Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a prescription for physical therapy?

In most cases, you can begin PT in California without a physician referral. Some plans (including Medicare) may still require a signed prescription. We’ll help you confirm what your insurance needs before treatment starts.

What can I expect during my first visit?

After check-in, your therapist will complete a comprehensive evaluation, discuss your goals, and create a plan tailored to you. When appropriate, treatment begins on day one so you can start feeling better immediately.

What should I wear and bring?

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy movement and access to the area being treated (shorts for knee issues, a tank top for shoulder problems). Bring your photo ID, insurance card, and any relevant medical notes or imaging.

How soon can I be seen?

We do our best to schedule new patients within 48 hours. Early morning and evening appointments may be available.

What to Expect From Our Care

Your plan is individualized and evidence-based, blending hands-on therapy with movement science. Depending on your needs, your therapist may integrate elements from our core services—Sports Medicine, Comprehensive Spine Care, and Post-Surgical Rehabilitation—to help you progress efficiently and safely.
