Learn about what to expect below.

From changes in healthcare law to what you can expect from seeing us, we want to keep you informed. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions about how we can help you.

Do I need a script or referral to come to PT?

As of July 2023, individuals no longer need a physician's script or referral to seek physical therapy services in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Physical therapists are among other common healthcare practitioners that you have "direct access" to.

I am not sure what my diagnosis is. Should I still come in?

Absolutely. We are skilled in working through the many complexities of the injury and pain experience. We specialize in deducing true causes to build thorough rehabilitation plans. We believe in the individuals that trust our expertise and, no two are treated the same,

Not only are we experts of the human physiological systems, but no small part of our physical therapist's doctorate training is in medical differential diagnosis. This means that not only are we trained to appropriately recognize and diagnose "traditional" musculoskeletal ailments, but we have the training to identify when it is appropriate to refer to our network of other medical specialists.

What is
"1-on-1 Care" and what does that mean for me?

1-on-1 Care means that each session is 100% between you and your physical therapist. We are proud to provide physical therapy in this way. Not only does this method allow you the time to ask questions, learn about your body, and receive the undivided attention of your physical therapist, but it allows us the real-time opportunity to guide your care. In this way, every visit is an accelerated experience for collaboration, dialogue, and efficient progress toward your goals.

How long will I be in PT for?

We are dedicated to efficient advancement that is both medically necessary and empowering to you and your progress. How long you are with us is not dictated by any one factor. Your timeline and frequency will be discussed on your first day and revisited throughout your time with us. Know that our goals align with yours - to be back to your strongest self as soon as possible. Our therapists work hard to guide your healing, symptom management, and progression as safely and efficiently as possible.
