Question 1

What happens in a first assessment?

Accepted Answer

Your first visit is 75 minutes. We spend the first portion in conversation, history, occupation, sleep, prior injuries, and what a great outcome looks like for you. Then we complete a postural analysis and a movement screen so we have an objective baseline. Only after that do we begin hands-on therapeutic work. You leave with a written summary and a clear plan.

Question 2

How is your approach different from a relaxation-focused massage?

Accepted Answer

Vita Mobilis is assessment-first and therapeutic. Each session is planned around your goals, symptoms, and movement findings. The environment is calm, but the care remains focused on function, comfort, and progress.

Question 3

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

Vita Mobilis operates on a private-pay model so we can dedicate the time each session requires. We provide detailed superbills for out-of-network reimbursement, HSA, and FSA claims where applicable.

Question 4

How often should I come in?

Accepted Answer

Frequency depends on your goals, symptom pattern, response to treatment, and ability to continue the plan independently. We reassess regularly and aim for the least frequent schedule that still supports meaningful progress.

Question 5

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Comfortable clothing you can move in, leggings or shorts and a t-shirt work well for the assessment. Treatment is conducted with professional draping; you will only be uncovered in the region being actively treated.

Question 6

Do you treat athletes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A significant portion of the practice works with runners, climbers, cyclists, tennis players, and strength athletes, focusing on recovery, movement assessment, and managing the cumulative load of training. We coordinate with coaches and clinicians when helpful.

Question 7

How does massage fit into managing pain?

Accepted Answer

Massage can be a useful part of a broader care approach when it is paired with thorough assessment, appropriate movement, and referral when needed. Pain is rarely simple, so the plan should be built around the individual, not a generic protocol.

Question 8

What if I have a medical condition?

Accepted Answer

Please mention it during your intake. Vita Mobilis does not diagnose or replace medical care, and there are conditions where we will refer you to a physician or physical therapist first. In every case we coordinate care rather than override it.

Question 9

How long until I feel better?

Accepted Answer

Response varies. Some people notice changes early, while longer-standing symptoms may require more time. We use documented milestones and regular reassessment to decide whether the plan is helping.

Question 10

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

We ask for 24 hours' notice for cancellations or reschedules. Late cancellations within 24 hours are billed at 50%; no-shows are billed at 100%. This protects the time reserved for you and other clients.
