Before Your First Visit

- • Ask whether you need a referral — even in direct-access states, some plans require one for reimbursement.
- • Wear comfortable clothing — loose clothes and sneakers let you move freely during the evaluation.

- • Confirm the credential — licensed physical therapists hold a DPT (or MPT/BPT) and an active state license.
