Do I Need My Doctor to Refer Me to Physical Therapy?

The short answer is no!

Individuals can go immediately to a physical therapy clinic of their choosing and receive the treatment they need, thanks to Direct Access regulations.

Direct Access allows you to see a physical therapist without needing a prescription or referral from a doctor. Patients in all fifty states and the District of Columbia now have “direct access” to physical therapy treatments and programs.
