In most cases, no. Alabama is a direct access state, meaning you can schedule an appointment with a physical therapist without a physician's referral. However, some insurance plans may still require one, so it's always a good idea to check with your provider beforehand.

We treat a wide range of conditions including orthopedic injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, back and neck pain, chronic pain, balance and fall prevention, and general strength and mobility concerns. If you're unsure whether physical therapy is right for your condition, give us a call — we're happy to help point you in the right direction. Visit our What We Treat page for a comprehensive list.

Your first visit is an evaluation where your therapist will take time to learn about your symptoms, medical history, and goals. From there, they'll develop a personalized treatment plan tailored specifically to you. Plan to arrive a few minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork.

Every patient is different. The length of your treatment depends on your condition, your goals, and how your body responds to therapy. Your therapist will discuss a recommended timeline with you during your initial evaluation and will adjust your plan as you progress.

We accept most major insurances. We also offer affordable options for those who do not have PT coverage. Please call the office for specific rates, payment plans, or policy-specific questions. Call the Daphne clinic at 251-626-9052 or the Bay Minette clinic at 251-937-4700.

Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing is best. Depending on your area of treatment, your therapist may need access to your knee, shoulder, or back, so keep that in mind when getting dressed for your visit.

We're a locally owned practice that truly invests in our patients. From the moment you walk in the door—likely greeted by Atlas or Bella—you'll notice we take the time to get to know you personally. We believe in building real relationships, celebrating your progress, and supporting you every step of the way back to the life you love.
