Patient Information

FAQ's

I'm not sure if FMT is right for my condition, do you offer any sort of consultation?

Yes. We offer free 15-30 minute Physical Therapy consultations to anyone who is interested to know more about the Functional Manual Therapy approach, or if you are wondering if Physical Therapy may be beneficial for you. Restrictions apply based on therapist availability and patient need, and are not meant to replace a full FMT assessment.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

1) Loose fitting comfortable clothes that allow for exposure of the area to be treated.

2) Any x-rays, MRI, CT reports and physical therapy prescription (if you have one).

What should I expect from treatment?

All treatments are 1-on-1, and 60 minutes long. This allows us to listen to all your needs and take the necessary time to address each of your specific problems.

Your initial appointment will have a comprehensive, full-body analysis where we diagnose and treat the issues that you’re experiencing. Many patients are not aware of their symptoms until we treat it.

During your follow-up appointments, we reassess to check in on the successes of our treatment, and to catch any new issues. Generally, we spend more time treating than assessing during these sessions.

Our treatment style is called Functional Manual Therapy. It’s a highly specialized whole-body approach wherein we manually adjust and re-educate your body. The process is hands-on and healing, and we are with you every step of the way.

Many patients experience a dramatic improvement after 1 session - but each patient’s circumstances are unique, and treatment for you may take a few sessions or more. Your PT will set a plan and timeline with you after your 1st appointment.

Do I need a Doctor's prescription for Physical Therapy?

No. According to New York State Law, you can be seen by a licensed physical therapist for 30 days or 10 visits before needing to consult with a doctor and obtain a prescription. Some insurances do require a Doctor's prescription initially, so if you are submitting to your insurance for out-of-network benefits, please contact them to check if this is required.

Do you take my insurance?

We are an out-of-network provider for insurances that offer out-of-network benefits. This means you will pay for each visit, and then submit to your insurance for reimbursement. You may contact your insurance to find out if they provide out-of-network services.

Each visit you will be given a superbill to submit to your insurance for reimbursement. We will gladly fill out any paperwork that your insurance requires be completed by the therapist. For more information on understanding out-of-network insurance benefits, click here.

How much does it cost?

Each 1 hour session is $300.

In cases of financial need, flexible rates are available.

For those with out-of-network insurance benefits, you will be given a superbill that can be submitted to your insurance for reimbursement for a percentage of the cost of your session.

How do you integrate Physical Therapy with Pilates and GYROTONIC services at Kinected?

Each patient is thoroughly assessed at the beginning of treatment to look at what structural, strength, and postural deficiencies you may have. Once this is assessed, we will set up a plan for you which may include starting with trainers right away, or gradually transitioning to working with Kinected's skilled staff as your injury progressively improves. During the transition, we will communicate regularly with your Pilates / GYROTONIC trainer to make sure we are working towards the same goals and sharing findings from each of our sessions so that the other's treatment can be more informed and effective.
