Common Questions
What people ask before they book.
01 / Do I need a referral to see a physical therapist in Illinois?
No. Illinois Direct Access lets you see a licensed physical therapist without a doctor's referral, up to 10 visits or 15 business days, whichever comes first. Some insurance plans still ask for a referral of their own. If yours does, we will tell you before your first visit and help you sort it out rather than letting you find out on the bill.
02 / Do you take my insurance?
We are in-network with BCBS, PPO plans and Medicare. Coverage varies a lot between plans inside the same carrier, so call us with your card and we will verify your specific benefits before you come in. You should know what your visits cost before the first one, not after.
03 / What actually happens at my first visit?
You talk first. We want the history, what you have already tried, and where it stopped working. Then a licensed physical therapist assesses how your whole body moves, not just the area that hurts, and explains in plain language what is driving it. You leave with a plan that was written for your body and your week, and hands-on treatment usually starts that same visit.
04 / I have already tried physical therapy and it did not work. Why would this be different?
Because most of the time the problem was never the painful spot. If the assessment only looked at where it hurt, whatever was actually driving it never got treated, which is why it came back. Our approach is brain-based: it accounts for the nervous system's role in how you move and how you heal, it is one-on-one, and it is never one-size-fits-all. We also do not stop at good enough. The Road to Recovery keeps going past the point where the pain quiets down, so you build resilience instead of waiting on the next flare.
05 / How long until I feel a change?
It depends on what is going on and how long it has been going on, and anyone who quotes you a number before assessing you is guessing. Some patients tell us they felt a real difference after one visit. What we commit to is measuring how you move at the start, re-measuring as we go, and changing the plan when the plan is not working. If it is not moving, you will hear that from us.
