Answers before you book — or before your first visit

In New York State, you can see a physical therapist directly without a prescription through direct access. However, some insurance companies may require a prescription for reimbursement — we're happy to discuss your specific situation during your initial consultation.

Each session is a full 60 minutes of dedicated, one-on-one treatment time, allowing us to provide thorough care and ensure real progress at every visit.

Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows you to move freely — athletic wear like shorts, t-shirts, or leggings works well. For upper body work, consider a tank top or loose shirt; for lower body concerns, shorts or loose pants that can be rolled up are ideal.

Yes. Sessions at Vella PT are one-on-one — your therapist is present for the evaluation, hands-on treatment, and exercise instruction, rather than rotating between multiple patients at once.

Treatment frequency is tailored to your specific needs, goals, and condition. After your comprehensive initial evaluation, we'll create a personalized plan that outlines your recommended session frequency. Our goal is to help you return to your prime as efficiently as possible while ensuring lasting results.

We have a 24-hour cancellation policy. Cancellations made within 24 hours of your appointment are charged the full cost of the session, unless you're able to reschedule within the same week — in which case the fee is waived.

You can schedule by calling (516) 250-5350, emailing joe@vellapt.com, or submitting a request online.

Vella PT is an out-of-network provider. We've chosen this model to provide the highest quality of care without the limitations insurance companies place on providers. If you have out-of-network benefits, we'll provide documentation you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

All major credit cards, cash, or check. Payment is due at time of service.
