FAQ
Here are some answers to Frequently Asked Questions.
What does an evaluation look like?
Every 45-minute evaluation includes a detailed orthopedic assessment and a full-body movement screen to identify the root cause of your pain—not just the symptoms.
You’ll also receive hands-on treatment during your first visit to ensure we can create meaningful change and confirm that AMB is the right fit for you.
By the end of the session, you’ll leave with a clear, personalized plan outlining recommended visit frequency, targeted exercises with video guidance, and direct access to your therapist for ongoing support between sessions.
How is AMB different?
At Advanced Movement + Balance in Phoenixville, PA, we are a cash-based practice, which means your care is not dictated by insurance limitations. Instead of rushed, high-volume sessions, you receive true one-on-one attention with a focus on quality over quantity.
We go beyond treating symptoms by identifying the root cause of your pain through detailed assessments and movement analysis. This allows us to create a highly personalized plan tailored to your goals, whether that’s returning to workouts, running, or daily activities without pain.
You’ll also receive hands-on treatment, targeted exercise progressions, and ongoing support between sessions—so you’re not left guessing what to do on your own. The result is more efficient care, fewer unnecessary visits, and long-term results instead of temporary relief.

What does a sports therapist do?
A sports therapist specializes in preventing, diagnosing, and treating injuries—particularly those caused by movement, overuse, or physical activity. But you don’t have to be an athlete to benefit! Sports therapy can help if you’re:
-
Recovering from an injury

Managing chronic pain such as back or neck pain

Dealing with a sports injury like a sprain, strain, or tendon issue
-
Looking to improve mobility, strength, and performance
-
Wanting to reduce your risk of future injuries
At Advanced Movement + Balance, we provide sports therapy both in-clinic at 18 Gay Street Unit B in Phoenixville, PA and through in-home visits in Radnor, Malvern, and Bryn Mawr, PA.
Whether you’re a competitive athlete, weekend warrior, or simply want to move better in daily life, sports therapy can help you feel stronger, recover faster, and stay injury-free.
Do you take my insurance?
We are an out-of-network clinic which means we do not partner with any insurance companies. Instead we have a pay-per-visit model with predictable pricing without the limitations of an insurance company. We take HSA/FSA to support your goals.
Our one-to-one approach has been highly successful enabling us to meet clients’ goals quickly.
How many visits will I need?
Every injury and person is unique and therefore their injury rehab will be different, however most of our clients feel better within 4-6 sessions. Because we are one-on-one sessions and do not have restrictions from the insurance companies, we are able to provide changes at a faster rate.
How long is a typical appointment?
Your initial evaluation is 45 minutes, where we assess your injury, movement patterns, and goals. From there, we create a personalized plan with one-on-one sessions ranging from 15–45 minutes based on your needs.
We also offer individualized programs you can follow independently, along with monthly check-in memberships for a more guided and supported approach.
Do you provide free discovery calls?
Yes. Under the Phoenixville location in the portal you can find a free 15 min discovery call.
