Getting Started with Physical Therapy Direct
Starting physical therapy can feel confusing, but at Physical Therapy Direct, we make it simple. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing pain, or working on balance and strength, our team brings care directly to your home or office throughout the greater St. Louis area.
This page will help you understand the steps to begin care, what to expect, and the resources available to make your experience smooth and effective.
1. Find Out If We Serve Your Area
We provide in-home physical therapy across St. Louis, St. Charles, and surrounding communities. Check the cities and neighborhoods we serve to ensure we can come to your home or office.
2. Understand Direct Access & Referrals
Missouri law allows many patients to begin physical therapy without a doctor’s referral. If you do have a prescription, that works too. Learn which option is best for you, how direct access works, and what you need to get started.

3. Learn About Insurance & Payments
Insurance coverage and out-of-pocket costs vary depending on your plan. We are happy to help you understand what is covered by Medicare, supplemental insurance, or explore cash based options, so you can focus on your care instead of paperwork.
