Pulse Physical Therapy accepts most major insurance plans. Before your first visit, our office will contact your insurance company to provide a breakdown of your benefits based on your individual policy. Please note that copays are due at the time of your appointment.

Illinois is a direct access state, which means you can see a physical therapist without a referral or prescription from a physician. This allows you to start your treatment promptly and begin your recovery as soon as possible.

For patients that do not have insurance, we offer a discounted self-pay rate, due at the time of service.

During your first appointment, a licensed physical therapist will review your medical history and evaluate your injury or condition. Baseline measurements of strength, flexibility, and mobility will be taken to help create a personalized plan of care tailored to your needs. Often, a brief treatment may be provided during this visit, and a home exercise program will be developed when appropriate.

Appointments are usually between 45-60 minutes.

Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing is best for your sessions. It’s helpful if you can expose the area being treated, though this isn’t required. During your evaluation and follow-up visits, your therapist may need to access the skin, muscles, and joints around the area you’re focusing on to accurately assess and treat your condition.
