NO! In the states of NH and ME, you have direct access to physical therapy. During our time together, if I determine you do need to meet with a doctor and I will be glad to refer you. I am also very happy to coordinate your care with any providers on your care team.

We’ll start by chatting. I want to know as much as I can about you, what you are seeking care for and what you want to work towards. From there I will complete a thorough evaluation (range of motion, strength, neural mobility, joint mobility, etc). If we are addressing a pelvic health concern, we may do an internal pelvic floor evaluation, see next FAQ for more about what this is. We will discuss what I feel is driving your symptoms and what we can do about it together. Depending on timing, I aim to include a brief treatment and/or help get you started on some homework to get the ball rolling.

If you’re seeking care for pelvic floor troubles, you will likely benefit from having an internal evaluation and treatment. First I will talk with you about why I think it would be helpful for you in particular and what I plan to assess. Next, I will gain your full consent, if it’s not a full yes for you then it is a no. If it is a full yes for you then I will insert one gloved and lubed finger into the vaginal canal to assess the muscles of the pelvic floor. At ANY point in time during the evaluation you are free to ask me to pause or stop and I will do so immediately. I recognize that many women have had some form of trauma during their life and your comfort and safety is my utmost priority… and sometimes this means an internal evaluation is not appropriate and that is perfectly ok.

Please wear comfortable clothes that allow for movement and allow me to visualize the area that you are seeking care for.

The beauty of not contracting with insurance companies AND having direct access is that we can work on whatever you need! If you need to shift gears for a few sessions to address a different concern that has come up for you, we can do that. We would start again with an evaluation so that we can determine what your new needs are and get right to treatment!

Not to worry, I send out this consent form with the initial intake packet so that if you are interested in dry needling we can start right away. If you’re on the fence, we can talk more and I will answer any and all questions you have so that you can make the best decision for you. If you don’t want to do it, not a problem, I have many other tools in my toolbox that we can make use of!

I accept cash, credit card, FSA, HSA, or check due at time of service.

I am an out of network provider for private health insurance companies. Brittany Lee Wellness was created to give you, the client, and me, the therapist, freedom to determine together what the best treatment plan is for YOU without the restrictions and limitations that come along with insurance.

I will provide you with a superbill after our visits that you can submit to your health insurance company and they will reimburse you based on your plan’s out of network benefits.

Reiki is a Japanese form of energy work that works with the knowledge that we are all energetic beings. We have energy all around us and running through us, think of how you may have an instant reaction to someone you’ve never met or you just walk into a room and know that something is up, that’s energy. When it energy isn’t moving through us smoothly, it can manifest in physical, mental or emotional ways. Reiki clears the pathway and brings in healing energy to restore your system.

How exactly we mix it in during a PT session depends on the person and our goals. If someone comes in super stressed out from life, we might start with some Reiki to active the parasymptathetic nervous system and open up the flow of energy so that they are more receptive to healing. Other times we’ll use it at the end of the session as a way to integrate what we did during the session. And… energy flows with intention so sometimes we weave it in throughout the hands on portion of the session.
