Sliding Scale Guidelines

PLEASE READ THIS: I believe quality PT care should be accessible to everyone who needs it, regardless of financial circumstances. To make this possible, I rely on those with greater financial resources to pay the full rate, which allows me to offer reduced rates to those experiencing financial hardship. This sliding scale is based on trust and operates on an honor system.

What this covers:

  • The sliding scale applies to your active plan of care, visits happening weekly to every other week, working toward specific goals for your current condition.

  • Once care shifts to spaced-out visits or a maintenance format (including periodic dry-needling/treatment tune-ups), those visits are billed at full rate. This isn't about making things harder on you. Spaced-out visits are a different kind of care, and that changes the cost of providing it. Drawing this line keeps the sliding scale available for the next person who needs it.

  • We’ll check in around 90 days into any plan of care to talk through where things stand.

  • This applies to self-pay visits. If you’re using insurance, your visits follow your plan’s benefits instead.

  • This applies to PT only, and does not apply to training or wellness programming.

A few things to know:

  • There’s no judgment in choosing any tier. Financial circumstances vary, and they can change.

  • Your selected rate is confidential.

  • Payment plans are available.

Read through the tiers below and choose the one that honestly describes where you’re at right now.

Tier 1 — Full Rate: $195/session · $245/evaluation

This is you if most of the following are true:

  • You comfortably meet your basic needs — housing, food, transportation, health care

  • Any debt you carry doesn’t get in the way of meeting those needs

  • You own your home or property, or rent a higher-end property

  • You own or lease a car without financial strain

  • You’re employed, or don’t need to work to meet your needs

  • You have savings and some room for discretionary spending

  • You can take a vacation or time off without it being a financial hit

  • You’re choosing to pay it forward — your payment at this rate is what makes reduced-cost care possible for someone else

Tier 2: $150/session · $190/evaluation

This is you if most of the following are true:

  • You generally meet your basic needs, though it sometimes comes with real stress

  • Any debt you carry doesn’t stop you from meeting basic needs

  • You own or lease a car

  • You’re employed and have access to health care

  • You have some savings and some expendable income

  • You can usually take a vacation every year or two without financial strain

Tier 3: $115/session · $145/evaluation

This is you if most of the following are true:

  • You frequently feel the stress of meeting basic needs, and don’t always manage it

  • Debt sometimes gets in the way of meeting basic needs

  • You rent a lower-end property, or your housing situation is unstable

  • You have a car but can’t always afford to keep gas in it, or your access is limited

  • You have little to no savings or expendable income

  • A vacation or real time off isn’t something you can swing without financial strain

Tier 4: $85/session · $105/evaluation

This is you if most of the following are true:

  • Meeting basic needs is a regular struggle, and you don’t always get there

  • You don’t have reliable access to a car

  • You’re unemployed or underemployed

  • You qualify for public assistance, such as food stamps or Medicaid

  • You have no access to savings and no expendable income

  • Time off or a vacation isn’t realistic without real financial burden
