FAQ

Yes, you can! In Missouri, Limited Direct Access allows you to see a licensed physical therapist without a doctor’s referral for an evaluation and treatment for up to 10 visits or 30 days, whichever comes first. This means you can start addressing your pain or movement concerns right away, saving time and getting on the path to recovery sooner.
If treatment is needed beyond this period, a healthcare provider will need to evaluate your treatment plan and provide a referral. Once the referral is submitted, treatment can continue as needed to help you achieve your goals. Our team is happy to assist in coordinating with a healthcare provider to ensure a seamless transition if ongoing care is required.
