Frequently Asked Questions
Treatments and Therapy FAQs
How does your work differ from other massage therapists?
I do not do massage therapy. My work is best described as manual therapy as influenced by osteopathy. I work with clients clothed and use a variety of techniques in order to release tensions within the musculoskeletal system and increase the likelihood of healing and restoration of function.
Are there specific regions of the body that you specialize in?
No, not per se. I am well versed to work with pain and/or injuries that arise anywhere in the body. I treat clients as unique individuals and acknowledge that not everyone’s neck or knee pain is the same. I find it best to look at each client’s unique tension patterns when I treat, and to not assume that a painful low back has its origins or dysfunctions solely at the site of the pain.
Do you work with oils, lotions or draping?
I do not use oils or lotions in my work and I work with clients in clothing, so there is no need for traditional draping
Do you treat children?
My work is best suited for adults and adolescents. I do not work with infants/toddlers or young children but know practitioners whom I can refer to for these populations.
Appointments, Payments and Safety Policy FAQs
What is your cancellation policy?
I require a minimum of 24-hours notice when cancelling a session. If an appointment is cancelled within 24-hours I will require full payment for the session, unless a substitute is found to take the open space.
What types of payment do you accept?
I accept cash, check, all major credit cards, Venmo, Square Cash, Apple Cash and Apply Pay.
Are masks required in the office?
Masks are currently not required in the office; you are welcome to wear a mask during treatment, and I have masks in the office should you feel more comfrotable with me in a mask.
Do you accept worker’s compensation or automobile (no fault) accident insurance?
Yes, I accept insurance from worker’s compensation claims or no fault automobile accident claims. I will ask for more paperwork/authorizations in the event that we are working on an insurance claim.
Do you accept health insurance?
Not at this time, though I am in the process of being accredited to accept insurance through the Veterans Administration.
Do you offer package discounts?
Yes, prepaid packages are eligible for the following discount: 5% off of a 5-treatment package; 10% off of a 10-treatment package.
