What to expect at your first visit
Plan for about an hour. Your therapist will ask about the injury, your daily demands (work, home, activity level), and what recovery needs to look like for you specifically. Hands-on evaluation, clear findings, and a plan with milestones. If it's a comp or PI case, we set up the documentation correctly from day one.
We verify insurance before your visit and give you a clear picture of costs. After the evaluation, every session is one-on-one with the same PT. Manual therapy, progressive exercises, and real-time plan adjustments. No aides, no handoffs, no generic exercise sheets.
You don’t need a referral
Illinois is a direct access state, which means you don’t need a physician referral to start physical therapy at 3PT. If something hurts, if you’re recovering from an injury, or if you just want a free injury screening to find out whether PT can help, you can call us directly. Most insurance plans cover direct access PT, and we’ll verify your benefits before your first visit.
Insurance and payment
We accept all major insurance at our Melrose Park clinic: PPO, HMO, Medicare, workers' comp, and personal injury liens. For work injuries and auto accidents, we coordinate directly with adjusters, case managers, and attorneys. Insurance is verified before your first appointment.
More than physical therapy, when you need it
Physical therapy is what most of our Melrose Park patients need, and it's what they get. Focused, one-on-one, goal-driven recovery.
When a patient's pain is tangled up with weight, stress, or nutrition, our clinic has a registered dietitian and a behavioral health clinician who work alongside the PT team. Your therapist brings them in when there's a clinical reason. It's part of how we practice, not a separate product.
