Direct Access

Did You Know You Can See a Physical Therapist Without a Referral?

Not everyone knows you can go directly to your physical therapist if you are dealing with pain or an injury. It doesn’t matter if you’re dealing with an old or new problem. In all 50 states, you can schedule a visit with one of our therapists to get help sooner than later.

In the medical community, Direct Access is the ability to see a physical therapist when you want to without getting permission from your physician or medical practitioner.

Physical therapists routinely assess and treat patients without a physician’s recommendation. You can call us directly at Freedom Physical Therapy & Performance in Dillsburg, PA, and we’ll schedule your appointment today! Direct Access eliminates wasting your time for the appointment to see a doctor, then the delays in getting a referral to physical therapy and waiting for an appointment to see the therapist.

Another benefit of seeing your physical therapist immediately is the cost savings. Beyond the cost of copayments to see your physician or being sent to a specialist paying another copay and finally getting sent to physical therapy, you can save money and see our team directly.

Direct Access is all about having the freedom to make your own decisions without being bound by outdated rules. It allows you to be in charge of your healthcare so you can focus on your recovery instead of waiting for another appointment to get you the help you need today!

Direct Access also helps you save money, schedule when you want, and speeds up your recovery so you can get relief and get back to doing what you love. If you have questions about Direct Access or would like to schedule an appointment with a physical therapist, contact Freedom Physical Therapy & Performance in Dillsburg, PA now!

Testimonials

After a severe lower leg fracture and several months of no mobility I was able to work with Scott and his team for my recovery. Being a very active person prior to my injury, getting back as close to my pre injury activity level was important to me.

“I live an active lifestyle and love to run. I thought that the pain I had through the years was just something to run through if I wanted to keep up with my sport. I was introduced to Scott and he helped me to understand there was a better way.”

“My experience working with Scott has been nothing but beneficial. I am paralyzed from the waist down and was told I was never going to walk again. Scott has helped me get back up on my feet and I am now able to walk with assistance.”

FAQs

Do I need to wear certain types of clothes for my appointments?

Dress comfortably with clothes that allow easy access for the therapist to examine your problem areas.

For treatments, loose fitting clothes that are comfortable for gentle exercises and supportive sneakers are often good choices to wear.

What should I do if I don’t have insurance?

For patients who do not have insurance, we offer a discounted fee, due at the time of service.

What should I know about physical therapy?

Physical therapy is a medical, hands-on approach to relieving pain and restoring function. Physical therapists are medical experts in musculoskeletal and neurological conditions and work closely with physicians.

Our physical therapists evaluate your movement patterns, identify the cause of your pain, and work to eliminate it.

While every patient’s condition and pain is unique, our physical therapist will use a variety of gentle hands-on techniques, exercises, and equipment to relieve pain quickly and restore your function to optimum levels.

The overall goal is to restore pain-free mobility and function and to prevent the injury or pain from recurring.

How can I schedule an appointment?

Our scheduling is easy and we offer a convenient location and appointment times for you. We have morning and evening appointments available to meet the demands of your busy schedule. Call us today or request an appointment.
