YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. WE HAVE ANSWERS.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR/BRING TO PHYSICAL THERAPY?

Relatively loose or stretchy, comfortable clothes are always recommended. If your issue involves your neck or back, wear a tank top or sports bra; if it involves the lower body, opt for shorts. For cycling problems, bring your cycling kit and shoes. For running concerns, bring your shoes. 

DO I NEED A PRESCRIPTION OR REFERRAL TO GET PHYSICAL THERAPY TREATMENTS? 

Here in California, we are a direct access state and a licensed physical therapist can evaluate and treat musculoskeletal injuries, but with some limitations that your therapist will discuss with you. We always like to stay in close communication with your physician with your permission to maintain continuity of care.  

IS PHYSICAL THERAPY COVERED BY MY INSURANCE?

We are not providers for insurance companies or Medicare. This allows Dave to provide the highest quality one on one care to get the best results possible as quickly as possible. We can help you by providing a ‘superbill’ that you can send to your insurance company to try to get reimbursed. We suggest contacting your insurance company to check you ‘Out Of Networ k Benefits’ to see what they might cover. The cost of visits are as follows: Initial Evaluation $195, Follow-up visits $135, Bike Fitting $325 and Running Analysis $195. Give us a call at 707-545-1419 to get more information.

HOW OFTEN WILL I BE COMING IN?

The frequency of your visits will be determined at your Initial Evaluation when you work with Dave to establish your goals and a clear plan to reach them. Some problems can be solved in just 2-3 visits while others require 10-12 visits over the course of 3-4 months. You will work with Dave to come up with a plan that is affordable and effective to solve the problem as quickly as possible. Some patient work with Dave on a regular basis throughout the year to maintain optimal strength, flexibility, balance as well as joint and soft tissue mobility. The frequency of of these fitness/wellness session varies from 2-3 times per year to 1x/ per week for avid athletes seeking top form and injury prevention.

HOW LONG UNTIL I NOTICE RESULTS?

In most cases you will see some positive results within the first 1-3 sessions. Certain conditions take longer than that, but the majority of our clients feel a distinct difference within a few sessions.  

WHAT ARE YOUR HOURS?

We are open for appointments between 7:20am and 5pm PT, Monday through Friday.
