Questions people ask first

In Alabama you can start without a referral, within the limits state law sets. Your plan may still ask for one. Call us with your plan card and we will check before you book.

We bill many kinds of plans, including most PPO plans, Medicare, Medicaid, military health coverage, workers' compensation and auto injury coverage. Your plan decides what it pays. We check your benefits and call you before your first visit.

We give you a written estimate before your first visit, and you pay for each visit on the day. We do not bill your plan.

Your first visit is about an hour with a physical therapist. Later visits can be shorter. A physical therapist assistant may guide your drills under your therapist's direction.

It depends on what your therapist finds, how your body responds, what your physician set and what your sport asks of you. Your therapist talks it through with you, and we do not promise a number.

Clothes and shoes you train in, your plan card, a photo ID, any brace or tape you use, and your doctor's or surgeon's instructions.

We work within what you can tolerate. Some movements and exercises can be uncomfortable. Tell us, and we change what we are doing.

Some follow-up visits can be done by video for people in Alabama, where we are licensed. The first visit is in person.

Yes. If you were hurt in a crash or at work, get emergency care first. Tell us who your adjuster is. Your state decides who may direct your care.

Some of our physical therapists do, where Alabama law allows and after the training it requires. It is one tool among others. Your therapist explains what it involves, the risks and the choices before you decide.
