A physician referral is required to begin assessment and treatment. Patients will be assessed and individualized plans based on the individual diagnosis and physician orders. Because of different body types, patterns of movement, and alignments, therapy will be different for each patient and the number of treatments needed will vary. If you need to cancel or reschedule appointment, call 508-996-3991. We ask that you give 24 hours notice.
Please bring your physician referral with you. Be prepared to start your therapy at your first visit. Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing and sneakers or other comfortable shoes.
It is important for you to understand your insurance coverage for treatment. Because insurance plans vary in their coverage of physical therapy, it is your responsibility to contact your insurance carrier to determine eligibility, benefit information and authorization for services.
