Physical Therapists are trained to evaluate and treat patients for movement concerns - whether that be pain, imbalance, weakness, etc. If Physical Therapy is unlikely to be your answer, we can assist in finding the right provider for you!
Though it can sometimes be helpful to see another provider, the state of Iowa does not require a patient to have a referral before seeing a Physical Therapist for most insurance groups. Call us today to find out if you need a referral.
We are credentialed to be an in-network provider for most major insurance policies. Contact us today to find out if this is true for you, or to learn about our cash pay options.
We highly suggest arriving 15 minutes early to complete this; otherwise, your first appointment may be shortened. Please bring your insurance cards and driver's license to be scanned into your chart.
Your Physical Therapist will work with you to find the right treatment plan - including scheduling and appointment lengths. However, most of our appointments will last 45 minutes to an hour.
You can wear anything to your appointments! Since we will likely be moving around the clinic, though, you may be more comfortable in leisurewear - shorts/sweats/etc. and tennis shoes.
That is certainly an option that can be discussed following an evaluation with a Physical Therapist. If your provider determines it is an appropriate option, there are opportunities to complete this in a shortened, cash pay sessions.
Blood flow restriction training is an extremely efficient and research-proven method to gain muscular strength and endurance, each of which can be important components to athletic performance.
