We want to make sure that you get all your questions answered. Here are the questions we receive most often.

What will the therapy cost? Back to top
Most insurance companies pay all or part of physical therapy needs. We will contact your insurance company prior to your first visit to verify your coverage. Potomac Valley Sports Medicine maintains quality care at competitive rates.

Will the therapy hurt? Back to top
Our goal is to provide the best care to you with the least discomfort possible. However, it is normal to experience some increase in your symptoms or onset of muscle soreness as a result of starting a new exercise program.

It depends on the extent or involvement of your injury, but most treatments last between 45 and 60 minutes.
