Frequently Asked Questions

Come in ~8 minutes early to find the office and settle in. To ensure a timely and efficient visit, please to fill out the Ocean MFR Intake Form prior to your appointment. This will help our practitioner review the reason for your visit. Please be aware that if you do not arrive at your appointment with your intake form completely filled out you will have to fill them out during your appointment time.

To maximize the effectiveness of the treatment wear loose fitting clothes to allow for direct treatment on the skin.  Preferred clothing include: bathing suits, shorts, tank tops, and sports bras. The therapist can work around your clothing, however clothes may inhibit direct hands on treatment. DO NOT wear lotions as it will cause the skin to be slippery, which will limit the hands-on contact. 

After your MFR session, drink lots of water to rehydrate the fascial system. This can increased blood flow and circulation, which in turn can increase healing and/or symptom relief. It is recommend to NOT engage in strenuous activity or sporting events up to 24-48 hours after a treatment, as your body may not be fully recalibrated. Activities like walking and stretching are fine to perform.

In California, physical therapists can see you with or without a medical referral, for wellness and fitness purposes, and for an initial physical therapy evaluation. For physical therapy treatment of an injury, you can receive direct physical therapy treatment services for a period of up to forty-five (45) calendar days or (12) visits, whichever occurs first. To continue to receive physical therapy treatment, you will need to receive, from a person holding a physician and surgeon's certificate issued by the Medical Board of California or by the Osteopathic Medical Board of California, or from a person holding a certificate to practice podiatric medicine from the California Board of Podiatric Medicine and acting within his or her scope of practice, a dated signature on the physical therapist's plan of care indicating approval of the physical therapist's plan of care and that an in-person patient examination and evaluation was conducted by the physician and surgeon or podiatrist.
