What is Direct Access to Physical Therapy?
Direct Access to Physical Therapy is a healthcare model that allows patients to see a licensed physical therapist without the need for a referral from a physician for the first 30 days. After the 30 days, you can still get more visits with out streamlined aproach and collaboration with your referring physician. This approach emphasizes patient autonomy and reduces the barriers that can sometimes hinder people from seeking prompt and effective physical therapy care.
