How does it work?

1. Evaluation

Our first session together is a 60 minute evaluation where we talk about your medical history, problem points and goals. This takes place either in person or virtually and you’ll leave with some activity and exercise recommendations to start on.

 

2. Treatment

In follow up sessions, you’ll begin a tailor-made exercise program. Many people benefit from some manual work like trigger point release, joint mobilizations, or massage, which you may also receive during in-person sessions.

 
 

3. Exercise Progression

On the days we don’t work together, you’ll be working on progressing your exercises at home (which you’ll have pictures and videos of sent to your email!) You’ll have unlimited email access or may schedule a short phone call with me for questions.

 
 
 

4. Achieving your goals

As you get stronger and more mobile, we’ll practice getting you back to your specific activity goals. Whether it’s getting back to running a marathon or carrying the kids after a shoulder surgery, you’ll have guidance on returning to sport and activity in a safe and sustainable way.

FAQs

  • During the pandemic many physiotherapy providers have switched to a telehealth practice for the safety of their patients. Research has shown that the quality of care can be just as high as in-person services. However, some patients (such as those post-surgery) may benefit from hands-on treatment, so please feel free to ask if virtual follow up is right for you.

  • This varies based on your case. Typically people are seen by a physiotherapist 1-2 times a week for anywhere between 4-8 weeks, but some people only need a few sessions. We will work together during our initial evaluation to create a plan and frequency that aligns with you.

  • Ideally, you would wear loose and comfortable clothing you can move freely in, as well as sneakers. No flip flops or heels please!

  • While this service is outside Japanese health insurance, it may potentially be reimbursed by international insurance.
