Questions

Do I need a referral to see a physical therapist?

Generally, most patients do not need a referral to see a physical therapist for certain conditions. Louisiana allows patients to access physical therapy services without a referral for up to 30 days. After that, if therapy is still required, a referral from a doctor or healthcare provider may be needed. It’s always a good idea to check with your insurance provider, as some insurance plans may require a referral before covering physical therapy services.

What can I expect during my first physical therapy session?

Your first visit will typically include an initial evaluation, where your therapist will assess your range of motion, strength, posture, and overall function. They will then create a personalized treatment plan based on their findings to achieve the best possible outcome from your therapy sessions.

How long will each physical therapy session last?

Most sessions last between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment plan and the complexity of your condition.

How many physical therapy sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies based on your condition and goals. Your therapist will give you an estimate after the initial evaluation, but it may change. We will provide you with frequent updates on your condition to keep you notified of your progress.

What types of conditions can physical therapy treat?

Physical therapy can help with a wide range of conditions, including back and neck pain, arthritis, sports injuries, post-surgical recovery, neurological disorders, balance problems, and more.

Will physical therapy help me avoid surgery?

In many cases, physical therapy can reduce pain and improve function enough to avoid the need for surgery, or to prepare you for surgery to optimize recovery. Most of our patients have undergone surgery or experienced a chronic illness and are using physical therapy to regain function.

Do I need to do exercises at home?

Yes, your therapist will likely give you exercises to do at home between sessions to enhance your progress and speed up recovery. These at-home exercises can reduce the number of physical therapy sessions a patient may need, reducing costs and improving outcomes.

How do I know if physical therapy is right for me?

If you have pain, injury, or difficulty with movement, physical therapy may be helpful. Speak with your doctor or a physical therapist to determine if therapy is the right course of action for your condition. Contact your general practitioner to discuss your needs first, and we’ll work closely with them to develop a personalized treatment plan that supports your recovery and helps you get back to doing what you love.
