Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from athletes and active adults looking for physical therapy in Manahawkin, NJ.
Local Motion is a cash-based practice and does not accept insurance. We accept HSA and FSA cards and can provide a superbill you may submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many patients find that the 1:1 model and direct access more than offset the cost difference.
Every new patient starts with a phone consult or discovery call so we can understand your situation and goals before you come in. Your first visit includes a comprehensive movement and strength assessment, and you leave with a clear plan — not a generic protocol.
Sports physical therapy sessions are 60 minutes, 1:1 with your provider. You are not passed off to an aide or sharing time with other patients. Every session is focused on your plan and your progress.
Return-to-sport programming is a core part of what we do. Many people who come to us are stuck between injury and getting back to training. We build a structured progression — hands-on care, gym-based rehab, and sport-specific loading — so you can return with confidence, not guesswork.
We do not offer telehealth. All sessions are in-person at our Manahawkin location. This allows us to deliver hands-on care and properly assess how you move — which matters for the kind of results we are trying to get you.
