Our Approach to Care: The Direct-Pay Model

You deserve physical therapy that's focused entirely on you – your progress, your questions, your goals. That's why I've chosen to operate mvmt·ology on a direct-pay basis. This model, where payment for service is handled directly between you and mvmt·ology, allows me to prioritize your care without external constraints. It’s a deliberate choice that shapes a more personal and effective therapeutic experience.

Here’s a few benefits of the direct-pay model.

The Importance of Dedicated Time & Attention

A successful outcome begins with a thorough understanding of your unique situation. This requires time. At mvmt·ology, every session is 55 minutes of one-on-one care with me, a Doctor of Physical Therapy.

This structure ensures undivided attention. It allows for a comprehensive assessment, concierge treatment, and the space for meaningful dialogue about your progress and goals. Rather than moving between clients, my focus is entirely on you for the duration of your visit.

A Commitment to Quality of Care

With dedicated time comes a higher quality of care. The one-on-one environment allows clinical reasoning to be guided by a single factor: what’s best for you.

Your treatment plan is developed based on your body’s specific needs and your personal goals, not on standardized protocols or insurance-driven requirements. This freedom enables a more nuanced and holistic approach, where we can address the root cause of an issue, not just the symptoms.

The True Cost of a Visit

In a typical in-network model, you might be seeing your physical therapist 2-3 times per week to start whereas most clients at mvmt·ology start at one session per week. The cost of pricey copays, time traveling to and from frequent PT sessions, and missed work or daycare coordination starts to add up.

The efficiency of focused, one-on-one sessions frequently means that clients who chose mvmt·ology can achieve their goals in fewer total visits. By addressing the core issue more directly, this model can result in a more streamlined and, ultimately, more economical path to recovery.

You Have Options

My commitment is to provide an uncompromising standard of care. The direct-pay model is the structure that allows me to deliver on that promise. It fosters a genuine therapeutic partnership and ensures your treatment is always personal, comprehensive, and focused on your well-being.
