FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Getting Started
What is mobile physical therapy?
Mobile physical therapy brings personalized, one-on-one physical therapy directly to you in the comfort of your own home, office, or gym. Rather than traveling to a clinic, we work together in your own environment to help you move better, build strength, reduce pain, and get back to the activities you love. Each session is tailored to your goals, lifestyle, and individual needs.
What areas do you serve?
MVMNT Matters Mobile PT serves clients from Cherry Creek to Castle Rock. By bringing physical therapy to you, I make it easier to prioritize your health and recovery without the added time and hassle of traveling to a clinic. If you're unsure whether your location falls within my service area, feel free to reach out!
What equipment do I need?
Very little! One of the benefits of mobile physical therapy is that we can make use of the space and equipment you already have at home. Depending on your goals, we may use everyday household items, resistance bands, weights, or other simple exercise equipment. I'll bring bands, light weights, and any necessary specialized equipment, so there's no need to purchase anything before getting started.
What types of conditions do you treat?
I treat a variety of orthopedic and musculoskeletal conditions, tendon injuries, and post-operative conditions. I also work with active individuals looking to improve strength, mobility, and performance or return to activities such as running, golf, tennis, and barre. Whether you're recovering from an injury or working toward a new goal, treatment is tailored to your needs and what matters most to you.
Do I need a referral?
No! You can schedule directly with me without a physician referral. As a cash-pay physical therapy practice, you can get started without needing a referral from your doctor. If your condition requires additional medical evaluation or collaboration with another healthcare provider, I'll help guide you in the right direction.
Specialties
Orthopedic Injuries & Pain
As a board-certified Orthopaedic Clinical Specialist (OCS), I have advanced clinical training and expertise in evaluating and treating musculoskeletal conditions. This specialty certification reflects a commitment to advanced clinical practice and ongoing professional development, and is held by fewer than 10% of physical therapists nationwide.
Persistent Pain
Pain that sticks around can be frustrating and affect many aspects of daily life. As a Therapeutic Pain Specialist (TPS), I take an individualized, evidence-informed approach that considers the many factors influencing pain. Together, we'll work to improve movement, build strength, and restore confidence in your body so you can return to meaningful activities.
Tennis & Racquet Sports
As a physical therapy contractor with the USTA Pro Circuit, I bring experience working in the competitive tennis environment and an understanding of the physical demands of the sport. Tennis places unique demands on the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and lower body. Treatment focuses on building the strength, mobility, and load tolerance needed for serving, groundstrokes, and court movement, with a plan tailored to your level of play and goals.
Golf Performance
As a TPI Medical Level 3 certified provider, I have completed the highest level of medical training offered through the Titleist Performance Institute. This specialized training allows me to assess how mobility, strength, and movement patterns may influence your golf swing and overall performance.
Running & Active Lifestyles
Whether you're building mileage, returning after an injury, or simply wanting to stay active without pain, we'll work together to improve strength, manage training demands, and build the capacity to keep moving.
Strength, Conditioning & Movement
My background in strength and conditioning informs an active approach to rehabilitation. From improving foundational strength to progressing more advanced exercises, treatment is designed to help you feel stronger and more capable in your everyday activities and workouts.
Barre & Fitness Enthusiasts
For those who love barre, Pilates-inspired movement, or group fitness, treatment can focus on the strength, mobility, balance, and movement control needed to participate comfortably and confidently. We'll tailor your program to the specific demands of the activities you enjoy.
Payment & Insurance
Why cash pay instead of traditional insurance?
The cash-pay model allows me to focus on what matters most: you, your goals, and your progress. Without the administrative requirements and limitations that can come with insurance-based care, I provide individualized, one-on-one sessions tailored to your needs. Combined with the convenience of receiving physical therapy in your own home, this model eliminates travel time and offers greater transparency around the cost of care. Longer, dedicated sessions may also reduce the need for multiple shorter appointments each week, helping you save time while making meaningful progress toward your goals. Depending on your insurance benefits and treatment needs, this approach may also save you money compared to traditional insurance-based physical therapy. While I do not bill insurance directly, I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
What types of payment do you accept?
Payment is due at the time of your appointment. I accept credit cards, debit cards, and HSA/FSA cards. Because MVMNT Matters is a cash-pay practice, payment is made directly to the practice rather than billed to your insurance company. Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds may be eligible for use for qualifying physical therapy services, depending on your plan.
What is a superbill?
A superbill is a detailed receipt that includes information about your physical therapy services, such as the date of treatment, applicable billing codes, and the amount paid. You can submit it to your insurance company to request potential out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your individual plan and benefits. I'm happy to provide a superbill and encourage you to contact your insurance company to understand your coverage before your first visit.
Appointments & Treatment
Do you offer dry needling?
Yes! Dry needling may be incorporated into your treatment plan when appropriate, based on your symptoms, goals, and individual needs. It can be used alongside exercise and other physical therapy techniques to help address certain types of muscle pain and movement limitations. Dry needling is always an optional part of treatment, and we'll discuss whether it's a good fit for you before proceeding.
What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule?
I understand that life happens! If you need to cancel or reschedule, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice whenever possible. Appointments canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice, as well as missed appointments, may be subject to a cancellation fee of $50. I'll do my best to accommodate schedule changes when availability allows. Thank you for respecting the time reserved for your care!
