Manual therapy is a hands-on approach utilized to address joint impairments in the spine, extremities, and soft tissue. It is utilized to release adhesions, reduce tension, decrease stiffness, improve range of motion, increase circulation, promote tissue healing, decrease pain, and restore function. I frequently utilize these techniques due to their benefits before strengthening, retraining, and addressing faulty movement patterns.

You and I will share a conversation before we schedule our initial visit to determine that this approach is the best approach for you. Our initial visit will consist of a thorough evaluation involving your history and clinical presentation. Through your subjective and objection presentation, we can determine the appropriate clinical decision-making that is specific to you and your needs including specific treatment options, treatment frequency and duration, and what you will be able to achieve independently. You can expect your initial session will be longer than our follow-up visits. This will allow our initial visit to flow from the evaluation directly into treatment so that we can start the healing process from day one.

Prior to scheduling our initial visit, I prefer to speak with all potential clients. This allows us to connect and determine the best initial approach to your care. At that time we can determine earliest availability to initiate care. You can reach out to me via email: mary@moyermanualtherapy.com and I will typically respond within one business day, if not sooner.

I am very functional in my treatment methods and utilize exercises and activities that a client will be able to perform independently and successfully within their home. I find that this allows for the client to find ways to incorporate their home program into their life and daily activities. This increased ease of independence facilitates tissue healing, long-term pain reduction, and improved function with activities of daily living. I utilize a treatment table during our visits, have transportable equipment, and make affordable recommendations should we feel this is necessary for your treatment and recovery.

You and I will have a conversation before we schedule our initial visit, and I will be able to advise you on how to dress and prepare. I utilize a treatment table, so we just need enough open room for the table and some space to move around.

After your initial visit, I will determine the frequency of treatments recommended for you and the anticipated duration of the treatments. The initial recommendation is determined by your needs including your goals, the tissue irritability and reactivity, and the stage of tissue healing. Many variables determine a client’s needs and are dependent on you. Flexibility, transparency, and shared responsibility are keys to our success. Also, the frequency and duration may evolve and change throughout our working relationship based on your success and changing needs.

Your initial visit with be a 90 minutes to allow for a thorough evaluation and treatment. This visit will include an additional fee to cover the extra time required for this visit.

Your follow-up visits will be 60 minutes and at a lower fee from the initial visit.

Fees vary depending on travel time and distance. To determine your fee, please reach out to me via email with your address and phone number so we can discuss options that are specific to you. mary@moyermanualtherapy.com

I spent the bulk of my career working in busy clinics, having to multi-task by treating 2 to 3 clients at once and utilizing technicians to assist with treatment delivery. This classic, insurance-based approach can be more stressful to both the client and the clinician and does not always lead to optimal rehabilitation and treatment outcomes. Primarily for that reason, I have chosen to utilize a private pay option to ensure that I bring superior care and dedication to your healthcare needs into your home. This allows us to develop a treatment protocol that is most appropriate for you, not dictated by your insurance company. My ability to travel to you allows you more freedom in your day and busy schedule. It also allows me get a mental picture of your life and how we can make your therapeutic experience a more successful one. Utilizing this one-on-one approach in a focused environment can allow for significantly improved treatment outcomes and can lead to fewer treatment sessions saving you both time and money.

When deciding if private pay is your best option, please consider the extensive benefits that come with this choice:

• One-on-one individualized care.

• Personalized attention in the privacy of your home.

• Excellence in care from Mary Moyer, PT, OCS, FAAOMPT. A clinician who has been in practice since 2001, has achieved Fellowship credentialing, orthopedic specialist certification, and community recognition in excellence.

• Improved outcomes, flexibility in care, and typically fewer treatments due to one-on-one focused care.

I recommend contacting your insurance company for information on reimbursement from an “out of network” provider for physical therapy services. I am able to provide you with an invoice that you can submit directly to your insurance company.

I primarily travel to and treat clients in the greater Austin area including Cedar Park, Leander, Pflugerville, and Round Rock. Longer travel times may affect the cost of service. For questions regarding travel and costs specific to you, please contact me via email with your phone number and address. mary@moyermanualtherapy.com
