Yes, the advantage to MNWPT is that every session will be with Dr. Irina. There is a consistency in care without the worry of having to repeat yourself or start over while obtaining treatment. You can also have a caregiver present to assist and supervise.

Cash pay takes the guesswork out of insurance and productivity pressure. Many individuals end up paying an insurance copay ranging from $180-350 per visit for 30-45 minutes along with being treated along with others and by different clinicians. At MNWPT, all visits are at least 60 minutes with a set price, so no surprises. Also, insurance dictates how many visits you can get, through this model, there are no strict guidelines so the focus is completely on you.

Make sure you are familiar with the designated software PowerDiary to log on for appointments, practice with your computer camera for angles so Dr. Irina can see you entirely both in siting and standing. Make sure all your paperwork is signed and sent to Dr. Irina prior to the first visit.

Dr. Irina will send you a checklist prior. 

Wear comfortable workout clothing (nothing baggy) and proper athletic shoes. Make sure to have water close by.

There will be paperwork that needs to be filled out and submitted prior to the evaluation so Dr. Irina can gain a better understanding of who you are and your needs. She will ask questions about your health and goal setting, complete testing and discuss future expectations. Prior to the evaluation, you can schedule a 10-15 minute phone call with Dr. Irina to get a better idea of what she services she offer and see if it’s a good fit. The evaluation or consultation can either be 60 or 90 minutes depending on preference and needs.

Depending on your functional levels, scheduling and goals, these sessions can take place on a weekly or monthly basis. Dr. Irina will discuss with you the ideal schedule to meet your goals. The follow up visits range from 30 to 90 minutes. During the follow up sessions, your exercises will be reviewed or progressed, discuss fall prevention, home set up and other holistic components. Handouts or videos will be provided as needed.

Neuro wellness consultations address more general fitness and exercise principles if you have a neurological condition. You will be asked in depth questions about your health history, exercise level and fitness goals with some testing. Although some things will look similar to physical therapy, pain or your diagnosis will not be directly treated. This is for individuals who are active looking for a maintenance program. The goals are more recreational based and aren’t specifically tied to functional goals that you would see more in traditional physical therapy settings. Depending on your functional level or health history, Dr. Irina may advise physical therapy prior to participating in neuro wellness programs.

Neuro wellness follow ups consist of reviewing and advancing exercises and discussing fitness goals and principles along with holistic strategies to maximize your gains.

These take place periodically to see the progress you are making towards your goals that involve retesting of outcome measures that took place during the evaluation and possibly newer ones.

This is for individuals looking for strategies to create their own home gym relating to their goals. This package will help save costs by determining the ideal gym equipment that aligns with your functional needs and goals that won’t collect dust in your garage two years from now. Via telehealth or in person, Dr. Irina will discuss ways to create your optimal gym. She will provide tips on spacing, proper and sustainable equipment and what will help you get in the best physical shape. Although gym and exercise equipment is addressed with the other services, this dives into more specific details to design your own customized space. It is recommended to go through the consultation and at least 2 follow up sessions to best address your needs and make proper modifications. There are no bundles for this package.

For the 6-visit bundle, there is a 4-month expiration. For the 8-visit bundle, there is a 6-month expiration. For the 12-month bundle, there is an 8-month expiration. These are non-refundable.

You have the option for Dr. Irina to notify your physician if you are obtaining physical therapy services. It’s encouraged to do so in order to provide more comprehensive care and communication among your providers. Dr. Irina will ask for a sign off from your physician to partake in physical therapy services, for California, a sign off is required within a certain timeframe and Nevada doesn’t require anything.
