Can I bring my child to PT without a doctor’s referral?
In Oregon, you have Direct Access to physical therapy services, meaning you can schedule an evaluation without a physician referral. However, some insurance plans may still require a referral for reimbursement, so we recommend checking with your insurance provider.
If I use Direct Access, will my insurance still cover it?
While Oregon law allows direct access, insurance coverage varies by plan. Some plans require a physician referral for reimbursement. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to understand your specific benefits.
How will I know if therapy is working?
You and your physical therapist will set clear, measurable goals at your first visit and regularly assess your child’s progress. You’ll see improvements in your child’s movement, strength, function, and ability to participate in daily activities.
What happens between therapy sessions?
We’ll provide you with a home exercise program tailored to your child’s needs. Consistent practice at home is crucial for achieving the best outcomes.
When can my child return to sports after an injury?
Return-to-sport timing depends on the injury type and your child’s healing progress. We use objective testing (including VALD Force Decks when appropriate) to ensure your child is ready to safely return to their sport.
Will you communicate with my child’s doctor or school?
Yes, with your permission, we’re happy to coordinate care with your child’s physician, school, or other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive support.
Do I need a referral for my child to be seen?
In many cases, you don’t need a referral to schedule an appointment. However, some insurance providers may require one for reimbursement.

How is pediatric physical therapy different from adult physical therapy?
Pediatric physical therapy focuses on developmental milestones, growth patterns, and age-appropriate activities. With younger children, we use play-based therapy techniques to keep children engaged while addressing their specific needs. With older children, we use relatable age appropriate games, and sports activities to simulate PE or return to their favorite sport activity.
What should I expect during my child’s first visit?
Your first visit typically lasts 55-60 minutes and includes a comprehensive evaluation of your child’s or athlete’s movement patterns, strength, flexibility, and functional abilities. We’ll discuss your concerns, set goals together, and may begin some initial treatment activities.
What should my child wear to therapy?
Please have your child wear or bring comfortable, athletic clothing that allows easy movement. Depending on the area we’re treating, we may need access to specific body parts, so loose-fitting clothes work best.
How many sessions will my child need?
The ideal course of treatment is at least 6-8 visits, with most children attending once per week. However, every child is unique, and we’ll create a personalized treatment plan based on your child’s specific needs and progress.
Can my child/athlete be treated with telehealth?
Yes, as long as your insurance offers telehealth coverage, we are happy to help you where-ever your child/athlete feels comfortable seeing us. Our telehealth is HIPAA compliant and is performed with no extra cost.

What if I don’t have insurance or my insurance doesn’t cover pediatric PT?
We offer cash-based payment options with transparent pricing. This allows you to receive the care your child needs without insurance restrictions. Contact us to discuss our self-pay rates.
Will I have a copay or deductible?
This depends on your specific insurance plan. We recommend calling the number on the back of your insurance card to verify your physical therapy benefits, including any copay, deductible, or coinsurance requirements.
