Take Control of Your Recovery with Direct Access Physical Therapy

Welcome to The Rehab Revolution! In this game-changing episode, Dr. Gariffo tackles a topic that could completely transform your approach to pain and recovery: direct access to physical therapy. Tired of waiting weeks for doctor’s appointments, battling red tape, or feeling stuck in a cycle of referrals just to get the care you need? You’re not alone - and it doesn’t have to be that way.

Dr. Gariffo pulls back the curtain on one of healthcare’s best-kept secrets: in most states, you don’t need a doctor’s referral to see a physical therapist. He busts common myths about the traditional healthcare pipeline, dives into how insurance and states laws factor in, and shares inspiring stories of patients who took control of their recovery — saving time, money, and unnecessary suffering.

Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, fresh off surgery, or simply curious about more proactive ways to support your well-being, this episode will leave you empowered, informed, and ready to take your health into your own hands. Let’s kick off the conversation that’s changing lives — one recovery at a time!
