Benefits of Physical Therapy
As your physical therapist, we can help you get back on your feet, sometimes literally. Your carefully-developed treatment plan will be carried out 1-on-1 with the same therapist each and every time throughout your therapy sessions.
“Having overcome my own struggles with chronic pain, I understand how it feels not to be able to do the things you love. I want my patients to own their own success through exposure to quality physical therapy.”

In most cases, insurance will cover your treatment. We accept auto accident, personal injury and most health insurance plans, including Medicare. However, we recommend you call or email us directly so that we can determine your specific coverage. Our Office Manager will work with you to ensure you maximize the benefits of any insurance that could apply to your circumstance (e.g., medical, auto, etc.). Visit our insurance and payments page to find out about accepted insurance plans and other payment options.
The state of Florida allows for you to see a physical therapist without getting a prescription from a physician, allowing you to get direct access to a physical therapist. If you require care beyond 30 days, then the therapist will refer you to/back to a physician.
Seeing a physical therapist first is safe and could save you hundreds – or even thousands – of dollars. Click here for details.
During your first visit you can expect the following:
- Arrive at your appointment with your paperwork completed (you can download it from our website – see the paperwork/forms link). This will help to maximize the time that the therapist has with you.
- Provide us with the following:
- Your insurance card(s)
- Your driver’s license
- Any prescription or referral you might have received for physical therapy
- Copies of any MRI or imaging reports
- You will be seen for the initial evaluation by the therapist.
- The therapist will discuss the following:
- Your medical history.
- Your current problems/complaints.
- Pain intensity, what aggravates and eases the problem.
- How this is impacting your daily activities or your functional limitations.
- Your goals for the therapy you will receive.
- Medications, tests, and procedures related to your health.
The therapist will then perform the objective evaluation which may include some of the following:
- Palpation
- Range of Motion (ROM)
- Muscle Testing
- Neurological Screening
- Special Tests
- Posture Assessment
The therapist will then formulate a list of problems you are having, and how to treat those problems. A plan is subsequently developed with the patient’s input. This includes how many times you should see the therapist per week, how many weeks you will need therapy, home programs, patient education, short-term/long-term goals, and what is expected after discharge from therapy. This plan is created with input from you, your therapist, and your doctor.
Yes. You will be evaluated by a licensed and highly trained physical therapist who will also treat you during subsequent visits. Unlike some practices, where you see someone different each visit, we feel it is very important to develop a one-on-one relationship with you to maintain continuity of care. Your physical therapist will get to know your problems best and will be working closely with you.
In 2018, limits on how much Medicare pays for physical therapy services in one calendar year (also called “therapy caps” or “therapy cap limits“) were eliminated by Congress, recognizing that treatment often allows older Americans to maintain their independence and remain at home rather than go to a nursing home or other long-term care facility. As long as treatment is deemed medically necessary, Medicare will continue to pay for services.
