Our Approach at Reform Physical Therapy
We conduct a thorough functional assessment at intake and document baseline impairments using standardized outcome measures. This initial documentation establishes the clinical record that is most important for your insurance or legal case.
Outcome measures used for PI documentation include the Neck Disability Index (NDI), DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand), Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), and OPTIMAL. Progress is reassessed at defined intervals and provided in written reports.
Treatment combines manual therapy for soft tissue and joint restrictions, therapeutic exercise for strength and mobility restoration, pain neuroscience education for post-traumatic pain, and progressive functional rehabilitation.
We communicate directly with your personal injury attorney and insurance provider throughout your care. Progress reports are provided at consistent intervals in the format required for legal and insurance documentation.
We accept care on a medical lien basis on a case-by-case basis, meaning eligible patients may not pay out of pocket until their case settles. Contact us to discuss your coverage options.
Clinical Tools & Assessment: Documentation tools include: Neck Disability Index (NDI), DASH outcome measure, OPTIMAL, Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), functional range of motion goniometry, whiplash-associated disorder (WAD) grading, and standardized progress reports formatted for legal and insurance documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Seek medical evaluation within 24 to 72 hours even if pain feels mild at first. Soft tissue injuries from collisions frequently worsen over 48 to 72 hours. Document everything, start treatment early, and contact us — we will coordinate your insurance coverage from day one
As soon as possible, ideally within 72 hours of the accident. Early PT prevents scar tissue from forming improperly, maintains range of motion, and creates documented medical records that are critical for any insurance or legal claim.
No. You can begin PT immediately under MedPay or PIP auto insurance coverage or under a medical lien while a case is pending. Having an attorney is not required to start treatment.
A medical lien defers payment for PT until your personal injury settlement is reached. Eligible patients may pay nothing out of pocket until settlement. Lien amounts can exceed settlement values in some cases — understanding your financial obligations before agreeing to lien-based care is important.
Objective intake assessments, functional outcome scores, and consistent attendance records demonstrate the extent of your injuries and their impact on daily function. This clinical documentation is used by attorneys and insurance adjusters to substantiate your claim.
Yes. We work with MedPay, PIP, and liability auto insurance. Our team explains your coverage options before your first visit and communicates directly with your provider — you do not need to manage this yourself.
