Illinois allows direct access to physical therapy, so in most cases you can begin without a referral. Some insurance plans still require one for coverage — call us and we will verify your specific plan before your first visit.
Bring your photo ID, insurance card, any referral or imaging reports from your physician, and comfortable clothing you can move in. Arrive about ten minutes early to complete paperwork.
Most visits run 45 to 60 minutes, including hands-on treatment, exercise, and any modalities in your plan. Your first evaluation may run slightly longer.
It depends on your condition and goals. Many patients attend two to three times per week for four to six weeks. After your evaluation, your therapist will give you an honest estimate and re-assess as you progress.
