What is Physical Therapy?

Physical therapy is a specialized healthcare practice focused on evaluating and treating movement dysfunction to alleviate pain and restore function in individuals who have experienced disease, injury, or trauma. Physical therapists use clinical assessments, such as special tests and differential diagnosis techniques, to identify the precise source of a patient’s discomfort. Then, they create a personalized treatment plan aimed at resolving pain and helping patients regain pain-free movement and function.

How do I know if physical therapy is right for me?

Physical therapy can be beneficial for a wide variety of individuals—whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or simply aiming to improve your mobility and overall wellness. If you’re unsure about whether physical therapy aligns with your specific needs, contact us to discuss your symptoms and current condition. Our experienced team will listen to your concerns, assess your personal situation, and help you determine the best course of action to restore comfort and function in your day-to-day life.

I’m not an athlete. Can I still choose the PT Zone for physical therapy?

Absolutely! Physical therapy is not just for athletes—anyone with pain, mobility issues, or injuries can benefit. At The PT Zone, we develop individualized treatment plans for every person who walks through our doors, focusing on the unique challenges and specific injuries at hand.

Do you have parking on site?

Yes! We provide off-street parking for our patients’ convenience. You’ll find a dedicated parking lot right in front of our clinic, making it easy and stress-free to arrive for your appointment.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Before your initial visit to our clinic, please fill out our patient intake forms online. This will help streamline your check-in process and ensure we have the necessary information to provide you with the best care possible.

When you arrive in person, please bring the following:

• Insurance card: We’ll make a copy to verify your coverage.
• Prescription or referral (if required): Only needed if your referring physician provided one.
• Motor Vehicle Accident or Worker’s Compensation details: Make sure to have your claim number, insurance adjuster’s name, and lawyer’s contact information ready.

Please arrive 10 minutes early to complete any remaining forms. This will help us start your session on time and make the most of your visit. We also recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows easy access to any injured or affected areas. This helps our physical therapists conduct a thorough examination and provide effective treatment.

Does insurance cover my treatment?

In most cases, insurance does cover physical therapy—but because every plan is different, coverage can vary. We’ll gladly contact your insurance company on your behalf to verify the specific benefits of your policy. It’s also a good idea to call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card to gain a clear understanding of your personal coverage.

If you’re curious about whether we’re in-network with your provider, please check the list provided at the top of this page. It’s important to remember that while we’re here to assist, understanding the details of your policy ultimately remains the patient’s responsibility.

What if I don’t have insurance?

If you don’t have insurance coverage—or if The PT Zone isn’t within your network—we offer flexible self-payment options so you can still receive the care you need. To help you plan and budget, you can find our current rates listed at the top of this page.

What type of payment do you accept?

We welcome both cash and credit card payments at our clinic. As part of our policy, all payments should be made at the time of your appointment, ensuring a smooth and efficient visit for all patients.

How long do the sessions last?

Your initial appointment typically runs about 60 minutes to allow enough time for a thorough assessment and personalized treatment planning. Follow-up sessions usually last 45 to 60 minutes, depending on your specific needs and progress. This ensures that each visit provides the focused care you need to optimize your recovery and improve your overall function.

How many sessions will I have?

During your initial evaluation, your physical therapist will conduct a thorough assessment of your condition and determine a personalized plan of care. The recommended number of visits will vary based on factors such as your diagnosis, severity of symptoms, and individual goals. Your therapist will explain the ideal treatment frequency and duration so you know exactly what to expect as you work toward a complete and lasting recovery.
