Is the facility owned by the physical therapist, or by a large company or physician group?
You want a physical therapist that can make an independent, totally unbiased judgment as to your need for and ability to benefit from physical therapy. Feel free to ask your referring physician if he/she gains financially by referring you to a particular facility. Find out who owns the facility and think twice if the answer is someone other than a physical therapist. Non-physical therapists who are owners will make decisions for their own financial gain rather than for your benefit. Physical therapists have their license at stake and are bound by Standards of Care and Ethics.
