Testimonials
S.H.
I had an ankle injury from soccer and thankfully found Dr. Bortnick. She did a thorough exam of my ankle, watched me walk, and gave me confidence that I could fix it and get back to playing. Will go back if I have any other injuries!
J.B.
Once you meet Leah it is immediately obvious that she has a passion for helping people. I felt she was an excellent listener which is an invaluable asset in treating patients and a rarity in today’s healthcare system. I give her a big thumbs up!
J.P.
I was in a car accident that left me feeling extremely dizzy and disoriented. Thankfully, I found Dr. B, who reassured me with her professionalism and expertise. She thoroughly assessed my condition and explained the treatment plan clearly. Her compassionate and effective approach helped me regain my balance and feel normal again. Dr. B truly knows her stuff, and her knowledge and skills made me confident in my recovery every step of the way. I can’t thank her enough for her help. 10/10 would definitely go back if I ever need medical assistance again.
Corbett
I broke my left rib cage about a year ago. From that issue I had 3 trouble areas. I was able to get rid of 2 in about 4 months after the break but the last 1 has been the hardest to fix. The gist is my rib cage, chest wall and skin have serious adhesions. Dr. Leah and her techniques have very much helped with trunk mobility and breathing. I’ve seen her for about 5 sessions now and the progress she’s made is miles ahead of any doctors I’ve seen. She cares, listens, works the problem and measures progress. Highly recommend her and BT&W.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect during physical therapy sessions?
Physical therapy sessions typically involve an assessment of your condition, manual techniques to improve mobility and flexibility, individualized exercises and activities to help you reach your goals, education on how to prevent further injury or pain, and instruction on proper posture, body mechanics and other lifestyle changes.
Can I see a physical therapist without a referral in Bedford, TX?
Yes, Texas allows you to see a physical therapist without a referral under Direct Access laws. However, treatment is limited to 10 business days without a referral, or up to 15 days in certain circumstances. After that, we’ll need a prescription from a physician, dentist, or chiropractor to continue your care. We can help guide you through this process to ensure you receive the care you need. Feel free to contact us for more information or assistance!
What do I need to wear or bring with me?
You should dress in comfortable, loose clothing that allows you to move easily and doesn’t restrict circulation. Depending on your condition, your physical therapist may also recommend special shoes or a brace. You should also bring any paperwork related to your medical history, including x-rays, ultrasounds, and doctor’s notes.
Is there anything I can do before my appointment to prepare?
Yes! Make sure you arrive for your session well-rested so that you can give it your full attention and energy. It is also helpful if you keep track of how much pain medication (if any) you take prior to the appointment so that the physical therapist can adjust the intensity of treatment accordingly.
How long will my physical therapy sessions last?
Sessions typically last 30-60 minutes depending on your condition and the types of techniques used. Your physical therapist will give you an estimate when you first arrive for your appointment.
Are there any exercises I can do at home between appointments to help improve my condition?
Yes! Your physical therapist may provide specific exercise recommendations for you to try in between visits, which will help speed up your recovery and progress faster toward reaching your goals. It’s important to follow these carefully and always check with your PT before starting a new exercise program if you have any questions or concerns.
What if I have questions after my physical therapy session?
Your physical therapist should be available to answer any questions or concerns you may have about your treatment plan before and after each visit. You can also contact the clinic directly for further assistance. We want you to get the most out of every session!
Will insurance cover my physical therapy?
Coverage for physical therapy depends on your specific insurance plan. Most plans cover some or all of the costs, but it’s important to verify your benefits with your provider to understand what is covered and any out-of-pocket fees. Please note, we do not accept Medicaid. If you have any questions or need help understanding your coverage, feel free to reach out, and we’ll be happy to assist!
How often will I need to attend physical therapy sessions?
The frequency of visits will depend on your individual goals and condition, but typically it is recommended that patients attend 2-3 times per week for a minimum of 4-6 weeks in order to maximize results. Your therapist will provide more details during your initial appointment.
How long will it take for me to see results?
Every person’s situation is unique; therefore the amount of time needed to reach goals varies. With commitment and dedication from both you and your physical therapist, you can expect to start seeing results within a few weeks. The more positive lifestyle changes you make, the faster your progress will be!
Will my physical therapist be able to answer any questions I have about my condition?
Yes! Your physical therapist should be available to discuss any concerns or questions you have regarding your condition or treatment plan. Don’t hesitate to bring up any issues that may arise during the course of therapy.
What if I feel too much pain during a session?
If at any time during your physical therapy session you experience increased pain, it’s important to let your therapist know so they can adjust the intensity or technique as necessary. Your therapist will work with you to make sure that treatment is comfortable and effective for you.
How will I know when I no longer need physical therapy?
Your physical therapist should be able to provide guidance on when it is appropriate to stop attending physical therapy sessions based on your progress, goals, and overall health status. It’s important to listen to your therapist and continue with treatment until they feel you are ready to move on.
