Do I need a doctor's referral?

No. North Carolina is a Direct Access state, meaning that one can receive physical therapy evaluations and treatments without a doctor's referral.

​

What can I expect on my first visit?

​A lot of questions! I want to know not just of your problem area but all the factors in your life that may be contributing to it.  

A physical exam of your whole body, how you move.  

If an internal exam is warranted I thoroughly review the process and it is ALWAYS optional and based on your consent and comfort level. 

​

How long are the sessions? How many will I need?

Expect the session to be about an hour. The initial assessment can be longer, 60-90minutes.  

Typical frequency is once a week, although that is determined in the initial assessment. Everyone differs in their response to therapy and so does their number of sessions.  Some may need 6 sessions, while others benefit from 12. You will be updated continuously on your progress.
