Can I submit my running analysis visits to my insurance?
From an insurance standpoint, running analysis visits are treated the same way as other physical therapy visits at Thrive Physio. We are an out of network provider which means payment is collected at the time this program is purchased. Upon request, we can prepare a superbill for you after each visit to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. This reimbursement or application toward your deductible is completely dependent on your individual insurance plan.

Treatment tools used:
Dry needling
Insertion of a solid filament needle into dysfunctional muscles to release them, reset them to decrease tightness and improve coordination- Want more information? Read Elizabeth’s blog “What is Dry Needling?”
Redcord suspension training
A system of bungees and cords used to help identify neuromuscular imbalances and improve muscle coordination and balance
Soft tissue mobilization
Manually working on muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia to reset the nervous system and decrease pain
Joint mobilization and manipulation
Address joint restriction with hands-on techniques to improve mobility, reset nervous system and decrease pain
Cupping
Glass cups are applied to the skin to lift skin and fascia away from underlying muscle tissue, improving blood and lymphatic flow for expedited healing and pain relief
Kinesiotaping
Application of light, stretchy tape to body regions to improve proprioception in the area, provide support and decrease swelling or bruising
Blood Flow Restriction training
Brief, intermittent occlusion of venous blood flow using a tourniquet while exercising. The patient can get the strength benefits of a higher load but actually using a lower load to avoid tissue strain- Want more information? Read Elizabeth’s blog “Why Blood Flow Restriction training?”
Neuromuscular Re-education
Retraining muscle activation and movement patterns to help decrease overworking of muscles while improving the firing of underactive muscles to reset the balance and coordination of the body
Therapeutic exercise prescription
Individualized exercises to help maintain the gains achieved in a session- aimed at improving mobility, stability, muscle coordination, strength, endurance, power, balance, functional strength
Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA)
A specific, systematic way of analyzing movement to see limitations and identify which body segment is contributing to these limitations
Ergonomic Assessment
Assessment of client at their work to determine contribution of desk or workstation to client’s symptoms
Postural Assessment
Assessment of client’s static and dynamic posture to determine contribution of posture habits to client’s symptoms
Client education
Unpacking habits, work set up and ergonomics, current activities and exercise, sleep patterns, etc to determine their contribution to client’s complaint and provide education on modifications to improve response to treatment and/or prevent recurrence
