Ever wondered what physical therapists actually do? You might have heard stories from friends about how physical therapy helped with their back pain or recovery from an injury. Let's break it down for you.
Physical therapists are experts in movement and function. They help people recover from various conditions, like orthopedic issues such as low back pain or knee surgeries, as well as assist stroke patients in regaining their mobility.
We don't just treat illnesses or injuries. Prevention is also a big part of what we do. We consult in work settings to make workplaces safer and even work with athletes to prevent injuries.
Physical therapy isn't just about exercises. We use a range of methods including hands-on care, joint mobilization, and even technologies like ultrasound. These approaches are designed to help you move better and live a fuller life.
We also educate you on how to manage your condition independently. This can include specific exercises or lifestyle changes you can make to improve your health.
Remember, only qualified physical therapists or physical therapist assistants under the supervision of physical therapists can provide this specialized care.
Most insurance plans cover physical therapy to some extent, and in all 50 states, you can access physical therapy directly without needing a doctor's referral in many cases.
So, whether you're recovering from an injury, looking to prevent one, or wanting to optimize your movement and overall function, we at RehabSpot are here to help you every step of the way.

The road to recovery doesn't end when your sessions do. Maintaining the gains you've made is a vital part of the healing process, and we at RehabSpot will equip you with the tools you need for long-term success.
Curious about the costs of your medical care at RehabSpot? You have a right to know, thanks to the No Surprise Act.
Whether you're uninsured or simply not using insurance for your treatment, you're entitled to receive a written "Good Faith Estimate" outlining the expected costs. This includes not just the therapy sessions but also related expenses like tests, medications, and any required equipment.
Make sure to ask for this estimate at least one business day before your scheduled service. This helps you understand what you'll be responsible for financially.
If you end up receiving a bill that's at least $400 more than the estimated amount, you have the right to dispute it.
At RehabSpot, we are committed to transparency and aim to keep you well-informed so there are no surprises when it comes to your care and its cost.
Wondering why you might consider paying out-of-pocket at RehabSpot instead of using your insurance at another clinic? Here's why:
Insurance-based clinics often rely on assistants and less-experienced clinicians to treat multiple patients simultaneously. At RehabSpot, your treatment is one-on-one, led by highly qualified therapists.
No need to wait for a physician's referral or for an available appointment slot. At RehabSpot, we can start treating you right away.
Our hands-on, individualized approach has proven to yield faster and better outcomes. You won't be given "cookie-cutter" exercises that you could easily do at home.
We aim to get you back to your best with fewer sessions, saving you both time and money in the long run.
Although there's an out-of-pocket expense, most of our patients find that the quality and efficiency of our care make it a worthwhile investment in their health.
At RehabSpot, our priority is to provide you with high-quality, efficient care that gets you back to feeling your best as quickly as possible.
Absolutely, you can! After wrapping up your treatment, we'll hand over a detailed master reimbursement receipt. This document contains all the information your insurance company needs for you to file a claim.
If you haven't met your annual deductible, your payment should count towards it. And if you've already met your deductible, your insurance should review the claim and reimburse you for a portion of the cost. Rest assured, we make the process as smooth as possible for you to get reimbursed.
If you're not experiencing relief from your pain, there could be a variety of factors at play. Often, the root cause of the pain may not have been correctly identified yet. The key to alleviating discomfort is pinpointing the real issue that's triggering your symptoms. Once we identify it, we can tailor a treatment plan specifically designed to address and resolve your issue. Rest assured, our team is dedicated to helping you get back to feeling your best.
Understanding the financial aspects of your healthcare is crucial, especially when navigating the increasingly complicated landscape of health insurance. In simple terms, a deductible is the amount you must pay out-of-pocket before your insurance kicks in and covers the remaining costs. Deductibles are an important consideration when seeking physical therapy services or any other healthcare treatment.
Why does this matter for you? Deductibles have been rising steadily, and it's not uncommon to see amounts ranging from $1,000 to $5,000 or more. If you're dealing with an issue like low back pain and have a high-deductible plan, the cost of conventional care—comprising physician visits, diagnostic tests, medications, and regular physical therapy—can quickly add up to $3,000 to $5,000.
At RehabSpot, our goal is to offer you high-quality care that leads to better outcomes in fewer visits, at a substantially lower out-of-pocket cost. For example, your entire treatment plan with us may cost you between $750 and $1,800. This could result in a 50% reduction in costs compared to conventional care, while also saving you time.
In addition to deductibles, don't forget about co-pays, which are fixed amounts you pay for each visit, and coinsurance, a percentage of the overall bill you'll be responsible for after your treatment is completed. Knowing these numbers upfront can help you make a more informed decision about your healthcare options. At RehabSpot, we aim to give you the most value for your time and money.
We speak both English and Spanish.
