What to Expect at Therapy In Motion During Your Child’s First Appointment
Check-In
When you arrive at our pediatric physical therapy clinic, your first step is to check in at the front desk.
Our team will gather your insurance information and any medical documents you have, such as prior evaluations, reports, and other relevant paperwork.
Initial Evaluation
Your child’s first visit will include a comprehensive evaluation with one of our pediatric physical therapists. During this session, our therapist will collect important information about your child’s medical history and assess their current abilities.
It’s important to be open and thorough so that we can fully understand your child’s needs and challenges.
Physical Examination
Our pediatric physical therapist will carry out a complete assessment, observing your child’s range of motion, strength, and movement patterns.
This helps us develop a personalized therapy plan focused on improving functional mobility and addressing any physical challenges your child may experience.
Discussion
After the evaluation, the therapist will explain their findings and discuss the next steps. They will share insights on how we can work together to enhance your child’s mobility, strength, and overall function.
Treatment will begin during this session and will evolve through future visits to achieve the best possible outcomes.
Goal Setting
We will work together with you to set realistic goals for your child’s progress, focusing on long-term improvements in mobility and independence.
The frequency and duration of therapy sessions will be customized to meet these goals.
Documentation
Our team will document the findings and treatment plan, and we can share this information with other healthcare providers if needed.
Our goal is to support your child’s development and independence through tailored therapy.
Scheduling
At the end of your child’s first visit, we will schedule follow-up appointments as needed. You can make these arrangements at the front desk.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us. We are here to guide you through every step of the process.

Prioritizing Patient-Centered Care
Cash-Based Physical Therapy at Therapy In Motion
At Therapy In Motion, we’re dedicated to providing you with the highest quality of care, and we believe that the cash-based physical therapy model allows us to prioritize your needs above all else. In this model, you make direct payments for your physical therapy services instead of relying on insurance reimbursement.
We’ve chosen to implement this approach for several important reasons:
- Improved Patient-Therapist Relationship: Without insurance constraints, we can focus on your results. Your rehabilitation won’t be arbitrarily stopped, and the therapy process won’t be complicated by third-party approvals.
- Control Over Services: We can tailor your treatment based on your unique needs, not what an insurance company is willing to cover. This means more freedom for us to provide you with the best possible care.
- Simpler Billing: Removing insurance companies from the equation simplifies the billing process. We can spend more time helping you and less time dealing with paperwork, claims, and follow-ups.
- Price Transparency: In a cash-based model, you know the cost of your treatment upfront, leading to fewer financial surprises and better planning.
- Lower Overall Costs: Research shows that cash-based physical therapy often requires fewer visits than traditional insurance-based models. This results in lower overall costs for you.
We understand that some patients may prefer to use their insurance coverage, and we do provide that option. However, we believe that offering a cash-based model empowers you to make choices that align with your unique needs and goals.
We invite you to learn more about our payment options by calling 816-547-9654 today. Your health and well-being are our top priorities, and we’re here to support you on your journey to wellness.
