How do I find a clinic for my condition?

Use the search on the home page, or browse by specialty. Type your condition or specialty — for example, “pelvic floor” or “vestibular” — and a place, and the directory shows matching clinics. Each listing shows the clinic’s specialties, hours, insurance and workers comp, with the source and date it was checked.

Do I need a referral for physical therapy?

In most states, direct access means no referral is required, but rules and limits vary by state and by insurance — check your state and plan.

How do I know a clinic takes my insurance?

Each listing shows the insurance the clinic publishes, where the clinic publishes it. If a clinic does not publish an insurance list, the listing says Unknown — contact the clinic to check your plan before you book.

What does “Unknown” mean on a listing?

It means the clinic does not publish that information on its own website. We would rather say Unknown than guess.

What does “evening hours” mean here?

Open to 6pm or later on at least one weekday. 161 of the 197 clinics in the directory publish evening hours; 27 publish Saturday hours.

Do clinics pay to be listed or ranked?

No. Clinics cannot pay to be listed, to rank higher, or to change the facts on a listing.

How was this data collected?

Every listing was checked against the clinic’s own website, never a booking site. Each listing shows its Verified Date and source page.

Why is Chicago coverage deeper than other cities?

Chicago is where the project started, so it has the deepest coverage, with 76 clinics. The directory is growing in other cities too.

Can I book an appointment here?

No. Specialty PT Finder is not a booking service. Contact the clinic directly — phone and website are on each listing.

I run a clinic — how do I fix my listing?

A claim-and-correct program opens soon. Until then, you can check your listing to see what it says.
