Why cash-based PT vs. standard practice, billing through insurance?

There are many answers to this questions but I will stick to these:

1. There are research backed benefits to cash-based practice including higher compliance rates and improved patient satisfaction.

2. No productivity standards limiting visit time, frequency, or duration. This allows for more flexibility when establishing our agreed upon plan of care.

What can I expect during a session?

Every session will be 1:1 and with the same PT. The initial session will be hands-on, as the PT will perform various tests/measures to assess current function to establish a program specific to your needs. The remaining sessions will be exercise dominant but may include manual therapy as well.

Do I need a referral from a doctor?

No - through direct access laws in VA, PTs are able to begin treatment without a referral.

Do I travel to you or will you travel to me?

Location of visits will be determined through a thorough intake assessment via phone or email. We offer both in person visits, onsite or traveling to you, and virtual visits. Depending on patient preference and/or problem level, we can offer a hybrid model as well (in person and virtual appointments).

What are the benefits of seeing a PT while pregnant or postpartum?

Our bodies change immensely as we carry and deliver babies including: hormones, weight, posture, cardiorespiratory fitness, etc. It is so important to learn safe and effective ways to stay active during pregnancy. Postpartum brings different challenges depending on labor/delivery intensity. New moms are often sent home from the hospital with minimal education and/or support for pain management and movement safety. Working with a physical therapist may help to decrease pain, improve mobility, and begin exercising in a safe manner.
