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?

You receive 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 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 am 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 osteopathic techniques to help facilitate healing where the body asks for help while respecting the tissues. This work is gentle and does not impose or force work the body.

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

  • Craniosacral Therapy

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

• Your specific functional movement

• Movement science-based yoga

• Pilates (including Oov® and Scolio-Pilates)

• Mindfulness-Based Pain Relief (MBPR)

Approach: Together, we will find the source of your issue, identify influences and potential barriers. Then you and I create strategies and support rooted in your existing strengths to give you the results you want.

You will learn:

• Strategies that get you long-term, sustainable results.

• Personal care that is matched to you and your needs.

• How to cultivate resilience and tap into it over a lifetime.

You will receive:

• A fluid, flexible, personal home program that easily fits into your day — because we base it on what you’re already doing!

• A summary after every session so that you have a reference for what we covered.

• Direct, personal access to me between appointments so that you don’t have to wait to get your questions answered.

Your home program will include only activities that match your current pursuits and fit your time constraints. No more struggling to find 30 extra minutes in your day to do boring, repetitive exercises that have no connection to your daily life.
