Online Physical Therapy in Oregon

Oregon Personal Injury Protection (PIP) may help cover reasonable and necessary physical therapy related to injuries from a car accident, subject to your available benefits, policy limits, and coverage requirements. Our team can help verify your available PIP benefits and explain what we find before you begin treatment.

You may still be able to use your PIP benefits even if you caused the accident. Oregon PIP provides benefits for qualifying accident-related medical expenses regardless of who was at fault. If you are unsure about your coverage, Agape can help verify your available benefits.

In many cases, you can begin physical therapy in Oregon without first obtaining a referral from a physician. Your physical therapist will evaluate your condition and let you know if additional medical evaluation is appropriate. Insurance and coverage requirements can vary, so our team can also review your benefits before treatment begins.

Yes. Many musculoskeletal symptoms following a car accident may be appropriate for telehealth physical therapy. An Oregon-licensed physical therapist can evaluate your movement and function, guide you through exercises, monitor your progress, and adjust your treatment plan through video visits from home. Telehealth is not appropriate for every condition. If your therapist determines that you need emergency care, additional medical evaluation, imaging, hands-on treatment, or another service that cannot appropriately be provided remotely, we can help guide you toward the appropriate next step.

Agape's virtual physical therapy program is designed to make care more accessible throughout Oregon, including for people who live in rural or underserved communities, have limited transportation, or have difficulty traveling after an accident. When telehealth is appropriate for your condition, you can receive one-on-one physical therapy from home without repeatedly traveling long distances to a clinic.

Physical therapy may help with many musculoskeletal symptoms and functional problems following a car accident, including neck pain, back pain, whiplash-related symptoms, shoulder pain, elbow pain, wrist pain, hip pain, knee pain, ankle pain, dizziness, balance deficits, vestibular symptoms, stiffness, weakness, reduced mobility, and difficulty returning to normal activities. Every injury is different. Your physical therapist will evaluate your symptoms, movement, and function to determine whether physical therapy is appropriate and whether your care can safely and effectively be provided through telehealth.

If you are experiencing pain, stiffness, weakness, changes in movement, or other symptoms after a car accident, an evaluation can help determine whether treatment is appropriate. Some symptoms, including symptoms associated with whiplash, may not become noticeable until hours or days after an accident. If you experience severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, difficulty breathing, loss of consciousness, significant weakness or numbness, or another medical emergency, seek appropriate urgent or emergency medical care.

Your first visit is a one-on-one evaluation with a licensed physical therapist. We will discuss your accident, your symptoms, activities that are difficult for you, and your goals for recovery. Your therapist will assess your movement, mobility, and function as appropriate through video. Based on the evaluation, your therapist will determine whether virtual physical therapy is appropriate and develop an individualized treatment plan. Our team can also help review your insurance information and available PIP benefits so you have a better understanding of your coverage.
