What do I wear?
If we are treating your Low back or any condition affecting your lower extremity, gym shorts are ideal.
For neck, shoulder and thoracic spine problems women should wear a bra. (For IMS a regular bra is better than a sports bra)
If you have orthotics, wear those shoes in.
We do have gowns and some shorts.

Will my extended health care plan pay for my treatment?
Because each plan is different you need to see what your individual plan will cover. We do not direct-bill your insurance company. You pay us and then submit your receipts to your own plan.
How many treatments will I need?
Due to a number of factors this is a difficult question to answer. You can discuss it with your therapist after the assessment has been done.
