Physical therapy provides services for people of all ages, from newborns to the very oldest, when medical problems or other health-related conditions limit their ability to move and function in their daily lives. A physical therapist will examine you and develop a treatment plan to increase your ability to move, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability.

The goals of physical therapy are to improve your mobility (such as walking, going up stairs, or getting in and out of bed), to relieve your pain, and to restore your physical function and overall fitness. Depending on your injury, disease, or condition, you may need to work on flexibility, strength, endurance, coordination, and/or balance. To do this, your treatment may focus on preventing problems or treating problems that affect:

Your muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones (musculoskeletal system). Your nerves and related muscles (neuromuscular system). Your heart and related blood vessels (cardiovascular system). Your lungs and breathing (pulmonary system). Your skin, including wounds and burns. Any combination of two or more of these.

Please call your insurance company to find out if Axis is an in-network provider. It may also be helpful to ask about your physical therapy coverage and how your deductables apply.

In this case, we may see you as a cash patient. Please call our office to inquire about our rates and possible payment plan options.

Make sure you bring your physical therapy referral (provided to you by your doctor) and your payment information.

If your insurance is covering the cost of physical therapy, bring your insurance card.

If you are covered by Workers’ Compensation, bring your claim number and your case manager’s contact information.

If you are covered by auto insurance or an attorney lien, make sure you bring this information.

Lastly, bring your smile 🙂

Loose-fitting comfortable clothes should be worn to allow optimal movement and comfort.

Your appointment will generally last 1 hour. Your initial evaluation is also 1 hour.
