I have my first session Monday. There is no way I can afford two sessions a week. Do you have insurance covering this? I’m hoping to get results w one a week. Even this is a stretch for me on a teacher salary.

Good afternoon @annelise, Congratulations…..I hope your session is productive for you. As I recall, the first few sessions when the therapist was uncovering the fascia restrictions can be discomforting. The reward is that you will feel like a new person the next morning when everything settles down.

Regarding the $$$$$. We thought my insurance would cover it because my therapist is also a licensed OT. Generally, insurance companies will be more inclined to support treatments that prepare folks to return to work. However, at 70, they were not so inclined.

Here’s how we worked it out. At the time I went to two therapists, the new one was not an Expert level. So, my therapist wrote off the training part and I paid the same amount twice a week as it would have been for just one. At the time, we had two homes. Mine was on a mountain top with no medical services except for firemen. The closest MD was 45 miles away down the mountain. So, it was time to sell the mountain home. I tucked away enough money to cover the cost of twice a week.

That was 5 years ago and she has not raised the price at all. She is quite amazing…..and extremely generous and caring.

May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering,
Chris
