No, I am not contracted with any insurance providers.

You may be able to submit your receipts to your insurance provider in order to receive partial reimbursement based on your “out of network” benefits.

The short answer is you’ll get better, faster, and longer-lasting results. Here’s why working with a cash-based physical therapist is different:

1. One-on-one attention:
Insurance clinics require therapists to see multiple patients at once just to stay afloat. I work with one patient at a time for 60–90 minutes, allowing for full hands-on treatment, detailed assessments each visit, and time for education so you understand your body and how to keep it healthy even once we’re finished!

2. Freedom from insurance limitations:
Insurance dictates what I can treat, how long I can treat, and when I have to stop. In my practice, I focus on your whole body, not just one “approved” area. If your hip pain is caused by your ankle, I’ll treat your ankle — no insurance barriers or hoops to jump through!

3. Less paperwork, more care:
Insurance-based therapists spend a huge portion of their time on documentation and justification. I don’t. That means I’m fully focused on you during your session — not typing notes for an insurance company!

4. Going beyond “out of pain”:
Insurance wants to cancel your visits as soon as you start to feel a little better even if you haven’t reached any of your higher level physical goals. It’s not good enough just to “get by” without pain. I want you to strive and get back to any physical goal you have — running, gardening, sports, working out, playing with your kids or grandkids. You name it and I’ll get you there!

5. Better access and communication:
Because I work with fewer patients, I can be available between visits to answer questions, review your exercises, and make sure you’re on track. You’ll always have direct access to me!

Ultimately, my goal is to get you better as efficiently as possible — saving you both time and money by addressing the root cause and helping you stay well long after therapy ends!

I don’t believe in a one-size fits all approach to care, so frequency of appointments varies from person to person. Some people are seen as often as 2 times per week, and others 1-2 times per month. It really depends on your individual needs and goals.

No, a referral is not needed to be seen.

No, not necessarily. While historically this has been the approach, recent studies show that early access to physical therapy–rather than delayed access due to extended wait times for a physician’s referral–results in lower costs, earlier return to work, and greater patient satisfaction.

As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, I am trained to screen for injuries and disorders which fall outside my scope of practice and will refer you out to other medical providers as needed.

My practice was founded with the primary goal of being different from the traditional approach. But don’t take my word for it. Click here to read some testimonials from patients who wondered the same thing before working with me!

Yes, I do! I want you to feel confident in your choice to invest in your health! ANY and ALL treatment you receive at Movement PT & Spine is covered by a full “Love It Or Leave It” Money Back Guarantee. That means, you leave completely satisfied with the care you receive from me, or you DON’T pay for it.

I also have a “3 Visit Policy.” That means that if you’re not seeing progress within the first 3 follow-up sessions, I will refund any remaining balance on your plan of care and do whatever I can to find you the right provider within my network of local specialists.

Imagine you have the power to control your pain, stiffness and ability to do your work or daily activities.
