  • You will schedule your series of visits with the front desk. The amount of therapy needed will be discussed with you, depending on the recommendations of your therapist. We offer many convenient appointment times, however prime times can become busy, so it is best to book ahead as much as possible.
  • Your therapist will write up their findings and treatment plan to submit to your referring physician or other medical professional who you choose.
  • If you have any questions at anytime, please don’t hesitate to call.
