​
Integrated Positional Therapy (IPT) is a gentle, highly effective treatment for neuromuscular pain. Rather than masking symptoms, IPT addresses the root cause of pain—muscular and postural imbalances—by helping the body return to proper alignment.
IPT is based on osteopathic techniques, including Muscle Energy Technique and Strain/Counterstrain. These methods correct imbalances and restore structural alignment in a way that is both gentle and often quickly effective.
​
What to Expect
Your initial session includes a comprehensive evaluation of your pain, posture, muscular balance, and daily movement habits, followed by hands-on treatment and a personalized plan. Follow-up sessions focus primarily on treatment, with brief reassessment as needed. Many clients experience immediate relief, with longer-lasting results supported by simple home exercises.

IPT is reimbursable as a Physical Therapy treatment. This clinic is out of network with most commercial insurances, and you can file a claim for reimbursement with your insurance.

Insurance
This is a "cash-based" practice, meaning that Yoga & PT is not affiliated with any insurance carriers and cannot file insurance. If you receive Physical Therapy (including IPT) evaluation and/or treatment, a "superbill" can be provided to you after payment for services to file with your insurance for out of network reimbursement.
​
The choice of not filing insurance is a deliberate one. This allows Laura to work with you on what you need and towards your personal goals as opposed to what the insurance company dictates. You will not be in a large gym with other patients. Laura's attention will not be divided between you and another client. You will not be discharged based on number of "allowed" visits or "lack of progress." You will be afforded Laura's undivided attention for an hour so that she can assess you as a whole instead of just one body part at a time, as some insurance companies require.
​
Because of her ability to focus on the client's needs and tailor home exercise and self care programs, visit frequency for PT is typically once every 2-4 weeks as opposed to twice a week at most insurance-covered PT clinics. Fewer visits spread farther apart often makes the overall cost of treatment less than traditional insurance covered PT.
