Is Your Deductible Met? Now’s the Time to Use Your PT Benefits

Jul11th 2025

With the year winding down, there’s one thing you might be overlooking: your hard-earned insurance benefits. If you’ve met your deductible (or are close), why not use this opportunity to invest in your health, mobility, and long-term wellbeing?

Physical therapy isn’t just about rehab after injury—it’s a natural, proactive approach that supports healthy movement, keeps pain at bay, and helps you stay independent at any age.

You Pay for Insurance—Are You Using It Wisely?

How Deductibles Work in Your Favor Mid‑Year

By mid-July, you may have already covered your deductible—meaning your PT visits could be covered with minimal or no co‑pay. That’s money you’ve paid in already. Don’t let it go to waste.

Understanding Your PT Visit Limits and Why They Matter

Many plans include a yearly cap on covered PT sessions—after that, any visits are out-of-pocket. Using your full benefit now means more therapy, improved movement, and pain relief before January resets it all.

Don’t Accept Pain or Limitations as “Normal”

Common Issues We Treat That People Often Ignore

  • Knee pain keeping you from daily walks
  • Shoulder stiffness slowing down lifting or reaching
  • Persistent neck or back soreness from posture
  • Balance issues increasing fall risk
  • General muscle weakness
  • Chronic aches athletes often “just live with”
    These aren’t “just part of aging” – they’re solvable, and your insurance may already cover the solution.

Why Physical Therapy Is the Best Natural Solution

Movement Is Medicine—At Any Age or Fitness Level

Whether you’re 35 or 75, physical therapy helps restore movement and confidence. We tailor programs—gentle stretches, strength routines, balance drills—to your needs, helping your body work better, sleep better, and move better.

Avoid Unnecessary Medications or Surgeries

We’re passionate about natural, conservative care. PT reduces reliance on pills or injections—and in many cases, helps avoid surgery altogether. You deserve relief in the least invasive way possible.

Have Medicare? You May Already Be Covered for Physical Therapy

Medicare Offers an Annual Allowance for Therapy Services

If you’re on Medicare Part B, guess what? You have therapy days waiting to be used each year, and they reset January 1st.

Many Patients Don’t Realize These Benefits Go Unused

Countless patients pay premiums without using their therapy benefits. Don’t let medications or age steal your independence—your benefits are designed to help.

Physical Therapy Under Medicare Part B—What’s Included

Medicare covers assessment, treatment planning, manual therapy, exercise, balance training—you name it. Most patients only pay their co‑insurance after the Part B deductible is met.

Physical Therapy for Medicare Patients: A Natural Way to Stay Independent

Improve Strength, Balance, and Mobility—Covered by Medicare

From fall prevention to functional movement, PT helps you stay self-sufficient. Strong hips, flexible spine, coordinated movement—these are the building blocks of independent living.

Don’t Wait Until You’re in Pain—Prevention Is Key

Preventive therapy is as valuable as reactive care. Use your benefits now to support your goals—whether it’s gardening, golfing, walking your dog, or just feeling confident moving through your day.

What Happens if You Don’t Use It?

  • Your deductible resets and benefits disappear
  • Pain or stiffness might worsen over the winter
  • Risk of worsening mobility or accidental falls increases
  • Another year passes wishing you’d taken action

Real People, Real Results

  • The athlete who regained speed in his 5K
  • The senior who returned to walking without fear
  • The busy parent who healed her shoulder to carry her kids again

They didn’t wait. They used their benefits and made measurable improvements in strength, mobility, and life satisfaction.
