Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a doctor's referral to start physical therapy?

In Maryland, you can begin physical therapy without a physician's referral under direct access laws. However, some insurance plans may require a referral for coverage. We recommend calling our office before your first visit and we'll help you determine what your specific plan requires.

What insurances do you accept?

We are in-network with a wide range of insurance providers, including Medicare, Medicaid, Aetna, Cigna, BCBS, Carefirst, Tricare, United Health Care, and many more. If you don't see your carrier on our list, please call us — we're always expanding our network and will do our best to verify your coverage.

What should I expect at my first appointment?

Your first visit begins with a one-on-one evaluation with one of our licensed physical therapists. We'll review your medical history, discuss your goals, assess your movement and strength, and develop a personalized treatment plan. Please print and complete your new patient paperwork before arriving to make the most of your time.

How long does a typical physical therapy session last?

Most sessions run between 45 and 60 minutes. The length and frequency of your visits will depend on your condition and treatment plan. Your therapist will walk you through the recommended schedule during your initial evaluation.

What treatment methods do you use?

We use a variety of evidence-based approaches tailored to each patient's needs. These include manual therapy (such as soft tissue mobilization and joint manipulation), therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular re-education, mechanical traction, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and strength and conditioning programs.
