Frequently Asked Questions
What types of physical therapy do you offer?
Compass Therapeutic provides personalized physical therapy in Vero Beach for post-surgical rehabilitation, orthopedic injuries, balance and fall prevention, vestibular disorders, vertigo, neurological conditions, sports injuries, chronic pain, and age-related mobility limitations.
Our goal is to restore strength, improve mobility, and support your return to daily activities with greater independence.
Do I need a referral to start physical therapy in Florida?
Florida is a direct access state, which means many patients can begin physical therapy without a physician referral. Some insurance plans, however, may require a referral for reimbursement.
We verify your benefits before your first visit and clearly explain any referral requirements.
What should I expect at my first physical therapy appointment?
We will also discuss your personal goals, whether that involves returning to golf, recovering from surgery, reducing dizziness, or preventing falls.
You will leave with a clear treatment plan designed specifically for your needs.
Do you provide post-surgical rehabilitation in Vero Beach?
Yes. We provide structured post-surgical physical therapy following procedures such as:
- Total knee replacement
- Total hip replacement
- ACL reconstruction
- Rotator cuff repair
- Spine surgery
Our rehabilitation programs focus on protecting healing tissues while progressing strength, mobility, and overall function.
Do you offer balance therapy, vestibular rehabilitation, and vertigo treatment?
Yes. We provide balance therapy and vestibular rehabilitation in Vero Beach, including treatment for vertigo and dizziness.
Vestibular therapy may help patients experiencing:
- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
- Dizziness or spinning sensations
- Imbalance while walking
- Motion sensitivity
- Post-concussion dizziness
Treatment may include repositioning maneuvers, gaze stabilization exercises, balance retraining, and functional mobility training to reduce symptoms and improve stability.
What insurance plans do you accept?
Our goal is clear communication so you understand your financial responsibility before treatment begins.
What if you are out-of-network with my insurance?
Many patients choose to pay at the time of service and request a superbill, which is a detailed receipt submitted to the insurance company for possible reimbursement.
We provide the necessary documentation to support this process. Reimbursement amounts vary by policy, so we recommend contacting your insurance provider regarding out-of-network physical therapy benefits.
Do you offer cash pay or self-pay physical therapy options?
Yes. We offer cash pay physical therapy in Vero Beach for patients who prefer not to use insurance or who have high deductibles.
Self-pay care allows:
- No insurance visit limitations
- No authorization delays
- Flexible scheduling
- One-on-one focused care
We are happy to discuss pricing and available package options.
Do you offer wellness or maintenance physical therapy?
Yes. After completing skilled physical therapy, some patients transition into a wellness or maintenance program.
This option may be appropriate for individuals who want to:
- Maintain strength and mobility
- Continue balance or vestibular training

- Help reduce risk of future injury
Wellness visits are self-pay and designed to support long-term function and independence.
