  • Our services may be covered by your insurance provider if you have out-of-network care included in your insurance plan. In general, we participate in out-of-network coverage with commercial insurance plans. As a courtesy, we will file claims to your insurance for you so that you may get reimbursement according to your plan’s benefits. We do not participate in Medicare or Medicaid and do not submit to these plans for reimbursement. If you do not have out-of-network benefits or prefer to pay outside of your insurance plan, cash pay rates are available on inquiry. Please allow up to 2 business days for insurance verification after submission of this form.

    We look forward to discussing working together with you!

  • Please wear clothing you feel comfortable moving in. We have some clothing (shorts, t-shirts) in the office if you require a change of clothing.

  • Our office does not have a lobby. If the door is locked when you arrive, it means we are still with our previous client. At the scheduled time of your appointment, we will welcome you into the treatment area. There is a small bench outside the door for you to sit on if you arrive early.

    If you require the restroom in the Union Square office, it is in the main hallway as you approach the office directly across from the second stairwell door. At your first appointment, we will discuss your care, do a full body assessment, and agree on a treatment plan.

“I’ve been to physical therapy many times, but it was not until I started working with Jena that physical therapy worked for me. The online scheduling is easy, and she makes it very easy for me to do my exercises by providing videos and specific directions. I’ll never go anywhere else again! ”
