Do you take insurance?

No, this is an out-of-network practice, so as to better serve my patients, without limitations, and provide strictly one-on-one care. I do not directly bill your insurance company. Payment is due at time of service. I can provide a detailed invoice, upon request, for you to submit to your insurance company. Reimbursement is subject to your insurance plan. I recommend calling your insurance company to verify out-of-network physical therapy coverage, if reimbursement is desired.

My baby is nursing without issues, but I feel like something isn’t right… What should I do?

This was what happened to me, as well. Other than discomfort (cracked, bleeding nipples), which I thought must be normal, my baby was gaining weight and appeared to be doing just fine while nursing. It wasn’t until he was 2 months old that he began getting very frustrated during feeding. Trust your instincts. Seek preventative help if you feel like you should, BEFORE there is a true issue!

Why do you come to my home to provide therapy?

First off, it’s more convenient for you. Let’s face it, taking a newborn places isn’t always the easiest task, especially if you have other littles. Secondly, I like to assess your home environment and make ergonomic recommendations, and tips where you live and with the toys/equipment you have, because it’s functional, and it’s real-life.

How many sessions will my baby need?

Every baby is different, and every family's needs are different. Treatment length depends on the age of your baby and severity of condition. We will determine the best plan for you, and your family. The sooner treatment is sought, the faster and better the outcome!

Will my baby be comfortable during the session?

Of course! I will always do my best to listen to the cues I receive from your baby. The baby is in-charge of their appointment, which means, I will do everything in my power to keep them comfortable, and as relaxed as possible.

Does my child need a diagnosis or referral to see you?

NO! Oklahoma is a direct-access state for physical therapy, which means that you do not need a referral to receive PT services.

How long are appointments?

Initial evaluations typically last around an hour and follow-up visits anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. Babies are all different and unpredictable, so appointment times are approximate. Your baby will let us know when they are done with therapy.

Why does my baby need physical therapy?

After a release, the anatomy of the tongue has changed. It is important to re-train this muscle to perform correctly, and effectively. Don’t expect baby to be able to latch, and breastfeed without issues after a frenotomy alone. It’s best to do “pre-hab” prior to medical intervention for best results. Working with a team to include PT, lactation consultant (IBCLC), and pediatric dentist yields the best, long-lasting results for your child. There is a strong association between restricted oral tissues and torticollis and whole body tension, core weakness, and other developmental delays that require the support from a skilled physical therapist that specializes in treating infants.
