FAQ

    • PT = physical therapist. This is what allows Tara to evaluate and treat patients

    • DPT = Doctor of Physical Therapy. The DPT is a post-baccalaureate degree that was designed to prepare professionals to act as autonomous practitioners in health care settings. This includes direct access to physical therapy services.

    • CHT = Certified Hand Therapist. This is a credential that signifies a specialty in evaluating and treating the upper extremity.

    • CEAS I = Certified Ergonomics Assessment Specialist level 1. A certification designating proficiency in performing office, industrial/manufacturing, and healthcare environments, using ergonomics assessment tools.

  • Nope! A DPT is a clinical doctoral degree and is not research focused like a PhD. The degrees are used for different things.

  • No. As a physical therapist Tara is licensed to treat the whole body. However, since earning her CHT credential in 2009 she has only focused on treating the upper extremity. A non-CHT PT would better serve someone who needs treatment for the spine or lower extremities.

    • Yes! All benefits, regardless of insurance carrier, will be verified by a professional medical biller and presented and explained to you prior to your first appointment.

    • Please note that insurance only pertains to PT services and not office ergonomic assessments

    • Tara is licensed to practice physical therapy in Connecticut and New York States

    • In person PT services are provided at Impact’s office in downtown Greenwich, CT

    • On-site workstation assessments are available in Westchester County, NY and lower Fairfield County, CT. If you live or work outside of this area please reach out to inquire about Tara’s availability to travel or to set up a remote assessment.

  • The State of CT allows for physical therapists to practice under direct access. This means that you can make an appointment with a PT without a referral from a physician for a physical therapy evaluation or a splint. You can be seen for 30 days or 10 visits (whichever comes first) until the law requires you to see a physician and get a referral.
