Frequently Asked Questions

Are rehabilitation services covered by insurance?

Rehabilitation services are fully or partially covered by most health insurance plans. Most managed care insurance plans require a pre-authorization for rehabilitation services.

What should I expect from outpatient rehabilitation?

Starting outpatient rehabilitation is a personalized journey tailored to your specific recovery. Whether you're regaining mobility after a stroke, managing carpal tunnel or returning to sport after an injury, we can help you get back to doing what you love. Here is a brief overview of the process.

Phase 1: The Comprehensive Assessment
Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation by our clinical team. This initial visit includes a review of your medical history, physical health and mental well-being. By understanding your lifestyle and unique challenges, we create a customized treatment plan designed to help you reach your specific recovery goals.

Phase 2: Regular Therapy Sessions
While every session is different, your appointments will focus on a mix of hands-on treatment and functional practice. We address a wide range of needs, including:

  • Mobility & Balance: Targeted exercises and manual therapy.
  • Daily Living Skills: Self-care, cooking and independent living tasks.
  • Specialized Recovery: Speech, cognition, swallowing and more
  • Education: Understanding your condition and how to manage it at home.

All our therapy sessions offer individualized care with undivided attention for every patient. There are many benefits to one-on-one care, including additional focus on the patient to ensure exercises and activities are performed correctly to maximize effectiveness; awareness of the specific needs and progress of the patient to adapt the treatment plan when needed; and direct instruction and detailed expectations for exercises to be completed outside of therapy sessions to improve progression. When therapists are able to provide care to one patient at a time, patients may require fewer treatments to meet their rehabilitation goals. It is our goal to get you back to the life and activities you love so you can live your healthiest life.
