What to expect from a Physical Therapy Referral visit

1

Share your health story

Answer a few questions about your goals and concerns. And, we'll gather your full health history from past providers.

2

Meet your clinician

Pick a time that works for you to speak with a licensed clinician. They'll review your health story beforehand, so your visit can be used to listen and dig deeper.

3

Get your care plan

Leave with clear next steps and a personalized care plan. If you need medication, labs, or to see a specialist, your clinician will take care of the details for you.

4

Own your health

Track your progress, schedule follow-ups, and adjust care as your needs evolve. Your care team and General AI is only a few taps away.

Virtual visit with clinician

Ongoing support, always available.

You’ll be supported by experienced clinicians who care for a wide range of health needs, from everyday concerns to more complex conditions.

Our clinicians track your progress over time and adjust your care as needed. If medication is prescribed, we’ll manage dosing and monitor for side effects. If lab testing is recommended, we review results and refine your plan accordingly. You’re never left to navigate care on your own.

All your care in one place. That’s the General Medicine difference.

We help you understand your options, connect you to the right clinicians, manage prescriptions, coordinate any needed evaluations, and keep an eye on your overall health along the way. It’s comprehensive care that looks at the full picture — your goals, your history, your lifestyle — and makes it simple to move forward with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What conditions benefit most from physical therapy?

PT is effective for musculoskeletal pain (back, neck, shoulder, knee, hip), post-surgical rehabilitation, balance and fall prevention, sports injuries, neurological conditions affecting movement, pelvic floor dysfunction, and chronic pain. It addresses the underlying mechanical cause rather than just managing symptoms.

How many PT sessions will I need?

Most acute musculoskeletal conditions improve meaningfully within 6–12 sessions over 4–8 weeks. Chronic or complex conditions may require longer courses. A physical therapist will establish goals and a timeline at the initial evaluation. Adherence to the home exercise program between sessions significantly affects outcomes.

Do I need a referral for physical therapy?

In most states, direct access laws allow patients to see a physical therapist without a physician referral — though insurance coverage may require one. A clinician referral also provides the PT with your diagnosis and relevant history, which improves the quality of initial assessment and care planning.

What is the difference between physical therapy and occupational therapy?

Physical therapy focuses on restoring mobility, strength, and function — particularly for movement-related conditions. Occupational therapy focuses on restoring the ability to perform daily tasks — particularly relevant after neurological events, hand injuries, or cognitive changes affecting independence.

Are there any risks or side effects associated with physical therapy?

PT is very safe when performed by a licensed therapist. Mild soreness after sessions — particularly in the first few weeks — is common and expected as muscles and joints adapt. Serious adverse events are rare. Patients with certain fractures, acute infections, or unstable cardiac conditions require modified approaches.
