Physical Therapy & Rehab in Kansas City, MO
Kansas City patients get physical therapy in the same building as their treating provider, which matters when restrictions need to change mid-course. Our therapy team progresses patients against the physical demands of the job they are returning to — a 70-pound lift on a dock is a different goal than a seated inspection role.

Which rules apply in Kansas City, MO
Kansas City work injuries land in three different systems. Missouri state claims run through the Missouri Division of Workers' Compensation, where the employer or its insurer generally directs medical care, so we confirm authorization before treatment. Kansas state claims run through the Kansas Division of Workers Compensation, where the employer likewise generally directs the choice of provider and permanent impairment is rated under the AMA Guides edition Kansas has adopted. Federal claims run under FECA and are administered by OWCP. Federal employees filing under FECA choose their own initial treating physician — that right belongs to the worker, not to the agency and not to us.
Federal therapy courses require OWCP authorization, which we request with the clinical justification attached. State-side therapy is authorized through the employer, insurer or TPA before the first session.
