FAQ: Do I really need a doctor’s referral to receive physical therapy treatments in the state of Rhode Island?
No, the state of Rhode Island has Direct Access, which means you can be treated by a physical therapist for any injury without a doctor’s referral. Unfortunately, these services are not covered by your insurance and you would have to pay a high self pay rate for these services. For any insurance company to cover physical therapy services, you will need a doctor’s referral. At Muldowney Physical therapy, we believe it is wise to have your doctor and physical therapist working together.
“Kevin is an excellent therapist. When I came here, I had significant pain in my back and neck. I struggled with day to day activities (i.e. turning my head/neck in the car, lifting my son, doing any heavy house/yard work). Today I am leaving pain-free with full range-of-motion restored. Kevin was able to customize his treatment with me for my needs. This practice is very friendly, flexible and clean – all very important for me and my family. I would recommend Kevin to anyone.”

“My experience with the physical therapists at Muldowney Physical Therapy was very positive. I started therapy approximately 6 weeks ago and I just completed therapy. Everyone was very knowledgeable and sensitive to the pain I experienced at the beginning of treatment. I am now pain-free and it feels great! I would recommend Muldowney Physical Therapy to anyone in need of excellent treatment.”
