Therapy is usually covered by your health insurance provider, but coverage will vary depending upon the individual plan. Patients are typically responsible for an out-of-pocket expense that generally includes co-payment and/or coinsurance. These charges vary, so it is best to contact your insurance company prior to receiving therapy. In addition, our staff can also assist you. Just give us a call. We offer financial assistance to qualifying patients, along with generous payment plans to help make your care affordable.

We want you to be as comfortable as possible. That’s why we typically recommend wearing loose fitting clothing, such as a tee-shirt and shorts or sweatpants, that are easy to move around in. In some cases, the therapist may ask you to put on a hospital gown in order to more easily access the area where they will be treating. If you are here for aquatic therapy, be sure to bring your bathing suit and towel.

Our therapists can evaluate patients to determine if they need custom orthotics. If it is determined that you will benefit from an orthotic, the therapist will make a cast mold of your feet. The casts are then sent to a local lab for fabrication based on your therapist’s recommendations.
