Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before booking your first visit at Movement First PT.
New York allows direct access to physical therapy, so you can book a free phone consult with Dr. Kapoor without a physician referral. If you do have imaging or prior records you'd like to share, bring them along we find that context helpful during your initial assessment.
Most traditional PT clinics rely on cookie-cutter protocols and hand patients off to aides after the first visit. At Movement First, every session is one-on-one with Dr. Kapoor, DPT and we use 3D-powered movement analysis to identify the objective root cause of your pain instead of guessing. The plan we build is designed around your training and your goals, not a generic discharge timeline.
Not necessarily. Our approach is built around keeping you moving as much as safely possible. For most patients, smart, modified training is actually part of the process. We'll work around your schedule and your sport so recovery doesn't mean sitting on the sidelines any longer than necessary.
Being cash-based means we answer to you, not your insurance company. It means Dr. Kapoor can spend a full session with you every single visit, use advanced technology like 3D movement assessment and shockwave therapy, and build a plan based on what your body actually needs not what a billing code allows. Most patients find the outcomes and the attention are worth it.
Your first visit starts with a thorough one-on-one conversation about your history, your goals, and what's been holding you back. From there, Dr. Kapoor conducts a comprehensive movement assessment using 3D-powered analysis to identify exactly what's driving your pain. You leave with a clear picture of what's going on and a personalized plan to address it.
