What are the office hours?
Each therapist sets their own treatment hours. We often have evening and weekend appointments available, please contact us for details. Our receptionist is typically in the office Monday through Friday from 9:00am - 2:30pm.
How long are appointments?
The initial session can last anywhere from 1 hour 15 min to 1hour 30 min. During the first 20-30 min of your initial session the therapist will go through your health history and talk to you about a treatment plan. The next hour or so is a full treatment. Every subsequent appointment is usually 45 minutes to 1 hour long.
