Do You Need a Referral for Physical Therapy in Massachusetts? Here’s What You Should Know
If you’re experiencing pain or mobility issues, the last thing you want is to wait weeks for a doctor’s appointment before getting help. The good news? In Massachusetts, you don’t need a referral to start physical therapy. Thanks to Direct Access, you can book an appointment with a licensed physical therapist right away—no physician visit required.
