Mettler Physical Therapy
When you come to Mettler Center for physical therapy, you are treated by a licensed physical therapist and not with assistants or aids.
We make every effort for you to see the same therapist every time, because a relation that’s built on trust, confidence, and competence will help you get better, faster.

F.A.Q.
Take action, reach out, and let’s talk.
The first step toward recovery is to schedule an appointment with us.
You can fill out the health status form and bring to your consultation or one will be provided for you at your appointment.
How do I know if I need physical therapy?
If you’re not sure, come see us for a free consultation. Physical therapy is something to consider if you are:
- in pain
- seeking to prevent surgery
- looking for an alternative to pain pills
- and more
Do you offer telehealth and how does it work?
Yes, we are excited to offer telehealth through a video-based meeting such as Zoom, Facetime, Skype, etc. for free consults and ongoing treatment. During this time, most major insurance companies are covering this service and we can confirm your individual coverage. Please contact us to get started.
How do I pay for physical therapy?
When you provide a check as payment, you authorize us either to use the information from your check to make a one-time electronic funds transfer from your bank account or to process the payment as a check transaction.
We also offer secure online payment.
Do I need a doctor's referral?
You do not need a doctor’s referral for a consultation.
More Information About Direct Access
- A referral is not needed.
In Illinois, legislation was passed in 2018 allowing patients to be evaluated and treated by a licensed physical therapist without a referral. - We communicate for you.
Mettler Center physical therapy communicates with your medical provider to update them on your plan of care and to collaborate for the best care possible. - Get a referral faster.
Many insurance companies still require a referral for payment. At Mettler Center, we have a system in place that satisfies the insurance requirement and minimizes unnecessary steps to get approval. - Skip a referral and pay cash.
Cash paying patients do not need a referral nor do they have to worry about insurance approval.

You do not need insurance for the free consultation. Mettler Center also accepts cash-based patients.
