To Be Considered For Therapy:
Simply put - Irene Diamond does not work with everyone who wants to come in.
People experience the best results when they are committed to doing their 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 please do not contact us for therapy.
To be considered as a new client please call us at (415) 921-1290 to discuss your condition.
She 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.
AMT Therapy Structure:
AMT is designed to work fast to eliminate your pain and improve your functionas effectively as possible!
Therefore it is highly recommended you start with the Accelerated Package.
This Accelerated Package includes a thorough Initial Evaluation, plus three additional therapy sessions. The Initial Evaluation is suggested so we can determine exactly what is going on with your body: what your range of motion is, muscular strength, postural assessment, discuss therapies you have tried in the past, etc. 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 such as the manual therapy, Actions (AMT’s exclusive style of therapeutic exercise), postural education, sleep education, ergonomic education, manual and mechanical traction, and 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 do 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.
Also, once you have completed the Accelerated Package 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.
Although it is not recommended, if the full Accelerated Package is not something you can afford to do now due to scheduling or budget restraints, you will probably still benefit from seeing an Active Myofascial Therapist for one or two Individual Appointments.
The therapist will perform a quick assessment and provide the therapy he or she feels would benefit you the most to give you immidiate pain relief.
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!
************
Please note: Due to the fact we have such a high request for appointments, there are often times when we do not accept new clients and patients. Therefore if you are considering applying to be a client, please do so as soon as possible to reserve your time.
