FAQs

Physical Therapy
What happens during a visit?

Every visit is different but at the first visit we will discuss your concerns and goals, do a thorough examination of your posture, function, strength and range of motion. We may also do a pelvic floor examination vaginally or rectally with your consent.

 
Does treatment change depending on my condition? Can’t I just do kegels at home?

No treatment is the same because no 2 people are exactly the same. Kegels may be a part of your treatment but it is important we evaluate your needs in order to prescribe the right treatment for you. And really, haven't you already been doing kegels and they didn't work?  We've got way more tools than that to help you!

 

Can I avoid surgery with PT?  I was told I needed surgery, can PT help me?

In most cases, physical therapy is very beneficial and many of our patients decide not to have surgery.  Those that do end up having surgery are happy that their symptoms improved and they are more knowledgeable and physically prepared for surgery resulting in better symptom resolution.

 

How many visits do I need? How long til I see changes?

We don't give out a cookie cutter plan like other clinic. At the first visit we'll discuss your goals and figure out what's causing your symptoms. Together we'll create a plan to meet your goals! On average, most people feel better in 1 week. 

Do I need a referral from a doctor?

Currently in Texas, you do not need a referral for physical therapy for the first month. As a courtesy to you, we will request a referral from your medical provider.  If you were referred someone else but know you want to work with us we can accept a copy of that referral or contact your provider for a new referral.

Do you take insurance?

Our services are covered under out-of-network benefits on your plan. We do not bill insurance directly but you may submit a superbill (we provide at each appointment) to your insurance and request reimbursement. If you have a high deductible plan you're often paying $500-750 for each visit at a hospital-based clinic, you get a huge bill 6 months later or you have to pay for add-ons like dry needling, biofeedback,  or imaging.   We don't play games and there's no surprises. Working with us is a flat rate and all testing and treatment is covered!
