No doctor’s referral needed!

In the state of Utah, physical therapy is considered “direct access,” which means a physician’s referral is not required.

Utah has no restrictions on who can see a physical therapist, nor when or how often. You can have as many PT sessions as you wish, and a doctor’s note will never be required for you to seek or continue treatment.

Movement Sense is a cash-based, fee-for-service physical therapy practice. This simply means:

• I do not accept or work with any insurance programs, including Medicare.

• Payment is due at the time of service.

• You are welcome to use cash, check, credit/debit card, HSA, or FSA as means of payment.

Why do you not take insurance?

I can give you better care this way. Because we are not beholden to the rules set by your insurance plan, you will receive care that is specific to your needs and situation, delivered in a way that works better for your busy life.

In many cases, this ends up being more cost-effective for my clients, because you:

• Receive a higher quality of care

• Can recover in a shorter time frame, with more lasting results

Out-of-network reimbursement

If you are seeking insurance reimbursement for out-of-network services, I’m happy to provide a superbill. However, please first check with your insurance plan to make sure they provide out-of-network benefits.

Treatment focus is finding the root cause and may not be where you are experiencing your symptoms. Every person has a unique story and health baseline. So, the number of visits you’ll need to meet your goals will depend on many factors, such as:

• Your motivation to participate as an equal and active partner in your own recovery and care.

• The amount of time you’ve been experiencing the issue you want to resolve.

• Your body’s response to treatment.

• Your own internal timeline for healing.

Neuroscience Based Approach

• Breathwork & Assessment

• Manual physical therapy - Gentle hands on work to help facilitate healing where the body asks for help respecting the tissues, never imposing or forcing the body.

  • Visceral Manipulation, Neural Manipulation, and New Manual Articular Manipulation

  • Craniosacral Therapy

• Integrative & lifestyle approach (where we see how things like sleep, nutrition, environment, stress, support system, etc., may be impacting your healing)

• Your specific functional movement

• Movement science-based yoga

• Pilates (including Oov® and Scolio-Pilates)

• Mindfulness-Based Pain Relief (MBPR)
