TESTIMONIALS

Dear Irene,
It is a real pleasure that I am able to thank you for helping me walk upright again.  It’s been so long since I’ve been without pain and have had to bend over to walk, that I hate to think about it.

So far what you have accomplished with your treatments is next to a miracle and I know that other patients feel the same.  I am sure they do.  Thank you again for helping an 85 year old woman walk, ride a stationary bike, and enjoy the pleasure of feeling 29.

You are indeed to be commended for your profession and even the skill you’ve brought to it.  I do hope others my age or even older find their way to you.

Sincerely,

B.A. Stuart
San Francisco

Make An Appointment
for
Active Myofascial Therapy ~
The Diamond Method™

For Your Condition and Specific Situation...

AMT Therapy is designed to work fast to:
Eliminate your pain and Improve your function as effectively as possible!

AMT Therapy Structure:
For the most comprehensive results - we highly recommend you start with the Accelerated Package.
The Accelerated Package includes:
A thorough
Initial Evaluation, plus three or four additional therapy sessions.

The Initial Evaluation is suggested so your therapist can determine exactly what is going on with your body: Your assessment will include the range of motion of your joints, muscular strength, sitting, walking and standing posture; You will discuss therapies you have tried in the past, etc, and then based on these results, a full therapy plan will be designed to 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.

The Accelerated Package (Initial Evaluation plus three or four 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.

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!

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. Simply put, 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.

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.



Also, once you have completed the Accelerated Package with Irene Diamond, you will then be a member of our AMT Life-Timer Group and be elligible to contact us with any questions or concern regarding the problem you came to see us with at any point for ever (or as long as we both are alive) and we will help you at no additional cost! (We are THAT motivated to keep you pain-free!) Of course if it is a complex situation or your problem has changed, we may need to schedule a follow up visit which will reqire payment.

If you live out of state and are not able to visit our San Francisco Wellness Center, we are also in the process of developing a way to assess you over the phone and through photographs of your posture. Let us know if you would like to try that!
