Andy and Daniel talk about what "Direct Access" actually means to us as PT's. They discuss how they go into an evaluation that is Direct Access, and how that may differ from other evaluations if a patient has a referral. They also dive into, in their opinion, when it may be necessary to refer a patient out to another practitioner, which is especially important in a case of Direct Access care.
