1. Do you accept my insurance?
    We participate with most major health insurance and Workers’ Compensation carriers.  Our office staff will be glad to answer specific questions regarding your insurance coverage.
  1. Do I need a prescription for physical therapy?
    While a prescription for physical therapy is not required by Connecticut state law, certain insurance providers will not pay for physical therapy services without a valid prescription from a physician. If you do not have a prescription, we can schedule an evaluation to determine your need for physical therapy treatment and contact your physician to request a prescription if needed. Our staff can help you determine your insurance carrier’s requirements.  For more information regarding physical therapy treatment without a physician’s referral, CLICK HERE.
  1. How long does each appointment last?
    Most appointments last approximately one hour.
  1. How do I schedule an appointment?

  1. What should I wear to my appointment?
    You should wear comfortable clothing that provides access to the area that will be treated.  Many patients choose to wear loose fitting exercise clothing and sneakers.

    Our physical therapists will develop a customized treatment plan for you that will help you heal quickly so you can return to your previous level of fitness.
  1. Will physical therapy be painful?
    The goal of physical therapy is to alleviate pain, not make it worse.  Your physical therapist is trained to offer manual therapy and teach you an exercise plan that you can perform without pain.
  1. How much will each visit cost?
    Your responsibility for payment at each visit will be based on your insurance benefits.  Depending on your benefits, you may be responsible for a co-payment or deductible.  Our office staff will be happy to give you an estimate of your financial responsibility at your first appointment.
