GETTING STARTED

WHAT TO EXPECT/FAQ

• What can I expect at my first appointment?

  During your first appointment, an experienced physical therapist will complete a comprehensive evaluation of your current condition, allowing them to determine the most appropriate course of treatment. Once a course of treatment has been established, you will be educated on what is going on with your condition. You will be provided with a prognosis for your recovery, and we will talk about the best treatment strategy to get you better, faster.

• Do I need a referral (prescription) from my physician to schedule an appointment or receive physical therapy services?

  No. Wyoming is a Direct Access state, which means you may come directly to a physical therapist for evaluation of your condition/injury. While you can come to physical therapy without a doctor's referral, the physical therapist may still recommend that you seek treatment from a physician depending on the findings at your evaluation appointment. Your insurance company may also require a doctor's prescription in order to cover your physical therapy treatments.
