Re: TREATMENT SESSIONS for snowbirds

[Guest guest]

here in Canada, i think we are considered snow birds, and i know several clients

who go to arizona to escape our winter. we charge a flat rate as too many

people get 'sticky' about different rates. we ALWAYS send owners with a home

program, and have it on a sheet so they can tick off the boxes as they are

done... i think some rehab places focus more on the underwater treadmill and

less on exercises.

For my facility if a client is going elsewhere over the winter months we

encourage them to contact me so we can make the sessions 'seamless'...but they

don't always bring the info...

hope this helps
