Before your first visit
Questions patients ask us first
Do I need a doctor's referral?
No. Oregon lets you see a physio directly. A few plans ask for a referral after a set number of visits, and we check that for you before you book.
How many visits will I need?
Most patients finish in 6 to 8. You'll hear our honest estimate at the end of your first assessment, and we retest as we go.
What should I wear?
Shorts for a knee or ankle, a tank top for a shoulder, and your running shoes if running hurts. We have changing rooms if you're coming from work.
Will my insurance cover it?
We bill most Oregon plans directly and confirm your copay and visit limit before visit 1, so there are no surprise bills.
What if I need to cancel?
Move or cancel up to 24 hours ahead online or by text, at no charge. Later than that, we charge a $40 late fee.
