F.A.Q

In the state of Missouri, a physician referral is not required to initial physical therapy. If subsequent physical therapy visits are required beyond 30 days, ReYou therapy will fax a prescription with a detailed evaluation to a provider of your choice. If you are seeking coverage from your insurance you will likely need a referral from an approved healthcare provider: physician, surgeon, chiropractor, dentist, nurse practitioner, or podiatrist. ​

ReYou Therapy believes in quality over quantity. We want to dedicate our time and attention to You, therefore we do not directly bill your insurance. Research suggests cash-based therapy practices have higher patient outcomes and faster recovery times (less visits) due to the therapist’s ability to spend more one-on-one time with patients to tailor treatments to patient needs instead of being limited by insurance documentation time and insurance restrictions. ReYou Therapy can supply you a “super bill” upon request, which you will be able to submit to your insurance and potentially receive reimbursement depending on your out-of-network coverage. You can call the number on the back of your insurance card to ask what your out-of-network coverage is for physical therapy and how you submit for reimbursement. Some insurances are simple and have an online process or fax, while others have forms. There are no hidden costs and payment is due at time of service. ReYou Therapy does accept FSA/HSA payments.

Physical therapy visits are aimed at a specific injury or pain that is limiting your daily functional activities. Interventions include: restoring range of motion, strength, manual therapy techniques, gait training, or neurological re-education. Wellness sessions focus on maintaining or improving physical and mental health through lifestyle choices and preventative measures. Wellness sessions provide a chance for “tune ups” to keep on track with your health goals and physical mobility goals. Once your initially injury has subsided, wellness is a great option to prevent injuries and maintain a balanced state of body and mind. Visceral therapy is an amazing tool to keep the body regulated, relaxed, and to promote full body vitality. 

Your vagus nerve is your 10th cranial nerve described as the “wandering nerve.” It connects your brain to your internal organs, also known as your viscera or visceral organs. The messages sent back and forth along the vagus nerve from the brain to the organs function on two separate systems, parasympathetic and sympathetic response. These messages get sent automatically, without having to consciously think about it. Your parasympathetic system helps your body “rest and digest” and heal! It tells your body you are safe and you are able to digest your food and the detoxification systems can also feel safe to do their work. Your sympathetic system triggers your “fight, flight, freeze, or fawn” states and signals your body to escape danger and ramp up all of the organ systems including your immune system, breathing rate, and heart rate. The “gut” or microbiome also sends electrochemical signals along the vagus nerve, which affects our hormones, brain chemistry, and entire body’s response.  Our body is very resilient and can normally detoxify and maintain a healthy state, but sometimes the toxin burden overloads the system. This leads to sympathetic dominance, signaling your digestion to slow down and your detox pathways to halt, which decreases your ability to heal. Our food, toxins, chemicals, parasites, heavy metal exposures, or mold exposures affect our entire body’s response due to these amazing neural pathways. Visceral therapy helps the body by signaling the vagus nerve to guide our body back to parasympathetic state and improves the physical ligamentous attachment mobility between the organs, which provide structure to the body and “hold everything in place.” 

ReYou Therapy has had great success with Supreme Nutrition Products to provide the body with all natural herbal supplements to support gut health and overall vitality. Natural herbs are a prebiotic fiber that helps promote healthy probiotic processes in the microbiome, which then travels throughout the body. These supplements “feed” the healthy bacteria and fungi in the microbiome, while eradicating and binding the disruptive microbes. ReYou Therapy has been training to use muscle testing to assess which products each individual’s nervous system feels “safe” with and utilizes it at the right time to establish a healthy microbiome and overall vitality.
