Care tailored specifically to your needs

What sets Physical Therapy Associates apart from other clinics is our personalized approach to care. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy plans. Instead, we take the time to get to know you, understand the root of your pain, and create a treatment plan that’s uniquely tailored to your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions do you treat at your physical therapy clinic?

We can treat anything from a stub toe to a traumatic brain injury and everything in between. Visit our About page to view a comprehensive list of all the Orthopedic and Neurological conditions we treat.

How long does each physical therapy session last?

A typical session lasts 45 minutes to an hour, with the first visit (evaluation) taking about an hour. Some treatments, like post-ACL surgery therapy, may take up to 1.5 hours.

Will my insurance cover physical therapy?

Most health insurance plans, including Medicare and private insurance, cover physical therapy if it’s deemed medically necessary. However, coverage may vary based on your specific plan, and there could be limits on the number of sessions or a requirement for prior authorization. It’s important to check with your insurance provider for details.

Can physical therapy help prevent future injuries?

Yes, physical therapy can help prevent future injuries by improving your strength, flexibility, and posture. We will teach you exercises and techniques that enhance your body’s ability to handle physical stress, reducing the risk of re-injury or new injuries.

Do I need a doctor’s referral to start physical therapy?

You do not need a doctor’s referral to start physical therapy in Connecticut. However, some insurance plans may require a referral for coverage, so it’s best to check with your insurance provider to confirm their policy.

What should I wear to my physical therapy appointments?

It’s best to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows you to move freely. Depending on the area being treated, you might want to wear shorts, a t-shirt, or athletic wear. For example, if you’re working on your legs, shorts are a good option; for upper body treatment, a loose shirt is ideal.

How quickly can I expect to see results from physical therapy?

The timeline for seeing results depends on your specific condition and how often you attend therapy sessions. Some patients start feeling better after a few sessions, while others may need several weeks or months of consistent therapy to notice significant improvement. We will work with you to set realistic goals.

What should I do if I experience pain or discomfort during therapy?

If you experience pain or discomfort during therapy, you should immediately let us know. Some soreness is normal as your body adjusts to the exercises, but sharp or unusual pain should be addressed right away. We may modify the exercises or adjust the intensity to ensure your comfort and safety.
