Frequently Asked Questions
Health Insurance for physical therapy:
Most health insurance plans, including Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance, cover outpatient physical therapy if it is deemed medically necessary. Coverage details vary by plan, so it’s important to check with your insurance provider.
Your doctor’s referral is recommended, but not required.
Michigan allows restricted direct access to physical therapy, meaning you can see a physical therapist without a physician’s referral for up to 10 visits or 21 days, whichever comes first. Beyond that, a referral may be required by your insurance provider.
Michigan health insurance covers most medically necessary physical therapy.
Medically necessary physical therapy is treatment prescribed to address a specific injury, condition, or disability that affects your ability to perform daily activities. Your insurance provider will determine what qualifies under your plan.
Your health insurance may have limits on the number of physical therapy sessions covered.
Some insurance plans may limit the number of sessions covered annually. You can check your plan’s visit limits by contacting your insurance provider or letting us check it for you by visiting our Insurance Precheck Page.
Most plans require some out-of-pocket costs.
Out-of-pocket costs depend on your insurance plan. These may include co-pays, deductibles, or co-insurance. Before your first session in our clinic, you can work with our billing team to determine your financial responsibility.
What happens if I can’t afford the deductibles and out-of-pocket costs?
If your health insurance doesn’t cover physical therapy, we offer self-pay options or payment plans. Please let us know if you would like to discuss your options.
Can auto insurance or workers’ compensation cover your physical therapy?
Yes, auto insurance and workers’ compensation may cover physical therapy if the treatment is related to an accident or workplace injury. Please check with your employer or claims adjuster for more information about your unique situation.

Specializing in orthopedic rehabilitation.
Specializing in orthopedic rehabilitation, we focus on treating a wide range of conditions, both surgical and non-surgical. Additionally, our services include gait and balance programs. Furthermore, we offer general strengthening and conditioning programs for fall prevention and osteoporosis.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
One of our primary focuses is on rehabilitating patients who have undergone orthopedic surgery. Indeed, post-surgical rehabilitation is crucial for restoring function, reducing pain, and facilitating a smooth recovery. Moreover, our experienced therapists work closely with patients to develop personalized exercise regimens that improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion. Ultimately, this tailored approach ensures optimal healing and helps patients return to their daily activities as quickly as possible.
Non-Surgical Rehabilitation
Similarly, for those dealing with non-surgical orthopedic conditions, we provide comprehensive treatment plans aimed at alleviating pain and enhancing mobility. Additionally, our therapists are skilled in addressing a variety of issues, including arthritis, tendonitis, and bursitis. By employing techniques such as manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and modalities like ultrasound and electrical stimulation, we strive to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
Gait, Balance, and Fall Prevention
In addition to orthopedic-specific treatments, we offer gait and balance programs designed to improve stability and coordination. Specifically, these programs are particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced falls or have conditions that affect their balance, such as Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis. Through targeted exercises and balance training, patients can regain confidence and reduce the risk of future falls.
Strengthening and Conditioning
Another critical aspect of our services is general strengthening and conditioning programs for fall prevention and osteoporosis management. Consequently, these programs focus on enhancing overall strength, bone density, and functional independence. By incorporating weight-bearing exercises, resistance training, and flexibility routines, we help patients build a solid foundation for long-term health and wellness.
Holistic Approach
Overall, our holistic approach to orthopedic rehabilitation ensures that each patient receives individualized care, addressing their unique needs and goals for a successful recovery journey.
