FAQs

  • Think gym clothes! Please come to your appointment in comfortable, non-restrictive clothing you can move in, like shorts and a t-shirt or tank top. Don't forget to bring sneakers and socks.

    Our hands-on approach to assessment and treatment often requires us to see and access the skin around the area of injury. To make this easier:

    • For lower body issues: If you are coming in for hip, knee, or foot pain, please bring the shoes you most commonly wear for walking or running.

    • For shoulder or upper back issues: To best assess the shoulder complex, we recommend females wear a sports bra and/or a tank top. This allows for the most effective evaluation and treatment.

    Your comfort is our top priority. We may ask you to remove certain articles of clothing for a more effective assessment or treatment. If you ever feel uncomfortable with a particular technique, please let your therapist know immediately. We can always adapt our approach to ensure you feel safe and respected.

  • We believe the traditional insurance model often prevents physical therapists from treating you in the best possible manner. You deserve more than that. Our entire practice is built to deliver unmatched, personalized care that ultimately leads to fewer visits, better outcomes, and reduced spending on co-pays and unnecessary appointments.

    Whereas most PT clinics see clients 2-3 times per week, we typically see you just once a week. This is because we are structured to be one-on-one with you for the entire visit, allowing us to truly listen and diagnose the root of your symptoms. We focus on high-level, hands-on treatment and provide the necessary resources to help you manage your situation with confidence and autonomy long after you leave our office.

    To provide this elevated standard of care, MoveWell PT is a dedicated out-of-network provider.

    While we do not directly bill insurance, many of our patients with PPO plans or Health Savings Accounts (HSA) receive significant reimbursement—often between 30-70% of the cost after meeting their out-of-network deductible. We make this process straightforward by providing you with a "superbill" (a detailed receipt) after each appointment to submit to your insurer.

    To help you determine your specific benefits, we encourage you to call your insurance company and have created a simple worksheet here to guide you through that conversation.

    Important Note for Medicare Beneficiaries: Due to federal laws, we are unable to provide services or a superbill for reimbursement to Medicare beneficiaries. We encourage you to seek a provider who is in-network.

    Please feel free to contact us with any questions.

  • Yes, absolutely. Physical therapy is a qualified medical expense, and we gladly accept FSA (Flexible Spending Account) and HSA (Health Savings Account) cards. As long as your card is affiliated with a major credit card, such as Visa or Mastercard, you can use it for payment just like a regular credit card.
