FAQs

No referral is required to begin physical therapy in California. You can receive up to 12 visits or 45 days of care before a physician’s assessment is needed. Your physical therapist is trained to screen for conditions requiring medical attention and will promptly refer you to the appropriate healthcare professional if necessary.

Evaluations last 60 minutes, and follow-up visits are scheduled for 30 or 60 minutes. Your initial evaluation will determine the appropriate duration and frequency of care to meet your movement goals. Visit frequency is tailored to your recommended treatments and the time needed for optimal physical adaptations.

The first appointment is an opportunity for you and your physical therapist to build a collaborative relationship focused on your movement limitations and goals. Typically, the session includes 20 minutes of discussion to understand your story, 20 minutes for a physical examination to identify areas of focus, and 20 minutes for education and initial treatment.

Since your plan of care is already established, we will briefly reassess your response to the initial treatment to determine whether to continue or adjust the approach. You will likely receive a targeted combination of treatment strategies designed to help you achieve your movement goals.

Being out-of-network allows us to provide personalized, high-quality care without the constraints of high client volumes, rushed appointments, or treatments driven by reimbursement requirements rather than patient outcomes. You will receive care from the same therapist at the appropriate frequency, using the treatments that are most effective for your movement goals.

Clients may submit claims to their insurance for potential reimbursement, depending on their plan. Please note that we do not participate in Medicare, so Medicare patients are not eligible for reimbursement.
