FAQs

1. How do virtual physical therapy sessions work?

Once you book a session, you’ll receive a secure video link via Zoom for your appointment. During the session:

We’ll discuss your medical history, symptoms, and goals.
I’ll guide you through movement assessments to evaluate mobility, strength, and functional limitations.
You’ll receive a personalized treatment plan, including tailored exercises and modifications based on your progress.
Access to PhysiApp, where your prescribed exercises come with detailed video demonstrations and tracking tools.

2. Do I need a physician referral for virtual physical therapy?

It depends. South Carolina allows direct access to physical therapy, meaning you can start treatment for 30 days without a referral. However, some conditions may require a physician’s approval, and if your case is complex or outside my scope, I’ll guide you on the next best steps.

I am also licensed in California and Oregon.

3. Why don’t you accept insurance?

I believe in providing transparent, high-quality care without insurance restrictions. Many insurance companies limit treatment options, dictate visit numbers, and require extensive paperwork that takes time away from patient care. A cash-based model allows me to:

Focus on personalized treatment instead of meeting insurance requirements.
Offer affordable and flexible pricing without surprise bills.
Provide extended session times compared to typical in-network visits.

You can, however, check with your insurance provider to see if you can submit your receipt for reimbursement under out-of-network benefits.

enhancement, mobility improvement, and strength training, designed for individuals looking to optimize their fitness rather than recover from injury.

Muscle and joint pain (back, neck, shoulder, knee, etc.)
