What to Expect

Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation that assesses both your physical therapy needs and weight loss goals. We conduct movement screens, postural assessments, and discuss your medical history to understand any limitations. During your initial consultation, we'll perform body composition analysis and metabolic testing if appropriate. Together, we'll develop a personalized plan that combines targeted physical therapy exercises with a structured weight loss program. Regular progress monitoring includes physical assessments, weight tracking, and adjustment of your exercise routine as your strength and mobility improve. We schedule follow-up appointments every 2-4 weeks initially, then monthly as you progress toward your goals.

Insurance & Pricing

We accept most major insurance plans for physical therapy services, and many plans provide coverage for medically necessary weight management programs. Our weight loss services range from $150-300 per month depending on the level of support and monitoring required. We offer package deals that combine physical therapy and weight loss services at discounted rates. Payment plans are available for patients paying out-of-pocket. We'll verify your insurance benefits and provide clear pricing information during your initial consultation, so there are no surprises.

First-Time Patient Tips

Come to your first appointment wearing comfortable clothing you can move in, and bring a list of all current medications and supplements. We recommend bringing any recent lab work or imaging studies related to your weight or physical condition. Arrive 15 minutes early to complete paperwork. It's helpful to keep a brief food diary for 3-5 days before your visit so we can better understand your current eating patterns. Don't start any new diet or exercise program before your consultation - we want to assess your current status accurately. Bring comfortable walking shoes and any assistive devices you normally use. Be prepared to discuss your weight loss history, including what has and hasn't worked for you in the past.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do your weight loss program if I have chronic pain?

Yes, that's actually our specialty. We design safe exercise programs that work around your pain conditions and physical limitations. Our physical therapists can address pain issues while you work on weight loss goals.

Will insurance cover my weight loss program?

Insurance typically covers physical therapy services, and some plans include coverage for medically supervised weight loss. We'll verify your specific benefits during your consultation and provide clear pricing information.

How is this different from a regular weight loss clinic?

We combine weight management with physical therapy expertise, meaning we can address movement problems, pain, and physical limitations that often sabotage weight loss efforts. It's comprehensive care in one location.

Do I need a doctor's referral?

Washington allows direct access to physical therapy, so no referral is needed for PT services. For our weight loss programs, we can work with or without physician involvement depending on your needs.

What if I can't do traditional exercise because of my condition?

That's exactly why we exist. We specialize in creating modified exercise programs for people with arthritis, back problems, injuries, or other conditions that limit traditional fitness activities.

How quickly will I see results?

Most patients see improvements in movement and function within 2-4 weeks. Weight loss typically becomes noticeable after 4-6 weeks, but sustainable results take 3-6 months to establish.

Do you provide meal plans or just exercise?

We offer both nutritional counseling and exercise programs. Our approach includes education about healthy eating patterns, but we focus more on sustainable lifestyle changes than restrictive meal plans.

Can family members join the program together?

While each person needs individual assessment, we can coordinate family programs and offer group sessions. This often improves success rates when household members support each other's goals.
