This is something that I have been waiting my whole PT career for and it has finally come to fruition this summer. Recently, Governor Abbott signed into law a bill that will finally give patients in Texas direct access to physical therapy. What does this mean to you? It means that you can finally come directly to me for treatment rather than going to see your doctor first, thus saving you time and money, and allowing you to get back to doing everything more quickly. It’s about time! The law will go into effect September 1st of this year, so until then, the same law requiring a prescription for PT treatment applies. There are details to be sorted out, but as your physical therapist, I will still be in contact with your provider to maintain open communication about your care.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions at all or if I can help you with any physical therapy needs. I am also offering fitness and wellness assessments (no prescription needed) to provide preventive measures to help you avoid injury with your workouts and daily activities. Have a great summer!
