Do I need Physical Therapy?
Sadly, not a lot of people even know what the heck physical therapy (AKA physiotherapy) is. It's not an easy thing to define. When it comes down to it, Physical Therapists are human movement experts.
PTs are the preferred provider for the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular injuries, as well as other conditions such as chronic pain, deconditioning, vestibular (balance) and neurological disorders, developmental delays, and post-surgical recovery.
In California, PTs are direct access providers--you do not need a referral. However, your insurance may require you to see your PCP first before offering coverage.
