Do I need my doctor to refer me to receive physiotherapy treatment?
Don’t have a prescription for physiotherapy? No problem!
Thanks to Direct Access laws, the government allows individuals to go straight to a physiotherapy clinic of their choice and receive the resources and treatment they require.
Direct Access allows you to go directly to a physiotherapist without the need for a physician’s prescription or referral. All fifty states and the District of Columbia have made a ruling enabling patients “direct access” to physiotherapy services and programs.
