Is ART ( active release therapy)
Sounds similar to MFR
My doctor recommended ART to me for sciatica and SI joint dysfunction pain and it helped tremendously, unfortunately insurance companies will not pay. They consider this experimental, even though it’s been around since the 50s. I’m so tired of our medical world just wanting to treat conditions with pain painkillers, and those of us who want to do it holistically get screwed having to pay out-of-pocket when there’s a lot of proven benefits of these methods acupuncture acupressure ART Therapy MFR therapy and the list goes on. I wish that some doctors that offer these methods would charge less or work with those of us who want to do these treatments. Because they’re all very expensive.

@berard10 Physical therapists can code the session in a way that pleases the insurance company and just use something like a manual therapy code. You may want to discuss this with your PT. I understand the dilemma.
