Question 1

Do I need a referral?

Accepted Answer

Ohio is a Direct Access state, allowing you to see a Physical Therapist without needing a referral from your physician. However, we are legally obligated to notify your healthcare provider (such as your OB/GYN, MD, DO, or general practitioner) within five days of your initial evaluation. Therefore, we will ask for your general practitioner's information to comply with this requirement.

*You do have the option to decline that we notify your physician. This option is define on the initial intake paperwork that you will receive once you have scheduled your evaluation.

Question 2

Does Legend take my insurance?

Accepted Answer

The simple answer is no.

At Legend Physical Therapy and Performance, we operate as a cash-based clinic, meaning we do not contract with any insurance providers and are considered out-of-network for all insurance companies. Our decision to remain out-of-network is rooted in our commitment to providing high-quality, personalized care.
Insurance companies often dictate reimbursement rates and treatment protocols, which can limit the level of care you receive. By not accepting insurance, we avoid the constraints imposed by insurance providers, allowing us to offer one-on-one care for your full time. This approach ensures that you receive in-depth analysis, individualized programming, and proactive wellness-driven treatment, helping you achieve your goals faster and reducing the overall time needed in our clinic.

We offer flat rates with package pricing available for long-term conditions, providing clarity and value. While we do not guarantee reimbursement, we can provide you with a detailed report (called a superbill) after your appointment that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. Payment is expected at the time of service and can be made via cash, card (VISA, MC), or HSA/FSA.

Question 6

What should I expect and what should I wear to my first appointment?

Accepted Answer

At your first appointment, you can expect a thorough, one-hour session where we will review your medical history, discuss your main concerns, and understand your personal goals. We will conduct a detailed movement analysis and assess any contributing factors to properly diagnose your condition. After the assessment, we will create a personalized plan of care designed to help you achieve your goals, manage pain or injuries, and support your return to an active lifestyle.

For your comfort, please wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing similar to what you would wear for a workout or gym session. This will allow us to effectively assess your movement and provide the best care possible.

Question 7

What is Dry Needling?

Accepted Answer

Dry needling is a therapeutic technique used to treat muscle pain and dysfunction. It involves the insertion of very fine, sterile needles into specific trigger points or "knots" within the muscle tissue. These trigger points are often areas of muscle tightness that can cause pain, restrict movement, and contribute to various musculoskeletal issues.

The goal of dry needling is to stimulate these points to release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and promote healing. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine and focuses on energy flow, dry needling targets the muscular and fascial systems to address pain and enhance function.

This technique can be highly effective for relieving chronic pain, improving range of motion, and accelerating the recovery process. At Legend Physical Therapy and Performance, our skilled practitioners use dry needling and are trained through Optimal Dry Needling Solutions with the International Academy of Orthopedic Medicine (IOAM) Level 1 and 2.
