FAQ
-
Do you need a prescription or referral to start physical therapy?
New York is a direct access state meaning you can be evaluated and treated without a prescription. However, if your treatment extends beyond 30 days or 10 visits, whichever comes first, you will need to see a physician for a referral.
-
Do I see the same therapist every time?
You will always be treated by the same physical therapist that you start with, except for special circumstances where scheduling difficulties exist.
-
Will someone guide me while I am exercising?
At Function Enhancing Physical therapy we strongly believe that all patients must be closely supervised and guided through their exercise program, and will never be left unattended.
-
What do I need to wear to physical therapy?
Wear comfortable loose fitting clothing and a pair of rubber soled shoes/sneakers.
