Had nothing short if an amazing experience. They always greet you with an smile and are always looking forward to working with you and your medical needs. All of the workers from the receptionist to physical therapy assistants are very knowledgeable and open to working with you. Special shout out to Gary who is the best physical therapist I've have worked with.

An early review as we've only been here twice, second of many more visits. I've been driving my mom here for PT as authorized by her primary doctor. So far so good, the front desk is really nice and seems friendly. The therapist helping my mom is nice. They get more patients during weekdays but when we came last Saturday, it was just us and another patient. I think there's no front desk too on Saturdays as there was none that day. Surprised that there seems to be more parking too, probably because it was weekend and with that I mean metered parking. This is often my concern since this is downtown area.

I recently tweaked my back and was referred here. I had a great experience making the appointment with JJ, the nicest person, she was able to make my appointments to meet my schedule. When I arrived, I could barely take 2 steps without using a cane. Jenna, the Physical Therapist put me on a plan that allowed me to throw that cane in the closet for good. She really educated me regarding my Hips and Lower Back and put me on a PT plan. She was attentive and made sure I had an exercise workout to do at home as well. A real bonus is they have a convenient app to use on my phone or on the computer. This location in Hillcrest has plenty of parking, and its extremely clean, organized and seemed sanitized. You must wear a ðŸ˜· Mask. I also was able to hear some very motivating music playing, while I was working out, that helped. I must give a special shout-out to the Student/Intern, Kimberly, who was very professional and answered all my concerns and explained everything to me in great detail. (she really has a great future ðŸ“¢). I definitely would recommend Jenna and Spine & Sport Physical Therapy.

Commonly Asked Questions & What to Expect During Your PT Treatment

Thanks to direct access, we can see any patient without a referral from a doctor for an initial evaluation. If our therapists believe that physical therapy is a good option for your needs, we can work with you and your physician to obtain a prescription for continued care. If your diagnosis requires additional expertise, we can also refer you to a specialist to handle your care.

For your first visit, be sure to bring the following items:

Prescription for physical therapy from your referring physician (if applicable)
Government issued photo ID (such as a driver’s license)
Insurance card(s)
Patient forms, which can be downloaded from this site in PDF format. Print and fill out the forms completely and bring them during your first visit.
Patients who are minors (under 18 years of age) must be accompanied by a parent or guardian for their first visit.

During your first visit, your therapist will perform a thorough examination, in which he or she will review your physician’s recommendations, examine the problem area, ask questions about your injury or pain, develop an effective treatment plan for rehabilitation, discuss their findings with you and answer any questions you may have. Your treatment plan may include hands-on, manual therapy, a customized exercise program, stretching and physical agents such as heat, ice, ultrasound and electrical stimulation. Your physical therapist may also recommend a home program to further assist in your treatment.

Your first appointment will typically last from 45 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on your injury. Following appointments usually last between 30 minutes and an hour, depending on the treatment. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of your appointment for check-in and paperwork. You can also download our patient forms, which can be filled out beforehand and brought with to your appointment.

The frequency of your treatment will depend on your physician’s prescription and the plan of care developed by your physical therapist. Most patients require treatment two to three times per week. The duration of treatment will depend on your injury and personal progress. Your physical therapist will discuss this with you following your initial exam and subsequently as you progress.

We accept most major insurances including Medicare, Tricare and workers’ compensation plans. Before your initial visit, we will verify in and out of network benefits with your insurance company. The cost of therapy is determined by the benefits of your insurance plan, including the deductible and co-pay, or patient percentage. We are happy to check with your insurance company to determine the terms of your coverage. Payment for patient responsibility is due at the time of service.

We are proud to offer complimentary injury screenings with one of our certified licensed specialists who will discuss your area of discomfort and offer suggestions for next steps in care, if appropriate. For your convenience, consultations will last no longer than 15 minutes and are available over the phone or in person. To request a complimentary screening, after entering your ZIP code in the location look up, simply select 'Free Consultation' and proceed to fill out your information.
