Scheduling
- Eliminate your pain and
- Improve your function as effectively as possible!
.
The Initial Evaluation is suggested so we can determine exactly what is going on with your body: We asses the range of motion of your joints, muscular strength, sitting, walking and standing posture; we will discuss therapies you have tried in the past, etc, and then based on these results, we design a full therapy plan which will give you the quickest pain relief and the most comprehensive improvements.
The Additional Three Sessions may include any combination of AMT.
- Manual therapy
- Actions (AMT’s exclusive style of therapeutic exercise)
- Postural Education
- Sleep Education
- Ergonomic Education
- Manual and Mechanical Traction
- Heat and/or Ice Therapy.
At the conclusion of the Accelerated Package, you should see a marked improvement in your condition. You will also feel confident in what you will be doing to maintain your ‘new and improved’ condition, such as knowing how and when to do the Actions, how to maintain your posture, strength and flexibility.
Once you have completed the Accelerated Package, you will have access to our Director and her expertise in any related problem that comes up, all for FREE!
The Accelerated Package (Initial Evaluation plus three sessions) should be scheduled close together with a day or two in-between. (for example, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Monday)
Additional individual appointments if needed, are scheduled on an as-needed- basis. Depending on your condition, these follow-up sessions may be with an Active Myofascial Therapist or other therapy provider.
Although it is not optimal, if the full Accelerated Package is not something you can afford now due to scheduling or budget needs, we still encourage you to come in for a half session or one or two Individual Appointments. You will still get a lot of benefits from seeing an Active Myofascial Therapist and in the future if it is warranted - you may want to complete the more comprehensive Accelerated Package.
In the individual sessions your therapist will perform a quick assessment and provide the therapy she feels would benefit you the most.
To Be Considered For Therapy At Diamond Wellness Center:
The founder of Active Myofascial Therapy - The Diamond Method™ is based out of her San Francisco office at Diamond Massage & Wellness Center
Simply put - Irene Diamond does not work with everyone who wants to come in. You will experience the best results if you are committed to doing your part. If you don’t have the time, energy, or ability to do the simple exercises, postural changes or other ‘homework’ she suggests, we respectfully request you to please not contact us for therapy.
If you are interested in receiving AMT and would like her to consider taking you on as a client please call us at 415-921-1290 to discuss your condition.
We will look at your situation and determine whether or not Active Myofascial Therapy – The Diamond Method™ or our other rehabilitation therapies are appropriate for you.
Initial Evaluation appointments are performed by our director,
Irene Diamond and due to the popularity and success of the therapy,
it is usually necessary to book your appointment up to a month or
more in advance.
