What is Outpatient Physical Therapy?
Physical therapists improve soft tissue and joint mobility, relieve pain, educate and prevent permanent physical disabilities of patients suffering from injuries or disease. Outpatient physical therapy is treatment of patients outside of a hospital setting. Treatment includes an initial evaluation, hands-on therapies, and therapeutic exercises. The use of medical modalities may also be used to reduce pain and promote healing allowing the individual to achieve their most functional level possible. More information is available at www.wpta.org and www.apta.org
Do I need a Prescription or a Referral for Physical Therapy?
For insurance coverage, a prescription from a medical doctor is necessary to properly file a claim. Physical therapy may also be provided by private pay without a physician’s referral. Please ask for information regarding private pay fees and arrangements.
