Frequently Asked Questions

The Dover clinic lists physical therapy, workers' compensation care, hand and upper extremity therapy, concussion and vertigo or vestibular therapy, women's health therapy, pelvic health therapy, dry needling, IASTM, manual therapy, myofascial decompression or cupping, back pain and spine therapy, TMJ/TMD therapy, and joint replacement physical therapy. The location also notes orthopedic rehabilitation, sports medicine, kinesio taping, and geriatric rehabilitation.

The first session is centered on understanding the patient's condition and goals. The website says the visit includes an evaluation, review of medical history, movement and strength testing, and creation of a personalized treatment plan. It also notes that treatment may begin during that first appointment.

Patients are asked to wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes so the therapist can properly assess the problem area. The site also says to bring a photo ID, insurance card, any required referral or prescription, post-op protocol if applicable, a medication list if applicable, completed registration forms, and any relevant reports or assistive devices.

The website explains that referral rules depend on state requirements. Athletico's direct access page includes Delaware among the states where patients can start physical therapy without a prescription, but it also notes that direct access rules vary by state and that some situations may still require a prescription before the appointment.

The Dover page lists many accepted insurance plans, and the website says the team verifies benefits as a courtesy after an appointment is scheduled and insurance information is provided. It also explains that the benefit quote is not a guarantee of payment and that co-pays are expected at the time of service.

Patients can request an appointment through the website, call the clinic, or use email. The Athletico FAQ page also says appointments can be made by phone, email, or the online request form, and that first visits are often scheduled the same day or next day, and otherwise within 24 to 48 hours.
