FAQS

Here are answers to some common questions. 

  • What are your business hours?

    Tuesday 8 am-12 pm & Saturdays 8 am-4 pm


    On other days, by appointment only!

  • What does the evaluation include and what is the cost?

    Our evaluation is a 75-minute deep dive into posture, mobility, and biomechanics and includes your first hands-on treatment!


     The cost is complimentary to you, and afterward, we will show you discounted treatment plan options that can fit nearly any schedule or budget. 


     By spending the 1-on-1 time together on day 1, we can design custom treatment and training programs that get you real results with minimal treatments while also teaching you about your body and the things you can do in the gym or at home to take care of whatever ails you!


    Follow-up visits generally range from $75-$90 per 30-minute session, depending on the plan you choose.

  • Do you accept insurance?

    We do not participate in health insurance, however, we do accept FSA/HSA (Health Savings Accounts) cards, as long as they have a major credit card logo (Visa or MasterCard).  Check with your plan provider for specific details as to what your benefits are and their limits.  Sometimes, you will have to pay out of pocket, and then submit the bill to your HSA plan.


    The reason we do it this way is so we can provide you with the best quality service without being influenced by what insurance will and will not pay for.  Insurance-driven rehabilitaion has become so watered down over the years because reimbursement rates have continued to go down for rehab services and have forced Rehabilitation Clinics to see 6-10 patients per hour, unfortunately, that scenario is why very few people get the results they are looking for with insurance paid therapies.  


    If you’re tired of being neglected, ignored, or feel like you’re not being heard, challenged, or not making progress, then it may be time to invest in you and your body… after all, you only get one.



  • What is our gurantee?

    We can give you the one-on-one personalized care you deserve, remain competitive with what your insurance co-pay would be anyway, and design you a custom treatment and program that gets you results in far less time!  

  • How to get reimbursed by insurance?

    If you are seeing a healthcare provider out of your insurance network, your insurance company may still reimburse you for a portion of the cost. 


    After our appointment, we offer you a superbill that provides all the necessary information your insurance needs to process this claim.

  • Do we offer subscription services? Pay as you go?

    Yes, we do. We offer commitment-based payments or subscription-based services to lessen the burden of having payments upfront for future visits. 


    Also, to remain competitive with insurance-driven rehabilitation, we offer monthly maintenance programs to continue your journey in maximizing movement with each treatment.
