No! California offers direct access to physical therapy. You can work with us for up to 12 visits or 45 days (whichever comes first) without a doctor's referral or prescription. After that timeframe, a referral may be required depending on your situation. We'll guide you through the process and coordinate with your healthcare team as needed. How long does each physical therapy session last? Every session at Dang PT is 60 minutes, one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. No rotating therapists, no shared time with other patients—just focused, personalized care designed to get you results efficiently. What should I expect during my first visit? Your initial evaluation includes a thorough assessment of your movement patterns, pain triggers, and goals. We'll identify the root cause of your back pain through a full-body movement analysis (because often back pain stems from issues elsewhere), then create a customized treatment plan. You'll also receive treatment during this first visit. Do you accept insurance? We are an out-of-network provider, which allows us to invest all our time into providing the highest quality of care. We provide detailed superbills for each visit that you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Many of our clients receive partial or full reimbursement depending on their out-of-network benefits. How is Dang PT different from other physical therapy clinics? Unlike traditional clinics where you might see multiple therapists or share your appointment time, every session at Dang PT is 60 minutes, 1-on-1 with the same Doctor of Physical Therapy. You'll also have 24/7 access to your clinician via text or email for questions between visits, plus weekly exercise updates through our personalized app. We focus on performance-based rehabilitation—getting you back to activities you love, stronger than before. Still have questions? Our experiences as patients, mentees, students, clinicians, and teachers allow us to approach our clients with different perspectives that resonate with them.

Denise is super knowledgeable and I appreciate her and the team from DangPT for getting me back to playing sports again! Highly Recommend!" Isaiah Osborne "Dang PT is hands down the best in town. All the therapists here are super knowledgeable and down to earth. Tony was able to help diagnose a problem with my knee that didn't show up on an MRI. His movement analysis of me was really thorough, and his hands-on treatments are incredibly effective!

No! In California, you can work with a physical therapist for up to 12 visits or 45 days (whichever comes first) without a doctor's referral or prescription. After that timeframe, a referral may be required depending on your situation. We'll guide you through the process and keep communication open with your healthcare team. How long does each physical therapy session last? Every session at Dang PT is 60 minutes, one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. No rotating therapists, no shared time with other patients—just focused, personalized care designed to get you results efficiently. What should I expect during my first visit? Your initial evaluation includes a thorough assessment of your movement patterns, pain triggers, and goals. We'll identify the root cause of your knee pain through a full-body movement analysis, then create a customized treatment plan. You'll also receive hands-on treatment during this first session—not just an evaluation. Expect to spend about 60 minutes with your Doctor of Physical Therapy. How many sessions will I need? It depends on your specific condition, goals, and how your body responds to treatment. Some clients see significant improvement in 4-6 sessions, while others benefit from ongoing performance training beyond pain relief. During your initial evaluation, we'll give you a realistic timeline and discuss package options (6, 10, or 14-visit packages are available). We're focused on getting you results as efficiently as possible. Still have questions?
