Putting Healthcare Back In Your Hands

At Optimove Physical Therapy & Wellness it is important for the decision-making power about our clients’ plan of care and treatment to be between the client and the therapist. Optimove allows you to experience what medicine used to be, so you and the healthcare provider determine your plan together. Decisions about your plan are made by you in collaboration with your licensed therapist. Once the evaluation is completed, you and the physical therapist will decide together on how long the treatment should last, how often, and what the end-result will look like. We never give up on you and we are always there for you. We are relentless in the pursuit of you achieving the outcome you want.

Cost is established up-front and agreed upon by you and your physical therapist. No surprises, no bills showing up weeks or months after the completion of therapy. At Optimove, our model demands complete transparency in your healthcare, and that’s the way it should be. And it gets better from there!

Do I need a Referral?

In the State of Texas, a physical therapy evaluation and the beginning of treatment can be performed without a referral. After that, we will send our evaluation to the healthcare provider of your choice and we will take it from there. All you need to do is provide the contact information for that healthcare provider, and we will do the rest. This other healthcare provider can be a physician, chiropractor, dentist, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner.

If you have a prescription for Physical Therapy you can bring it in or have your referring provider fax it to (214) 712 – 8243.

Clinical Evaluation

Our Evaluations are designed to establish specifically what is wrong and why so we can work with our clients to design a customized plan for them. This includes gathering information, physical testing, and working together on a plan. Any background you can put together ahead of time such as medical information, timelines, imaging, medication lists, etc., is helpful. Although not required, filling out the intake forms can be done on-line, which can also help streamline the evaluation so you can get back to your day.

Free Consultation

This Free Discovery Visit is something that we offer to people so they can get more information face-to-face with us, in-person, so you know who your team is.
