The terms physiotherapy and physical therapy are synonymous.

Physical therapy can help you move better and relieve pain. It is used to improve or restore your physical function and your fitness level. The goal of physical therapy is to make daily tasks and activities easier. It can also help with recovery after surgery. Your doctor or surgeon may suggest physical therapy for injuries or long-term health problems.

Yes, our physical therapists are licensed by the State of Tennessee and have earned a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree.

Manual therapy is skilled passive movement of joints and soft tissues.  Manual therapists use specific hand placements and forces to restore normal movement to joints and soft tissues. Manual therapy is used in conjunction with other physical therapy techniques such as exercise and modalities.

This is called direct access. In the state of Tennessee, patients have direct access to physical therapy for up to 90 consecutive days. If the patient continues to need physical therapy services following the 90 calendar days, then the patient must have consent from an appropriate physician. An exception is that the patient must be referred by the physical therapist to an appropriate physician if the patient has not made progress after 30 consecutive days. Please note: some insurance companies still require a physician’s referral prior to treatment. Contact our office for assistance in determining if you need a referral prior to physical therapy.

In most cases, you should start physical therapy immediately.  The sooner you have your first appointment; the sooner you will be out of pain! Our clinic aims to offer all new patient appointments with less than a 2-week wait.

Loose fitting, comfortable clothing that allows the therapist to access the affected regions of the body. Exercise wear is recommended.

In most cases, you have the right to choose any physical therapy clinic. Our practice is an in-network provider for many different insurance plans. You can bring any referral order to any physical therapy clinic. This includes going to an outside clinic (a clinic that does not have financial interest with an MD or group of Medical Doctors) such as New Motion Physical Therapy, Inc.

A number of variables should go into your decision when choosing a clinic: one-on-one time with the therapist, insurance benefits, physician referral, location, hours of operation, convenience, wait time, scheduling conflicts, reviews, family or friends’ referral, etc.
