Medical Partner Referral Program
LFR partners with physical therapists, chiropractors, and primary care physicians to provide a seamless handoff for patients ready to transition out of clinical care.
"Our role is to take what physical therapy started and make it stick. The work doesn't end when insurance does — that's often when the most important work begins."
— Jonathan Gray, Founder
