Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Roswell, Alpharetta, and Johns Creek

Mission Move is the place for me because I have been on the Move my whole life!

I’ve always been into sports. During grade school, I played basketball, volleyball, and soccer, sometimes all in one day, which meant a lot of driving for my parents. (Thank you Mom and Dad) My mom predicted soccer would become my top sport since I was 3; she claims I was always dribbling past other kids while they picked dandelions. She might be exaggerating bc that’s what moms do, but she was right—I became a D2 soccer player, never missing a minute of any game.

Unfortunately, my intense focus on soccer and college life meant I neglected cross-training, leading to physical therapy during the off-season. But this was a big turning point for me as I discovered physical therapy as my calling.For the past five years, I’ve worked in various orthopedic clinics, including sports and Pilates-based ones, but pelvic floor therapy has become my passion.

As a new mom, I understand the challenges of postpartum recovery firsthand. The fourth trimester is a real thing.You have this beautiful baby that you love unconditionally and needs so much help to thrive, but at the same time, your body needs so much help! And as someone who is used to being athletic, working out to the max, etc., it was really hard for me to adjust to my new situation.

Fortunately, I have the knowledge and the training to keep exercising in a safe way and progress back to my usual workouts. But I quickly realized most people wouldn’t know what to do, and they would probably either stop everything altogether and go nuts or do too much and injure themselves further. My goal is to help moms navigate this difficult time after birth and empower them to get back to doing what they enjoy most!

Now, this is the part where I tell you what I enjoy doing in my free time. HA. Let’s see, changing diapers, tummy time, laundry, stroller walks, teaching Olive (our new baby girl) German (my husband Wadim is from Germany), and we do still make time to work out. Priorities!

Full Transparency

Have you ever visited a doctor, paid your copay, received a bill later…and then ANOTHER bill months later? It’s frustrating and confusing. Mission Move chooses a cash-based model for our practice. In a cash-based treatment model, your Mission Move therapist enters into an agreement with you to provide physical therapy services in a manner that both parties have decided upon to help you reach your treatment goals most efficiently (AKA: FULL TRANSPARENCY with no surprise bills 3 months in).

Pay at Time of Service

You will pay at the time of service. This model allows us to focus on providing direct, one-on-one care, while keeping administrative costs low. You may pay for services using actual cash, a check, a credit/debit card, or with your HSA. In some instances, you may also personally file for reimbursement from your insurance company to curb your out-of-pocket expense. Most insurance companies, with the exception of Medicare, Medicaid and some HMOs, will provide reimbursement for services received “out of network”. We can help you with this process. 

No limits to YOUR plan of care

We are not big on limitations – neither are you, which is why you’re here. In our 12 years of experience helping patients in North Fulton, we’ve seen third-party payers pressure for immediate diagnoses, insist on confining treatments, and interfere with the physical therapy we want to provide, which often hurts the patient’s progress and hinders our ability to reach his or her goals. Regardless of what sport or type of fitness you enjoy, we want to partner with you and give you the right treatment to get you back on the game, not the kind of treatment your insurance provider THINKS you need.

Save Time and Money

Furthermore, (…can we get a drum roll, please?), out-of-pocket expenses over the course of physical therapy will often be less expensive for patients like you with a cash-based model than through traditional physical therapy practice. Here’s how:

The typical PT model will often have you coming 2-3x a week, whether you need it or not.  They typically need to utilize as many visits as your insurance allows to make their business work. In our model, we typically see the patient 1x a week and give them an extensive home program so he or she can begin working on this at home. We also see our patients an average of 6-10 times during a plan of care, and quickly go from rehabilitation to working on performance and prevention.

Cash-based does not mean our team is short on the education, qualifications and accreditations necessary to provide you with best-in-class medical care. In fact, we blend unique backgrounds in strength, conditioning, and human performance to go well beyond rehab and help you live your happiest, healthiest life. If you’re a runner, we not only want to help you get rid of your pain from a stubborn knee tendonitis, but also fully return you to running better and faster than you did before your injury. We are the physical therapists who want you to be as active as possible whether it be running, cycling, swimming, weight lifting, golf, or tennis. Whatever your goal, our expert level of performance physical therapy can help get you there!
