PHYSICAL THERAPY & SPORTS MEDICINE
excellence through personal attention
At Body Basics Physical Therapy, our number one priority is the patient. We strive to provide individualized treatment with hands-on, compassionate care. We do not rush our patients or our clinicians. Rather, we perform comprehensive evaluations and encourage patient input for treatment planning and goal setting.
In Addition to our Physical Therapy Services, we also offer Certified Pilates Instruction for rehabilitation and have worked extensively with women and men experiencing pelvic, back and neck pain with Strain and Counterstrain (SCS) Techniques. SCS is a gentle non-traumatic technique that uses passive body positioning of spasmed muscles and/or dysfunctional joints towards positions of comfort. SCS is effective because treatment moves the body away from the painful restricted directions of motion. The changes that occur with SCS facilitate a faster and more complete recovery. Strain & Counterstrain is safe and effective for a multitude of pain and dysfunction including but not limited to:
- Motor Vehicle Accidents
- Chronic Neck & Back Pain
- Pregnancy & Pelvic Pain
- Sports Injuries

Yes. The choice of where you receive therapy is always yours. While the majority of our patients come to us by physician referral/recommendation, many clients request to see us due to our strong clinical reputation in the community.
We operate in a direct access state where, if your insurance plan authorizes self-referral to physical therapy, a physician referral is not necessary for you to be seen by a licensed therapist. Please check with your insurance though as many health insurance plans require a physician’s referral for therapy to be covered. We also offer treatments, services and/or products that do NOT require a referral and are available on a self-pay basis.
We participate in the majority of major health insurance plans including Medicare and Worker’s Compensation. Please contact us prior to your first visit to see if we participate with your specific health plan.
As a service to our patients, we will gladly file claims with your insurance company on your behalf. In order to appropriately submit these claims, we will need to obtain a copy of your insurance identification card to ensure that we have the necessary information.
Your therapist will conduct an evaluation of your condition lasting between 60-90 minutes. The evaluation is necessary to create a program designed specifically to address your needs for a maximum recovery.
– Referral slip from your medical doctor
– Your medical insurance card
– Your ID
– If you are getting therapy as a result of a worker’s compensation claim or an automobile accident, you will also need to bring your claim information, including claim number.
Please arrive 15 minutes early on your first visit to fill out any necessary paperwork.
We recommend comfortable clothing such as sweatpants or shorts, a T-shirt or tank-top and sneakers.
Each visit will last 60 – 90 minutes on average. Times vary due to the treatment and exercises being performed.
The regularity of your visits will be determined after your initial evaluation, but most patients have 3 visits each week scheduled.
