Frequently Asked Questions

What will my first visit be like?

We will do a review of your medical history, have a conversation about your goals for treatment, answer any questions you have, and develop a treatment plan that will address your specific goals. The first visit will possibly include a physical exam to assess your strength, motion, posture and function. You will want to wear comfortable clothes. If you are coming to my office, we will be in a private room.

How long is each visit?

Initial consults can be scheduled for 60 or 90 minutes. Follow-up visits can be 40 or 60 minutes, depending on your treatment plan. If you are unsure of what visit length you need, sign up for a free phone consult to discuss your goals with Caryn before you schedule.  Please fill out forms online ahead of your initial consult to save time during your visit.

How do I schedule an appointment?

You can book an appointment online or call

(508) 254-2836 to schedule. Please leave a voicemail and your call should be returned that day. 

Do I need a prescription or referral from my doctor?

No.  Massachusetts is an unrestricted Direct Access state for physical therapy, which means patients are allowed to seek evaluation and treatment from a licensed physical therapist without a prescription or referral from a physician.  However, if you plan on seeking reimbursement from insurance, your insurance provider may require a physician’s referral. 

Do you take insurance?
