Back Pain Physical Therapy FAQs
Get answers to common questions about our approach.
1. Do I need a doctor's referral for back pain physical therapy?
No! Connecticut allows direct access to physical therapy, which means you can skip the extra medical visit and come straight to the experts at GOAT. Your time is valuable, and we're here to help you start your recovery immediately.
2. Do you accept insurance for back pain treatment?
We are an out of network practice, which means we're not limited by arbitrary insurance guidelines. This allows us to provide the comprehensive 60-minute one-on-one sessions you need to truly address your back pain. We offer transparent pricing discussed during your free consultation and can provide superbills for potential reimbursement.

Most GOAT clients complete their plan of care in just 6-10 visits. Because we're not constrained by insurance limits, we can focus each session on what you actually need. Our comprehensive approach helps you get better faster with fewer total visits than traditional PT clinics.
5. What should I wear to my back pain physical therapy appointment?
Dress comfortably in clothes you can move in. Athletic wear like workout shorts or pants and a t-shirt work great. We'll be assessing your movement and doing exercises, so you'll want to be able to bend, stretch, and move freely.
