Why Are We Unique?
MOOV successfully combines injury prevention, physical therapy, and strength/mobility training for you to maximize longevity and to perform at your best. The best part is, MOOV comes to YOU! At your convenience, you can access MOOV’s services in person or online. MOOV provides direct, one-on-one care and customized training, tailored to your individual needs.
We are a direct access, cash-based model, that neither requires a Doctor’s referral nor is limited by your insurance company. MOOV was first created to fix the broken healthcare system. Insurance companies are steadily increasing the cost of their plans, deductibles, and co-payments. After paying for all of these up front, you also receive a bill stating you’re still responsible for paying a certain percentage of the remaining amount billed. Insurance companies are also decreasing their reimbursement rates. This means your DPT’s/Doctors/other medical professionals have to see more patients per day in order to take home the same pay-check. This is the perfect recipe for cutting corners and burn-out.
How long do you see your Doctor for? Do you even see the Doctor or just their Physician’s Assistant? Do you feel rushed and leave with unanswered questions? At MOOV, you can skip this process and the extra costs associated with it.
How long do you see your Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) for? Is your entire appointment one-on-one with the DPT? After about 10 minutes with the DPT, are you sent off to finish your treatment with their Assistant or Aide? If so, how many other people are they monitoring at the same time as you? Regardless of how long your physical therapy appointment lasts, you still pay the same co-payment each time you walk through the door. Considering all of this, do you think you’re receiving the highest quality of care?
Here at MOOV:
