How long will my treatment last?This is the most difficult question to answer because, it depends.... The length of your treatment will depend on your condition and your goals. Some people may only need a few sessions, while others may need several weeks or months of therapy. Since we use a hybrid method of treatment using our app to give you exercises at home, my patients usually only need 2-4 sessions per month. This method ensures you stay on track, receive the hands on care you need and ultimately, saves you time and money.

Do I need a referral from my doctor to receive physical therapy?In Florida you do not need a referral to be seen by a physical therapist. However, if after 30 days of therapy I do not see any improvements, I will refer you to a physician or orthopedic doctor to schedule a consult. Most clients who see me first and quickly after an injury, do not end up needing imaging or further referrals and will begin to see improvements after a few treatments sessions.
