How to see a Body Zone Physical Therapist:

To see a physical therapist at Body Zone Physical Therapy, you can be referred by a healthcare provider, or opt for self-referral under Pennsylvania’s Direct Access Law.

Pennsylvania is one of many states that allow physical therapists to evaluate and treat, under certain conditions, patients without a referral from a physician for 30 days. After 30 days, you must obtain a physician’s referral to continue your treatment plan. Call your insurance plan before making an appointment to verify coverage.
