2. Do I need a referral in order to provide health, wellness, and fitness services to a client?

PT Practice Act Sec. 453.302. (c) and PT Rules §322.1. (a)(2)(B) authorize a PT to provide instructions to any person who is asymptomatic relating to the instructions being given without a referral, including instruction to promote health, wellness, and fitness.

Interventions provided beyond this exception to referral must adhere to the provisions in the PT Practice Act/Rules regarding the referral /treatment without referral requirements.
