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 this different from a spa massage?

Accepted Answer

Everything at Vita Mobilis is therapeutic and outcome-driven. There are no scented menus, no upsells, no relaxation packages. Every technique — myofascial, deep tissue, neuromuscular, trigger point — is selected to move you toward the outcome established in your assessment. The environment is calm and beautiful because that helps you recover, not because it's the product.

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 is set by your assessment findings and your goals. Most clients begin weekly or every other week during the resolution phase, then transition to monthly or six-week maintenance once the underlying pattern is stable.

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 is dedicated to recovery, performance, and injury resolution for runners, climbers, cyclists, tennis players, and strength athletes. We coordinate with coaches and clinicians when helpful.

Question 7

Can massage really address the root cause of pain?

Accepted Answer

When paired with a proper assessment, absolutely. Most persistent pain is a downstream signal of an upstream mobility, stability, or postural issue. Treating that pattern — not just the painful tissue — is what produces durable outcomes.

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

Most clients report meaningful change within the first three to six sessions. Long-standing patterns take longer. Your plan will always include realistic milestones so you can measure progress objectively.

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.
