FAQs

Do you take Insurance?

We do not take insurance. In order to provide high-quality care, we are considered an out-of-network provider. This allows us the autonomy to provide one-to-one care, with longer treatment times, with the focus being on patient care. With this model, patients will have direct access to their therapist. Super bills are available upon request.

What should I expect during my (adult) first therapy visit?

Evaluations are always 90 minutes. This allows your therapist to get a detailed background history, and listen to the patient’s concerns/questions/goals for therapy. Following questioning, a movement screen and special tests (if warranted) will be performed. Every evaluation also includes treatment (manual therapy, dry needling if warranted. Please dress in shorts/t-shirt or other loose clothing. 

What should I expect during my child’s first therapy visit?

Depending on the age of your child- most evaluations will last 60-90 minutes. The session will begin with a thorough discussion about your child’s medical history, diagnosis, medications, current equipment use, and current or previous treatments.

What is DMI?

“Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) is a therapeutic technique used in physical and occupational therapy to treat children with motor delay by improving automatic postural responses and promoting progress towards developmental milestones. The goal of DMI is to provoke a specified active motor response from the child in response to defined dynamic exercises prescribed by the therapist. This comprehensive intervention incorporates current research on neurorehabilitation, technologies, and methodologies. DMI stimulates neuroplasticity to facilitate new neuronal connections and development of motor milestones. “ - From the DMI website
