Physical Therapy (muscle and joint pain, pelvic health, sexual dysfunction): Direct Access refers to visiting a physical therapist without a prescription or referral. You don’t have a prescription for physical therapy? Nothing to worry about!

In other words, the government made it acceptable for individuals to go straight to a physical therapy clinic of their choice and receive the resources and treatment they require.
