Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about getting started at Process PT in Riverdale.
Do I need a doctor's referral to start PT in Maryland?
Maryland allows direct access to physical therapy, which means you can schedule a free discovery call and evaluation without seeing a doctor first. If your insurance plan requires a referral for out-of-network reimbursement, we can walk you through that process after your first visit.
How long are sessions, and what does a typical visit look like?
Every session is a full 60 minutes, one-on-one with your physical therapist. There are no aides, no shared time, and no generic exercise handouts. You'll work directly with a DPT who assesses how you move, provides hands-on treatment, and coaches you through exercises tied to your specific goals and sport.
Will I have to stop training while I'm in PT?
Not usually. Keeping you moving is part of the plan. We work with your training schedule and adjust load or intensity when needed so you stay active throughout the process. For most people, smart training is a key part of getting better — not something to pause while you're in PT.
Why is cash-based PT more expensive than going through insurance?
When we're not bound by insurance rules, we can give you a full hour of undivided attention, build a plan around your sport and goals, and track your progress visit by visit. You're investing in quality care with a provider who knows your name and your training history — not a different aide every time you walk in the door.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Wear athletic clothes you can move in — shorts or leggings and a t-shirt work great. If you're dealing with a running issue, bring your current training shoes. If it's a strength or lifting issue, be ready to demonstrate some movements so we can see how you actually load and move.
Still have questions?
Reach out with any questions and we'll be happy to help you figure out your next step.
