Patient Center

What actually happens when you walk in.

Your first appointment is an evaluation, and it is one on one with your therapist from start to finish. You are not handed to an aide and you are not shared across a gym floor. We talk through what is going on, how long it has been going on, and what you are trying to get back to doing. Then we measure: movement, strength, balance, whatever the problem calls for.

You leave that visit knowing what we found, what we believe is driving it, and what the plan looks like from here.

What to bring.

• Your prescription, if a physician gave you one
• A photo ID or driver’s licence
• A list of your current medications, with dosage and frequency
• Your personal calendar, so the rest of your visits can be booked before you leave
• Your insurance cards, or your Worker’s Compensation or auto claim information
• Copies of any X-ray, MRI or CT reports related to the problem

You probably do not need a referral.

Kansas direct access lets most patients start physical therapy without a physician referral, so you can call today and be evaluated. Some insurance plans do still require a referral for coverage, so we verify your specific plan before your first visit and tell you exactly where you stand. You will never find out about a requirement after the fact. There is more detail on direct access, and you can check what we accept on the insurance page.

The rest of the patient center.

Forms first. You can complete your intake documents on the paperwork page, and if you would rather answer questions about your specific problem ahead of time, the pre-exam forms are sorted by body area and by clinic. Both are optional. Both give your therapist a head start.

Still deciding? The FAQ answers the questions people ask before they pick up the phone, and a discovery visit is a straight conversation about whether therapy is even the right answer for what you are dealing with.

Already moving well and want to keep it that way? The Annual PT Exam is a yearly movement check, a wellness plan keeps you working after discharge, and a home safety screening looks at the rooms where falls actually happen.
