Frequently Asked Quesions.
As we fall into the area of pro-active and preventative care, RH does not take insurance.
However health savings accounts (HSA's) are perfect avenues for organizations, team members, and clients to utilize for a pretax opportunity.
What is the difference between RootHealth and other providers?
There's quite a few differences. It depends on the provider. Some tend to work more like a fitness club. Most clinical health providers utilize nurses (who are not trained as movement specialists in any way, btw) instead of clinical exercise physiologists as they are very geared toward a traditional medical paradigm.
For the most part, we:
*Follow a functional, pro-active, holistic, terrain based thought and service paradigm vs clinical, reactive, compartmentalized, outside based, allopathic one.
*Put injury resilience and the elimination of pain first;
*Are very pro-active toward eliminating negative conditions at the root cause;
*Focus on prevention AND resilience
*Provide a robust education platform;
*Provide health coaching as a major component;
*Are more centered on the active living of the individual yielding a better outcome outside of the gym rather than work inside of the gym (as related to personal training).
*A complete and comprehensive approach with our 5 pillars vs. single services.
Who does RootHealth work with?
RootHealth works with people with chronic health conditions, athletes to increase performance/decrease injury, those exiting the care of healthcare providers, those under the care of healthcare providers, and those looking to optimize their conditioning program based on health testing and outcomes.
Does RootHealth work with rehab?
Within our scope of practice is ‘post-rehab’ and ‘prehab’. In other words, should you have an injury, a physical therapist would work on the healing post injury. After that, we will work with you on developing strength and a balanced physiology to avoid injury recurrence, which is common.
In cases where pain or other health condition is chronic rather than an acute event or surgery, we can work to develop past physiologic IMBALANCES that are the SOURCE OF injury. In some cases, an orthopedist, DO, or DPT consultant may be required first.
