Frequently Asked Questions

Get all your answers about MVMT right here

 
Do I need a prescription from my doctor to come see you?
No prescription is needed to be seen. In California, we have what is called direct access, meaning that you can see a Physical Therapist without a prescription for the first 45 days or 12 visits, whichever comes first.
What makes MVMT different from traditional physical therapy?

We provide individualized one-on-one care designed to help active adults and athletes in North County San Diego recover from injury, reduce pain, and continue performing at a high level. Care is tailored to the individual and blends rehabilitation, strength and conditioning principles, and a modern movement-based approach based on your goals, lifestyle, and activity demands.

How long does a session typically last?
Evaluations and follow-ups are one-on-one for an hour, in which you will get the full attention of your performance physical therapist for the entirety of the session.
What do I wear?
We are a movement based facility. We request that you wear clothes that you feel comfortable moving in.
How many sessions will I need?
Every case will differ based on your unique aspects. These include:
  • Severity of symptoms/injury
  • How long you have been experiencing your pain/injury
  • Stress
  • Emotional/mental wellbeing
  • Nutrition
  • Immune health
  • Other factors
Following your assessment, your physical therapist will recommend a plan of care based on your needs.
How often will I have to come in?
We typically see our clients 1x/week in the beginning to help manage pain/symptoms and build a strong base. After a few weeks, once the pain subsides, we reduce the frequency to every other week, and eventually every few weeks. This ensures that we get your feeling and moving better than you were before, as well as help you to feel confident in being able to return to your activities.
What if I want to keep seeing you after my plan of care ends?
We offer a continuity program where you will have access to your provider and ability to schedule a session on a monthly or bi-monthly plan.
What insurances do you accept?
We are an out-of-network provider, which means we do not accept health insurance directly. However, we provide a superbill for clients with out-of-network benefits. We also accept HSA/FSA payments.
What does it mean to be an out-of-network provider?
We do not contract with health insurance companies and, therefore, do not directly bill your insurance for services. Our clients pay us directly for their one-on-one, personalized physical therapy sessions. This approach allows us to focus entirely on you during your session, utilizing treatments and methods tailored to your goals, without the constraints of insurance rules and regulations.
What is a superbill?
A superbill is a medical receipt that we will provide you with at the end of your session. If you have out-of-network benefits, you may submit this to your insurance for reimbursement based on your health insurance plan.
Do you offer any discounts?

Yes, clients who commit to a structured program receive reduced per-session rates compared to individual sessions. We also offer preferred rates for clients participating in our continuity program. In addition, we provide preferred pricing to military personnel, veterans, and first responders.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, we offer flexible payment plans and scheduling options for clients who purchase session packages. Please contact us to discuss a plan that works best for you.

What is your cancellation policy?
We require 24 hour notice for cancellations or rescheduling. If you cancel or reschedule within 24 hours, you will be charged for the session.
