical patients. Plan of cares are highly individualized and plans may require less or more visits to return to prior level of function.
DO I NEED A REFERRAL?
In most cases, no. Connecticut is a Direct Access state, meaning that you do not need a doctor referral to see your preferred physical therapist. There are a couple of exceptions, but we will review this with you if applicable.
WHAT PAYMENT TYPES DO YOU ACCEPT?
We accept HSA, cash, check, and card, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FOR THE FIRST VISIT?
Your initial appointment will be approximately 1 hour long. The hour will include: A full evaluation with baseline testing and measurements, a review of goals, creation of home exercise program and establishing a Plan of Care
HOW MUCH WILL PHYSICAL THERAPY COST ME?
The cost of your visit depends on your specific insurance benefits for physical therapy. Call your insurance or our front desk for specific details regarding your payment.
