Direct Access to Physical Therapy in Maine

You don’t need a doctor’s referral to start feeling better. In Maine, state law allows you to begin physical therapy directly with a licensed therapist — no waiting, no added appointments.

What This Means for You

  • Immediate Access: Start your physical therapy as soon as you’re ready. Skip the referral process and take the first step toward relief, recovery, and better movement.

  • Qualified Care: Our team of licensed physical therapists at Back in Motion provides personalized care plans focused on your goals — whether it’s pain relief, post-surgical recovery, or improved mobility.

  • Efficient, Patient Centered Treatment: We treat what we’re trained to treat. If your condition requires medical attention beyond our scope, we’ll refer you to the right provider. We believe in getting you to the care you need, no matter where it starts.

Important Considerations

  • Ongoing Care: In rare cases, if there’s no progress or your condition changes, we’ll coordinate with your healthcare provider to adjust your care appropriately.

  • Insurance Coverage: While Maine law allows direct access to physical therapy, some insurance plans — including Medicare, Workers’ Comp, or certain HMOs — may still require a referral for coverage. We recommend reaching out to your insurance provider first to understand your specific benefits. If you run into questions, our team is here to help guide you through it.
