Where are we located?
We can are currently practicing in Asheville, NC.
If you do not live in the area we are able to perform consultations via googlehangouts, skype, etc.
Do I need a prescription?
No. Physical Therapists are an autonomous profession and do not require a prescription unless required by the patient's insurance.
Do we take insurance?
We do not deal directly with your insurance company. However, we provide an itemized receipt that you will be able to submit to your insurance for out-of-network benefits.
Why don’t you take insurance?
Unfortunately, traditional insurance models prevent us from treating patients in the most efficient manner. The low reimbursement rates coupled with increased regulations and paperwork significantly reduce the amount of time available to spend with patients. As an independent practice we are able to spend an hour of one-on-one time to provide the best care. This increase in attention, manual therapy, and quality of care leads to quicker recoveries.
