Finding a Physical Therapist

Issues to consider

(HealthDayNews) -- If an injury or aching muscle has left you in need of a physical therapist, the American Physical Therapy Association suggests you ask potential practitioners the following questions before signing up for treatment:

  • Are you a licensed physical therapist in my state?
  • How much experience do you have treating people with my condition?
  • Do you have the equipment to treat my condition?
  • Will you accept Medicare, and what are your payment policies?
  • How will my treatment program be determined?
  • How long will my treatment sessions last?
  • How long might I need treatment?
