FAQs
Each treatment session will run approximately 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 min depending on your injury and the level of care you require.
Your first visit will encompass filling out proper paper work for you to be seen and an initial evaluation from your physical therapist. Sometimes your initial evaluation visit can last longer than your typical treatment visits. Also, you will receive a home exercise program (if PT deems suitable) for you to complete at home on days you do not come in for physical therapy. Please dress in clothes that can allow access to your injured area for treatment.
PT prescription/script/referral from your physician
Insurance card & applicable co-payment
Insurance referral/authorization, if required
X-ray or MRI reports (not films), if applicable
Clothing to allow evaluation of injured area
In order to easily evaluate and treat the affected area, you should wear (or bring) loose fitting, comfortable clothing and sneakers (ie. wear shorts for a knee problem, and t-shirt/tank top for shoulder problem).
Here at OFF-SEASON Sports and Physical Therapy we take all major insurances. However, cash pay options are available if we do not take your insurance (payment plans upon request. Please call for options).
This varies depending upon injury and what you would like to have done. Typically a full 1 hour physical therapy treatment is $85 ($75 for affiliates). An initial evaluation cost is $150 (($125 for affiliates).
Physical Therapy is a health profession that assesses and provides treatment to individuals to develop, maintain, and restore maximum movement and function throughout life. This includes providing treatment in circumstances where movement and function are threatened by aging, injury, disease or environmental factors.
At OFF-SEASON we treat a wide spectrum of musculoskeletal injuries. We treat anything from a basic muscle strain to complicated post-operative procedures.
Our hours are Monday through Thursday, 8am to 6pm, Friday 8am to 5pm and Saturdays 8am to 12pm.
It all depends on the severity of your injury but usually patients come to therapy two times weekly.
You may or may not have to see a physician prior to therapy. Usually, PPO insurances do not need a primary care visit prior to PT where with an HMO, a primary care consult is required prior to PT. Depending on the terms of your plan, your PCP may need to process an insurance referral for authorization for treatment. This is patient responsibility to obtain prior to treatment.
