How do I become a patient?

Getting started, we encourage you to talk with your primary care physician about any conditions that may be causing pain or restricting activities. Once you receive a prescription for outpatient therapy, you can contact us to schedule your first appointment. Be sure to bring your insurance card with you to your therapy appointment.


How long are my therapy sessions?

For physical, occupational or speech therapy, initial evaluations are scheduled for 45-60 minutes. The therapist will then establish a treatment plan with recommendations for frequency and duration of therapy based on your prescription and diagnosis.


What do I wear to my therapy appointments?

We encourage you to wear clothes that are comfortable and easy to move around in. Socks and rubber soled shoes are also recommended.
