PAMF's Physical Therapy Department has a diverse staff that provides treatment for and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries, as well as postoperative care. Your local physical therapy office can direct you to the right resources for your therapy. An overview of the services provided by each office is listed below.
Please arrive at 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment to check-in and fill out any necessary paperwork. At your appointment, a licensed rehabilitation therapist will review your doctor's notes and instructions and complete an evaluation of your problem. The therapist will then design an individualized program to help you achieve your goals. This plan will be carried out by our team of experienced therapists and therapy assistants.
Most therapy appointments are scheduled for 45 minutes. Some sessions may be for an hour.
PAMF provides physical therapy services as appropriate to patients with HMO, POS and PPO insurance. You will need a referral from your physician prior to beginning physical therapy. Patients should verify that services are covered by their insurance provider and obtain authorization (if needed) prior to receiving services.
No. PAMF does not provide treatment for patients who are covered by workers' compensation insurance. Patients should discuss referral to a workers' compensation provider with their employer's Human Resources Department.

For some therapies, your treatment will include exercises to do at home to complement your in-person therapy. For other therapies, telehealth appointments may be appropriate and can be as effective as in-person care.
In 2020, providers at PAMF began offering telehealth appointments for physical and occupational therapy (PT and OT). Data show that patients who used Video Visits (on their therapist’s recommendation) had as good or better outcomes than those who were instructed to come in for treatment.
Collectively, in-person and virtual-visit patients in 2020 gained functional improvements that were equal to or better than national outcome standards.
A virtual visit can save you:
Once your doctor refers you for PT or OT, your therapy provider may offer you a Video Visit to assess your condition, discuss your goals and determine the best treatment approach. Telehealth may be an ideal way to start.
Physical therapists at PAMF measure each patient’s treatment results using a nationalized standard (FOTO). The outcomes target is 0.9 or greater. In 2020, PAMF patients who used video therapy visits (yellow bar) showed favorable improvement relative to established outcome norms.
Check-ups, screenings and sick visits for adults and children.
Expertise and advanced technologies in all areas of medicine.
For serious accidents, injuries and conditions that require immediate medical care.
After-hours, weekend and holiday services.
Convenient walk-in care clinics for your non-urgent health needs.
