FAQs

Do you accept insurance?

I do not accept insurance. Many of my clients seek reimbursement from their insurance company, Health Savings Account or Flex Spending Plan under "out of network Physical Therapy". I can provide a receipt with diagnosis and treatment codes if you wish to do so. Please be aware that I do not keep treatment notes.

How do I make an appointment?

My online schedule only accepts appointments 3 months in advance to maintain flexibility in my own life and to discourage over-scheduling. New appointments show up automatically as time moves forward so the longest you wait for the opportunity to make an appointment is now 3 months.

If you are attempting to schedule an office appointment within 3 months, you may see the message "there are no openings for this service" as I am usually booked out that far. Cancellations show up as the first available appointment and it's worth checking on a regular basis as they get rescheduled quite quickly. I do not keep a cancellation list as they appear often and can be rescheduled online almost immediately.

If you check my schedule for at least a week and do not find anything, you can email me to request one of my flexible sessions. I keep several openings free each week for emergencies (which includes babies) and I do not book them more than 2 weeks ahead. Within the week, there may be one or more of these appointments that can be requested by anyone. Please check for cancellations before requesting one, unless you have a genuine emergency.

Another option is to schedule a TeleHealth session. If you are waiting for your first office appointment or for my schedule to open up, a TeleHealth appointment can be an easy and efficient way to get started by introducing you to my work and giving you tools to work on yourself.

How do TeleHealth sessions work?

I use an energetic connection and clear communication to empower you to work within your own body. I can help you to locate and release restrictions on a physical, emotional and energetic level and advise you on how to deepen your connection with yourself. TeleHealth sessions draw from my nearly 30 years of experience doing hands on work with individuals of all ages and from the tools and concepts of my Whole Body Decision Making curriculum.

TeleHealth sessions are conducted via FaceTime. If you do not have access to FaceTime, please email me at katekennedypt13@gmail.com to discuss alternatives. It is best to set up your environment so that you can relax without having to hold your device.

How many appointments will I need?

I encourage clients to schedule whatever feels right to them and this evolves over time for each person. So how often you come in is entirely up to you. Most commonly, I see people for a follow up within a month but more treatment is not necessarily better. Everyone responds differently and each session is an individual experience as well as a part of your journey. An essential part of this work is helping you release restrictions that prevent you from living fully within your body, brain and energy field. And this helps you to listen more deeply to determine what you need.

Each session is complete within itself…and the treatment keeps working after the session as your body adjusts to and builds on the progress we make together. Treatments work with the root causes of problems and are very efficient because of the deep interconnection of all of the systems in the body. I describe and explain what is happening during each session so that you can continue to understand how your body works and what it needs.

What happens during a session?

Each session is 50 minutes long and the hands on part is usually about 40 minutes long. You can take as much time as you need to report what is going on for you and this can be done on or off the table. Typically, clients are fully clothed and lying on their back on a massage table but we have props to accommodate any position. For children, we have books and toys and they are not required to stay still. Parents are invited to be part of the treatment as much as they wish.

For all clients of any age, I describe what I am observing and explain what is happening during each session and questions are always welcome.
