Why Bayfield PT

The valley's physical therapy clinic — now bigger and better

Bayfield Physical Therapy has been part of this community since the 1990s. In 2026, Pine River Physical Therapy joined us, bringing both of Bayfield's clinics together under one roof. That means more therapists, more appointment times, and one team serving everyone from Ignacio to Vallecito — without the drive to Durango.

  • One-on-one, full-hour visits with a licensed PT — never handed off to a tech
  • Direct access — no referral needed for most plans
  • Medicare, Health First Colorado & most major insurance accepted
  • Surgeon protocols followed for patients operated on in Durango, Farmington & beyond
  • Locally owned by Kendall Gill & Jeremy Brown

Questions

Frequently asked

Do I need a doctor's referral for physical therapy in Colorado?
No. Colorado is a direct-access state, so you can schedule with a physical therapist without a referral. Some insurance plans still require a referral or prescription for coverage. Medicare does not. If you're unsure, call us at (970) 884-2423 and we'll verify your benefits before your first visit.
What insurance do you accept?
We accept Medicare, Health First Colorado (Medicaid), and most major commercial plans. See our insurance page for the current list. We verify benefits before your first visit and tell you what to expect for copays or deductibles.
What if I don't have insurance?
We offer straightforward self-pay rates. Call for current pricing.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Photo ID, insurance card, any referral or prescription, imaging or surgical reports if you have them, a list of medications, and comfortable clothing you can move in. Arrive about 15 minutes early to complete paperwork, or download the forms ahead of time.
