Testimonial"As an endurance athlete, I am very particular as to who I see for Physical Therapy, because a PT that works with Athletes is vastly different than your average PT. Dr. Val Lowe @ Physiopath is one of the only physiotherapists I’ve found that understands me as an athlete. Over the past 10+ years, Val has treated and counseled me through countless(not kidding, I can’t count them) injuries and helped me to successfully achieve a number of my goals. Since Val moved out of my area, I have struggled to find a practitioner that can provide the same level of relief ,strengthening and overall guidance. Despite the distance between us, I still rely on Val’s support and always will".

What happens after the 10 days?
Usually, we can connect with your doctor (or other medical pro) by sending over a treatment plan and getting the required signature. This means you may not have to make an extra trip to the physician's office while keeping your physician in the loop.

What If I Don't Have a Physician to Sign the Treatment Plan?
Although we can't change the 10-day rule according to state regulations, we're dedicated to making things easier for you and are here to support you in getting the required signature. Plus, we'll gladly provide you with the Plan of Care to take to your doctor's appointment, simplifying the process for you. Your peace of mind is at the heart of what we do, and we're committed to ensuring your experience is as smooth as possible!
Does Physiopath Take Health Insurance?
To give you the best care possible, Physiopath doesn't take payments directly from insurance. However, we'll give you a detailed receipt, aka a 'Superbill', showing the services you've received. You can then send this receipt to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. Keep in mind that Physiopath is considered an 'Out of Network' provider, so if your insurance plan includes coverage for out-of-network services, you may be eligible for reimbursement. Ultimately, reimbursement decisions lie with your insurance company.
What Payment Options Do You Have?
You've got choices! You can pay with:
- Credit Card
- HSA Card (Health Savings Account)
- Cash
- Venmo
- Zelle
What Kind of Space Do I Need for My at-home Physical Therapy Session?
It's best if you have a space that can fit a therapy table measuring 6ft x 3ft. Having a bit of extra room for standing exercises would also be great. Whether you're using a bedroom, kitchen, or living room, remember that having some privacy is important, especially if you're in a shared space like an office. Your comfort and convenience matter to us!
What Should I Wear?
Dress in comfy clothes that allow us to see the body part being assessed.
- If we're checking out your hips, legs, knees, or feet, shorts are great.
- For your neck, shoulder, or arm, a tank-top is the way to go.
- If it's your lower back, a t-shirt and comfy pants work well.
How long are the sessions?
- First Assessment: Around 1.5 hours
- Follow-up Visits: Up to 1 hour
What If I'm Not Cool with Needles?
No worries at all! Dr. Lowe will only use dry needling if you're on board. But if needles aren't your thing, she's got other skills up her sleeve to help you reach your goals. Your comfort matters!
