Question 1

How is physiotherapy different from physical therapy?

Accepted Answer

“Physical therapy” often means short sessions, generic exercise sheets, and insurance-driven care. At Front Runner Physiotherapy, every session is one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, combining advanced evaluation, hands-on treatment, and performance-based rehab. It’s a higher standard of care designed to solve the root cause and build lasting results.

Question 2

Do I need a doctor’s referral to get started?

Accepted Answer

No. In Pennsylvania, you have direct access to physiotherapy—which means you can start right away without a referral.

Question 3

What makes your approach different?

Accepted Answer

We don’t stop at symptom relief. We go deeper to identify the real cause, then create a plan that rebuilds your strength, mobility, and performance. Every session is longer, one-on-one, and designed specifically for your sport, activity, and goals.

Question 4

Is this only for athletes?

Accepted Answer

No. While we specialize in athletes and active adults, we work with anyone who wants to move better, recover fully, and live without limits. If you’re motivated to get results, you’re in the right place.

Question 5

Can I use my flexible spending account (FSA) or health saving account (HSA)

Accepted Answer

Physical therapy is considered a medical expense.
