Your time with us belongs to you.
At our Holladay clinic, you pay Mindful Movement directly for your 60-minute first PT visit with Dr. Emily. If your plan offers out-of-network benefits, we can provide a superbill for you to submit.
Ask about your goals, our approach and payment before deciding on care.
When pain keeps interrupting your life, you deserve time to be heard and a plan that makes sense. Our individual PT appointments are one-on-one with Dr. Emily. We listen, look closely at what changes your symptoms and practice a plan for the things you want back.

What dedicated one-on-one time makes possible
If you have spent appointments repeating exercises while waiting for someone to check on you, it is understandable to want something different. During your individual visit here, Dr. Emily works with you rather than rotating between several patients. That gives us room to notice, explain and adjust.
We start with your story.
Tell us what you have tried, what still hurts and what you miss doing. We connect the examination to your questions, whether that is getting through work, sleeping comfortably or returning to a trail.
We find out what actually helps.
For back and neck pain, McKenzie assessment explores your response to selected positions and repeated movements. We can check an important task before and after, then choose a useful starting exercise.
We adjust while you are here.
If a movement is not helping, we work through why. If you are ready to do more, we help you progress. Your assessment, treatment and changes to the plan happen with your DPT throughout the visit.
You leave knowing what to do.
We practice together, explain what to notice afterward and agree on a manageable amount. Pain education helps answer worries about movement; strength and activity practice help you work toward everyday confidence.
Manual therapy and dry needling are options during in-person care when they fit your symptoms and preferences. You do not need to choose a technique before your appointment. We help you understand where it fits in your wider plan.
Our goal is relief that carries into your day, followed by the skills and strength to do more on your own. Follow-up has a purpose: check what changed, solve a remaining difficulty and build toward the activity you want back.
DPT, Cert. MDT
Your story comes first with Dr. Emily
Emily’s early work in neurological rehabilitation shaped her interest in movement, pain and what people want to get back to.
Emily wants to hear your questions, what you have already tried and what you most want back. Your examination and diagnosis help guide care, alongside your response to movement. You practice a manageable starting plan together and review how it works in your daily life.

Why clients value working with Mindful Movement
Less pain and more confidence after years of back pain.
“My pain has decreased, my confidence is much higher and overall quality of life improved.”

Time to feel heard.

“I never feel rushed, and I always feel heard.”
— Melissa J.
Already have insurance? Compare the care you will receive.
It is a fair question: why pay directly when you already have coverage? For us, the reason to consider it is the appointment itself—dedicated time with Dr. Emily, careful reassessment and a plan you understand well enough to use between visits.
Before choosing a clinic, ask:
- Who will work with me at follow-up? Will I see the PT, a licensed physical therapist assistant or another team member?
- How much time is truly one-on-one? Will my clinician also be treating other patients during my appointment?
- What happens if I am not improving? How will the exercise selection, amount or wider approach change?
- What will I be able to do on my own? How will we practice the skills I need outside the clinic?
Insurance-based clinics can also offer excellent individual care. Compare the actual appointment structure and your benefits. At MMPT, we have chosen a direct-pay model to protect the focused time and flexibility described here.
Why continuity and a good working partnership matter
You work one-on-one with Dr. Emily. We agree on a goal, practice the starting plan together and review what changed at follow-up.
What does cash-pay or out-of-network physical therapy mean?
You pay Mindful Movement directly for your appointment rather than having us bill your insurance. We provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement. You can ask us about payment arrangements before deciding to book.
You do not need to give up your insurance to work with us. The question is whether our individual approach fits your goals and whether the payment arrangements work for you.
How a superbill works—and what to ask your insurer
How does a superbill work?
A superbill is an itemized clinical receipt with information such as diagnosis and procedure codes. It supports an out-of-network claim; it is not a promise that your insurance will cover the visit.
- Check your benefits. Contact your insurer before your appointment and ask about out-of-network physical therapy.
- Pay the clinic directly. We can explain payment arrangements before you book.
- Request your superbill. Ask us for the documentation for your physical therapy visit.
- Submit your claim. Follow your insurer’s instructions. Your insurer determines the eligible amount and any reimbursement.
Questions to ask your insurance company
- Does my plan cover out-of-network physical therapy?
- Do I have an out-of-network deductible, and how much remains?
- Is reimbursement based on the billed charge or a different allowed amount?
- Does my plan require a referral, authorization or particular documentation for reimbursement?
- How do I submit a claim, and what is the deadline?
Can I use my HSA or FSA?
Mindful Movement accepts HSA/FSA cards for eligible physical therapy expenses. Keep your receipts and check your account’s requirements. Eligibility for general coaching or classes can differ, so ask your plan administrator about those services separately.

Common questions before booking
Will my individual PT appointment be with a DPT or a PTA?
Your individual PT appointment at Mindful Movement is one-on-one with Dr. Emily Warren, DPT, Cert. MDT. She assesses, treats and adjusts your plan with you during the visit.
PTAs are licensed clinicians who work under a PT’s direction. When comparing clinics, ask who will provide follow-up care and how much dedicated time you will receive. Our individual appointment model keeps that time with your DPT.
Do I need a referral to start physical therapy?
No referral is needed to begin in-person PT with us. If you plan to seek out-of-network reimbursement, check your insurer’s separate referral and authorization requirements before booking.
How many appointments will I need?
We discuss a starting plan after your assessment and revisit it as you progress. Follow-up visits can be 30 or 60 minutes, depending on your needs. Our aim is to make each visit useful and help you manage more confidently between appointments.
Can I speak with Dr. Emily before deciding?
Yes. Request a Free Case Review to discuss your goals, ask about our approach and clarify payment questions. We will follow up to arrange a time.
Where can I work with you?
New in-person appointments are at 4890 Highland Dr in Holladay, serving Greater Salt Lake City. Virtual coaching is available from anywhere. Clinical virtual PT is a separate service; we confirm availability for your needs and location before booking.
Do you offer bone-health support?
Yes. Dr. Emily is BoneFit trained and offers individual bone-health care and Strong Bones Strength Class. Ask which starting point fits your goals.
Let’s talk about what you want back.
You do not need to have everything figured out. Tell us what you have tried, what is still difficult and what you would love to do more comfortably. We are here to help you choose a useful next step.
We will follow up by phone or text to arrange a time. This Free Case Review is separate from your first 60-minute physical therapy assessment.
