Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about physical and occupational therapy

What conditions do you treat?

We treat a wide range of conditions including back pain, neck pain, sports injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, arthritis, balance disorders, and workplace injuries. Our team specializes in both acute and chronic conditions.

How long does physical therapy take?

Treatment duration varies based on your condition, goals, and response to therapy. Most patients see improvement within 2-4 weeks, with complete recovery typically taking 6-12 weeks. We'll discuss your specific timeline during your initial evaluation.

Do I need a referral from my doctor?

In Michigan, you can receive physical therapy services without a physician referral for up to 10 days or visits, whichever comes first. However, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider and checking with your insurance for coverage requirements.

What should I expect during my first visit?

Your first visit includes a comprehensive evaluation where we'll discuss your medical history, assess your movement and strength, and develop a personalized treatment plan. We'll also explain your condition and set realistic goals together.
