Frequently Asked Questions
Why Choose BREATHE Pelvic Therapy and Fitness?
Opting for BREATHE Pelvic Therapy means receiving holistic care that treats your body as a whole, rather than just a diagnosis code. Unlike insurance-based physical therapy, which often limits visits and treatments, our approach includes comprehensive wellness and preventative care. While insurance co-pays can quickly add up to $25-$50 per visit, our personalized treatment plans typically meet goals in fewer sessions, saving you money in the long run. We prioritize your best interests, addressing dysfunction and pain effectively and efficiently.
Does your practice take insurance?
