FAQs

• Why is Westside considered the best pediatric physical therapy provider?

  There are many reasons- one being we have over 1,000+ pediatricians referring to us for services. Above all is our parents’ feedback and quality care.

  Every parent is sent a survey at the beginning, middle, and end of their therapy services. It asks: “On a scale of 1-10, how likely are you to refer Westside to your friends and family.”

  Here is what parents say:

  Average Beginning Score: 9.71/10
  Average Middle Score: 9.83/10
  Average End Score: 9.89/10
  This is exactly why Westside is deemed the best.

• What does Pediatric Physical Therapy cost?

  While cost varies by insurance plan, number of therapy hours, and other factors, we still inform you on what you’ll expect to pay. We have built a sophisticated cost calculator that looks at 19 factors that impact cost. When we run it, it shows you a week-by-week prediction of cost.

  This estimate occurs after your evaluation once we know the frequency of therapy. All you do is provide us with your insurance plan details, and we handle the rest.

• Which insurances do you accept for physical therapy?

  We work with a wide variety of insurance companies and HMO networks. We are always expanding our network – click here to view the list of our currently accepted insurances.

• How long will my child be in physical therapy?

  Graduating kids from physical therapy is our goal. It means we did our job and the child’s concerns have been addressed. We do everything we can to achieve progress as quickly as possible, and ensure open communication between the family and the therapist on the child’s progress. The best progress is seen when combining consistent in-clinic sessions, and compliance with your child’s home exercise program. When it is agreed the concerns have been fully addressed, it is time to graduate AND celebrate!

• Which ages do you treat?

  At Westside, we generally treat children birth-18 years old. Our physical therapists are trained to work with babies, toddlers, kids, and teens.

• How often will my child need physical therapy?

  Most Physical Therapy treatment plans are 1-3 hours per week in-clinic, with 1 hour per week being the most common.

  Our therapists teach the parents and the child how to carry over the exercises at home. This complements the in-clinic treatment and leads to lasting change.
