How much should I expect to pay for physical therapy without insurance?

Hi! So I was in a wreck last year and broke my pelvis and l3-5 vertebrae which i’m prettty much back to normal from (so I thought atleast.) I was on my dad’s insurance at the time which paid for surgery and the stay etc but he quit his job and has been trying to get on disability since so I don’t have his insurance anymore. When I was at the hospital, they were suggesting I get physical therapy as I wasn’t able to ambulate on my own for about 2 1/2 months afterward, 5 before I was doing it decently lol. I said no to physical therapy because they were trying to send me to 2 facilities that I have not had anywhere near good experiences with in my time working 911 EMS. I recovered pretty well on my own and the bone fused back together perfectly. However I was just talking to one of my coworkers about healthcare and costs and the topic of my physical therapy came up and she asked me “if that’s why I walk like that.” Long story short it made me self conscious and I would like to atleast consult about starting physical therapy lol. My question is how much should I expect to pay for appointments without health insurance? Thanks!
