• We focus on all aspects of wellness—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual—because you are more than just your diagnosis.

• Many PT practices aren’t equipped for chronic, complex conditions. When multiple symptoms are involved, recovery can be non-linear, and many therapists may feel impatient. The same exercise doesn’t work for everyone, even with the same condition. You’re an individual, and we’ll treat you as such.

• We dive deeper into your pain and symptoms, often going further than others, and we like to make the process fun and creative!

Finding practitioners who truly 'get it' can be tough. Amy gets it.

• Through both personal and professional experience, she understands the complexity of chronic pain and disease, especially when combined with mental health or substance use disorders.

• The high rates of opioid misuse and addiction among chronic pain patients highlight the need to address all underlying factors. She is passionate about advocating for and leading in the PT and coaching fields, particularly for this population.

We love collaborating at Z+Z!

• One of the most frustrating aspects of healthcare, especially for those with multiple conditions, is the lack of collaboration among professionals. At Z+Z, working together to improve the quality of care is a top priority.

• We are passionate about collaborating with professionals from various fields—psychologists, rheumatologists, massage therapists, and more. Whether you already have a support network or need help building one, we’d be honored to be a part of it.

• *We always stay within our scope of care as a PT and coach and will refer you to other professionals if necessary.

• Yes. A blend of ‘required’ and ‘optional’ forms will be sent out via email prior to your first PT session. They allow me to gain insight into your intentions and goals for seeking out Z+Z services and can save time during our session to focus on you.

We read the forms thoroughly before your session, so you can trust none of your time is wasted.

• Introductions & Paperwork: Paperwork is completed electronically before the session, then we’ll take time to get to know each other and establish a comfortable, trusting relationship.

• Discussion of Symptoms & Goals: We’ll talk about your symptoms, medical history, and your goals to ensure we understand your unique needs.

• Assessment: We’ll have you perform movements or tests to observe your movement patterns, focusing on those related to your goals.

• Treatment Plan: Based on the assessment and your goals, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan and discuss the frequency of future sessions.

• Reflection & Home Exercise Program: Depending how far we get, we might teach you exercises to work on between sessions, which are crucial for healing and achieving your goals. These activities reinforce learning and support your progress.

• Device with Camera & Microphone: Use a computer, laptop, tablet, or smartphone with a camera and microphone. A laptop or tablet is ideal for a comfortable interaction and larger viewing area.

• Stable Internet Connection: Make sure you have a reliable, strong internet connection to avoid disruptions during the session.

• Quiet, Spacious Area: Choose a space where you can participate without distractions and have enough room to move for exercises. Don’t worry if you have limited space—we can make any area work!

• Comfortable Clothing: Wear clothing that allows free movement to help with assessments and exercises.

• Pen & Paper: Keep a pen and paper handy to jot down any questions or useful information during the session.
