Every situation is different. We say something should change within 4 visits.  It might not be gone, but changed.  If it's not changing we need to find a different route. 

Here are our targets.  At visit one, we are going to do a thorough assessment and make a treatment plan off of that assessment.  

Three things happen after a session.  You get better. You get Worse. Or it stays the same.  Each of these responses are clues and things that help us on the next visit.  I believe the second visit is actually more important than the first.

Our goal after that first visit is for something to change, hopefully, better.  If it's worse, while not ideal, it means we are very close to having it figured out.  No change, is our least favorite response.  In this situation we are going to re-evalauate as we must have missed something. 

Once we have the pattern figured out it usually takes another 3-6 visits to clear the pain for new things, perhaps longer for more chronic pain problems.  That is why we offer 6 and 12 visit plan of care packages depending on your needs.  

How many visits it take to keep it away depends on how long the causative pattern has been there, nature of the injury, health of the person amongst other variables.  

Our goal is not to treat you once and then never see you again.   We want to help guide you to make long term change.  After your initial plan of care you may opt for one of our PHYT For Tomorrow Membership plans.   

No!  You can come to us without a doctors referral.  Physical and Occupational Therapists have direct access rights in the state of Ohio.  That means you can see us without a referral.

Our initial evaluation is thorough and if we need to make a referral to another provider we will be quick to do so. 

PHYT For Function is a self pay, out of network provider with all insurances. We do not participate in Medicare. 

We have chosen to be private pay so that we can provide the most exceptional, private, and custom therapy experience.  For a full explanation on the value add of cash services plus why they may actually be cheaper for you, read our article here.

On request, we will provide detailed documentation that you can provide directly to your insurance provider for any potential out of network benefits. 

Sessions Include any treatment, post session report of findings, home exercise videos with video links to exercises, and detailed paperwork if you would like to submit the receipt to your insurance (to be applied to out of network benefits).

We DO NOT participate in Medicare. If you have Medicare and would still like to be seen self pay please contact us for a full description of services we are able to provide. 

If you are not satisfied with our level of attention, service, and care we will refund your visit 100%. 

We cannot guarantee that we can fix any pain problem.  After our evaluation we will give you best advise and what expectations we think are appropriate for you.  If we don't think we can help we will refer to the appropriate medical provider.   

All appointments are done fully clothed. We typically recommend wearing what you would normally wear to exercise in.

 Most sessions will involve manual therapy that may require access to the body.  A loose fitting shirt, sports bra, or tank top is preferred for neck, shoulder, or mid back pain problems.  Please bring or wear shorts for low back, hip, knee, or foot issues.  

We have really cool, paper shorts if you need them....haha.
