Direct access creates fewer steps between your pain and receiving the care that you need. Studies have shown that those who sought direct access from a physical therapist, rather than visiting your primary care doctor, found greater satisfaction and used significantly fewer pharmaceuticals than in the care of their physician. At your first visit, you’ll gain direct access to a physical therapist, speeding up the time between your first contact with a medical professional, and your return to improved health. During your first visit, an injury screening is offered to ensure you receive the best recommendation for your care.
