Does insurance cover this work?
In most cases, no. I can provide receipts for clients who wish to file their own claims. Most insurance companies do not cover the services provided by a NC Licensed Massage & Bodywork Therapist unless you have a specific provision in your policy for it.

What do I wear?
I prefer to do a standing postural evaluation prior to working with you. The purpose for this is to get a sense of how gravity affects the vertical alignment of your structure. It is most helpful for this evaluation to be done with you dressed in your underwear. Loose fitting athletic shorts and a sports bra or a two piece bathing suit (as made appropriate by gender, obviously) are also OK. This evaluation gives an important layer of information, which helps to inform treatment strategies. If, however, being evaluated in this fashion is for any reason problematic for you, it is not obligatory.

How does treatment take place?
In most cases, I prefer to work with you in the clothing you wear for the postural evaluation. Sometimes I will begin work with you in a seated position. The majority of your session will be spent lying down on a comfortable treatment table. I will typically be moving different areas of your body through various ranges of motion. Covering you with a top sheet can be cumbersome in light of this movement. It also obscures my ability to assess how your body moves and where it might be stuck or need additional treatment. Of course, I keep lots of clean sheets on hand. If for any reason you would prefer to be covered up there will be no problem.

How often do I need to be treated?
Results of treatment vary with each individual, but generally goals are reached with four to twelve weeks of treatment one to two times each week. Chronic and more severe conditions will require greater frequency and increased length of treatment.

Is each session the same?
No, each session is unique and tailored to your particular needs.
