We are considered Out-Of-Network (OON) with all insurance providers. We do this for multiple reasons. Primarily, we believe in autonomy of care and that as specialized practitioners, we are the most equipped to decide the most appropriate care. Additionally, we believe in efficiency and are best able create a positive result while working with one client at a time. Utilizing our undivided attention, we are able to achieve greater outcomes in less time than other providers.
Fortunately, our receipts function as claim forms and can be submitted to insurance for reimbursement to the individual. The claim will go towards your OON benefits.
We accept all major credit cards, cash and check. HSA/FSA dollars can also be used for clinical services.
A credit card is required to reserve your appointment and payment is required at time of service. If you do not feel comfortable reading your credit card information over the phone, you are more than welcome to come into the office and pre-pay for your service, or you may login to your customer HIPPA portal and enter in the credit card information before hand. If a credit card is not uploaded within 24 hours of your appointment, your appointment is subject to be cancelled.
Yes, we require 24 hours notice for cancellation without penalty. Any cancellations under 24 hours will result in a full service fee. This ensures that our providers time is not being wasted, and can have enough time to be filled by another patient who needs care.
No. Several of our Physical Therapists are trained in Trigger Point Dry Needling which is a technique in which a needle is inserted into a taut band in muscle (aka, trigger point) to relieve pain or tension. It is a tool in the toolbox and our Physical Therapists are uniquely trained to assess, diagnose and determine the best treatment to help an individual overcome their current setbacks.
In the state of Ohio, PT’s are permitted to perform manipulations.
Pelvic floor physical therapy is a therapy treatment to help address pain, weakness, and dysfunction in the pelvic floor muscles. Both men and women can experience dysfunction with their pelvic floor. Anchor Wellness clients receive a private and thorough one hour evaluation by a licensed physical therapist with specialized training in the muscles of the pelvic floor. Research shows that strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles can reduce the effects of incontinence, organ prolapse, and many other conditions specific to women. Education is our greatest tool and clients are taught ways to independently manage issues such as bladder retraining, behavior/lifestyle changes, therapeutic exercise and modalities to improve quality of life. Our physical therapists are trained in manual treatment techniques, use of biofeedback for muscle retraining, and therapeutic exercise to address many of the symptoms associated with pelvic pain and incontinence.
What is really important to know is that physical therapy is the first-line treatment for stress and urge incontinence before any other interventions should be considered.
Unlike with traditional yoga in which the goal is growth in meditation and perfection of physical forms, the goal of trauma-sensitive yoga is to allow the participant to reconnect with and reclaim the body after traumatic event(s). While some of the forms may be similar, trauma-sensitive yoga is founded on choice-making, invitational language, non-coercion, and a shared-authentic-experience between facilitator and participant.
In a traumatic event such as abuse, rape, or war, the flight, fight, or freeze mode activated by the body is unable to keep the person safe from harm. This leads to mistrust and disconnection from the body oftentimes resulting in PTSD and related symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and hyper-vigilence. The goal of trauma-sensitive yoga is to heal this disconnection from the body through mindful movement. Research shows that trauma-sensitive yoga is just as effective as Cognitive Based talk-therapy in healing trauma and its various symptoms.
No, breathwork and meditation are not an explicit part of trauma-sensitive yoga and you will never be asked to close your eyes. Noticing the breath and internal landscape of your thoughts is an option to you in your practice but will never be a requirement.
To ensure your safety and success, we recommend starting with private sessions to learn proper Reformer techniques tailored to your needs. This individualized attention helps prevent injury and builds your confidence before joining group classes. Your instructor may suggest continuing privates if needed to ensure you’re fully prepared to transition smoothly into a group setting.
To ensure the best results, we require a full physical therapy (PT) appointment alongside Shockwave therapy. This allows the therapist to conduct a thorough assessment, address the root cause of your condition, and customize the treatment plan to your unique needs. Shockwave is most effective when integrated with targeted exercises and techniques, ensuring optimal safety and recovery.
