What people ask before they come

In Kansas, you can start without a referral. Your plan may still ask for one. A work injury claim is different: the adjuster or doctor usually has to authorize care first, and your plan may still ask for one. We confirm before your first visit.

We bill workers' compensation claims, auto medical coverage and most PPO plans. We check your card or your claim before the first visit and call you with what we find.

You get a written estimate before your first visit, and we tell you the fee in writing before you book. See how fees work for the details.

A first visit is about an hour with a physical therapist. Later visits are set by your plan, and a physical therapist assistant may lead part of a session under the therapist's direction.

It depends on your doctor's orders, the demands of your job, how your body responds and what your claim authorizes. Your therapist updates the plan as you go and tells you what to expect.

Clothes you can move in and closed shoes. Bring your claim number, a job description if you have one, and any orders or restrictions from your doctor.

We work within what you can tolerate and tell you what to expect before each new step. Tell your therapist right away if something feels wrong.

Some check-ins can be by video for people in Kansas, where we are licensed. Testing, conditioning and hardening are in person.

Tell us who your adjuster is. Your state decides who may direct your care. We treat you and write the reports; we do not handle your claim.

Conditioning builds general capacity for a job. Hardening practices the real tasks of the job, in longer blocks that grow toward a full shift. Your therapist and doctor choose with you.
