This video shows Julie Peterson, a physical therapist from Creighton Therapy and Wellness, discussing what to look for in a physical therapist when you need one.
She explains there are a number of considerations to consider. You should consider the location of the physical therapy.
You want to understand how other people feel about the location for physical therapy services. Your referral and insurance plan also matters when looking for a physical therapist.
You want to understand your in-network and out-of-network insurance benefits. This can help you determine the co-pay for which you may be responsible. You want to learn about physical therapists, including board certifications and specialty training. You may want to look for a physical therapist that specializes in your specific area of need.
You should consider how often you are going to need to see a physical therapist when you are deciding on the location. In addition, you should know the hours the therapy office is open. This may also help you determine if you want a location close to home or work.
