Q: What is a Movement Reprogramming Specialist?
A: I utilize clinical observation to reprogram the brain-to-muscle connection. This allows us to build strength on a foundation of stability, ensuring your movement is as efficient as it is powerful.
Q: What is the first step?
A: The first step is a Complimentary Consultation (up to 30 minutes). This is a phone or video call where we discuss your movement history and goals to ensure we are a great fit. From there, we typical schedule your Clinical Movement Audit to build your professional roadmap. Request your Complimentary Consultation
Q: What happens during the Clinical Movement Audit?
A: The Audit is a one-time, 50-minute in-person or virtual deep dive into your biomechanics. I identify the ‘why’ behind your tension or limitations. You’ll gain immediate corrective insight, and together we will establish the professional roadmap I’ll use to guide your movement journey.
Q: How is this different from Physical Therapy or Occupational Therapy?
A: While my approach is rooted in nearly two decades of clinical experience as an Occupational Therapist, Built for Life is a fitness and wellness service. We focus on long-term performance, functional strength, and optimizing movement patterns for life, rather than acute rehabilitative care.
Q: How effective is virtual training compared to in-person?
A: Virtual training through The Precision Remote is a comprehensive clinical partnership. It’s more than a video call; it’s real-time biomechanical analysis and cueing. I provide a structured roadmap and training plan designed for your specific environment, ensuring you have the independence and mastery to make consistent, safe progress between our sessions.
Q: Do I need to be “in shape” to start?
A: Absolutely not. I meet you exactly where you are. Whether you are returning from a long hiatus or are an elite athlete, our focus is on the quality of your movement first.
Q: Do I need a home gym for in-home sessions?
A: Not at all. I bring the necessary tools to you. Whether we are working in a living room or a dedicated gym space, we focus on how your body moves in your actual environment.
Q: Do you work with clients who have specific fitness goals outside of movement reprogramming?
A: Yes, I absolutely work with clients on their specific fitness and lifestyle goals. While Movement Reprogramming is the foundation of my approach, it is the “engine” that helps you reach your ultimate objectives. I meet you exactly where you are today—whether you are managing an old injury or are already an elite athlete—and we build a strategic path together to get you where you want to be.
I help my clients bridge the gap between their current physical state and their ultimate ambitions. My current clients have a wide range of goals, including:
- Sports Agility: Developing explosive speed and precision to give young athletes a mechanical advantage.
- Foundation Building: Establishing safe mechanics and sustainable habits for those starting from scratch or returning after a long hiatus.
- Active Aging & Longevity: Building a resilient foundation for a heavy recreational calendar (e.g., maintaining mountain hiking and skiing into your 70s and 80s).
- High-Elevation Performance: Meticulous re-injury prevention and mechanical advantages for the ultra-runner or mountain athlete.
- Postpartum Recovery: Specialized core and pelvic floor integration for reclaiming quality of life and physical stamina.
Q: Do you accept insurance or HSA/FSA cards?
A: Built for Life is a private-pay wellness service. Built for Life does not bill insurance companies directly, nor do I process HSA/FSA cards. Payment is due in full at the time of booking. While some of my clients successfully use health funds for these services, reimbursement is not guaranteed and is at the sole discretion of your provider.
Q: How can I seek reimbursement for my sessions?
A: Upon request, Built for Life can provide a standard itemized receipt that includes my Tax ID and a description of services.
Please note that Built for Life does not provide clinical documentation, medical coding (ICD-10/CPT), nor letters of medical necessity. If you plan to seek reimbursement, I recommend the following steps:
- Consult your Doctor: Ask your physician if they can provide a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN). This is often required by HSA/FSA administrators to qualify movement reprogramming as a covered health expense.
- Check for Wellness Perks: Many insurance plans offer an annual “Wellness Reimbursement” for specialized training or health-related services.
