Frequently Asked Questions

FORMATION is located inside of Body Arc at 131 Richmond Hwy in the Manchester neighborhood. It is a large gray building that used to be an auto repair shop, at the corner of Richmond Hwy and Stockton St. There is a Body Arc sign above the door and both our business names are on the front door. Map here.
When you come in head towards the back hallway and FORMATION is in the room on the left. Can’t miss it! If I’m working with someone at the time you arrive feel free to have a seat at the table near the front door and I’ll be with you as soon as I’m finished.

Before your first visit you will receive an Evaluation Acceleration Form which will include information regarding current and previous injuries and health history. This allows us to get to work quicker on your first visit.

Please don’t. It’s hard to assess movement and expose joints in jeans. Please wear clothing you can work out in. At FORMATION we prefer:
Shorts, yoga pants, or stretchy pants.
Light, stretchy t-shirt, tank top, sports bra.
Shoes to work out in.
-
No! Virginia is a “direct access” state which means you do not need a prescription for physical therapy. This allows you to receive treatment faster and cut out extra steps, such as waiting for an appointment with your physician. Reach out to start getting help today.
-
At Formation you will always know how much you will pay (no surprise bills months later), and payment is taken at the time of service.

While most of our clients have health insurance, FORMATION is an out-of-network provider. You are in control of your care, free from the boundaries imposed by insurance. This allows us to provide one-on-one, hour long visits with you and you alone. We have learned that insurance-driven physical therapy results in having less time with your physical therapist, decreased service options, and denials of treatment. We choose to be better. We will work together to create a plan of care that meets your needs without third party limitations.
At this time we are unable to provide physical therapy to clients with Medicare, and Medicaid does not reimburse for services.
-
Most clients are reimbursed for part of their visit by their insurance if they have met their deductible. Ask your insurance company what your out-of-network benefits are for physical therapy (we can’t guarantee reimbursement). FORMATION will provide you with a bill with all the information you would need to submit.
-
Yes! We accept FSA, HSA, credit card, cash, or check.
-
While everyone’s needs are different and the frequency and number of visits will vary, with more personalized care, our clients tend to meet their goals with 1 visit per week, opposed to 2-3 visits per week at an in-network PT clinic. Typically, total number of visits are 6-15.
