Answers before you book.
No. MYOLAB is a cash-pay, fee-for-service practice, and we are out-of-network with insurance plans. We made this choice on purpose. Working outside insurance lets us give you a full hour of one-on-one time with the same doctor every visit, treat the root cause instead of the billing code, and use whatever hands-on techniques your case needs without a plan limiting visit length or method.
Insurance often dictates how long a visit can be and which techniques get reimbursed, which is why so many clinics double-book patients and lean on aides. As a cash-pay practice, we answer to you, not a plan. You get the full hour, direct doctor time, and a plan built around your goals. Most clients find that fewer, more effective visits with a doctor who actually knows their history is the better value, even before factoring in HSA/FSA savings.
Yes. Our clinical care is HSA/FSA eligible, so you can use pre-tax dollars from your health savings or flexible spending account to pay for evaluations, follow-ups, and care packages. If you are weighing options for HSA FSA physical therapy in Malvern, this is one of the simplest ways to lower your out-of-pocket cost. Bring your HSA/FSA card and we will take it at checkout.
In many cases, yes. On request we provide a superbill, an itemized receipt of your visit with the codes your insurer needs, that you can submit to your plan for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Reimbursement depends on your specific out-of-network benefits, so we recommend calling your insurer to confirm coverage before you decide. We are happy to answer questions about what the superbill includes.
No. Pennsylvania has direct access, which means you can see our physical therapist without a physician referral. You can request an appointment and start care directly with us. If your situation ever calls for imaging or a referral to another provider, we will tell you and help coordinate it.
Your first visit is a full-hour new-patient evaluation for $165. We sit down with you, take a thorough history, run a hands-on movement and orthopedic assessment, and explain what we are finding in plain language. You leave with a clear plan and, in most cases, treatment that same day. Follow-up visits are $165 for 60 minutes or $90 for 30 minutes, and care packages are available: Jumpstart (4 visits, $600), Recovery (8 visits, $1,160), and Full Rehab (12 visits, $1,680). All clinical care is HSA/FSA eligible.
Clinical intake is request-then-callback. You submit a request through our book online page or call us at 610-400-3116, and a member of our team calls you back to learn what is going on and schedule the right first visit. This short conversation lets us match you with the right clinician and make sure the full hour is set up for your needs before you arrive. If you are on the fence, we sometimes offer a brief consultation to talk things through.
Dry needling uses thin monofilament needles to release tight, irritated muscle tissue and trigger points, which can reduce pain and restore movement. At MYOLAB our clinicians work at the top of their scope: our chiropractors perform both adjustments and dry needling, and our physical therapists perform both dry needling and manipulation. That means your care is not boxed in by a single discipline, and the technique you get is the one your body actually needs.
We treat a wide range of musculoskeletal and sports-medicine concerns: back and neck pain, joint and tendon issues, sprains and strains, post-injury rehab, and the nagging aches that keep you from training or moving well. Our integrated approach combines chiropractic, physical therapy, strength and performance, and recovery, so we can address the problem and help you build resilience against the next one. Not sure if we are the right fit? Call 610-400-3116 and we will tell you honestly.
Yes. Beyond clinical care, MYOLAB has three departments under one roof. Strength and performance offers one-on-one training at $110 and semi-private sessions at $50 per person, and we recommend starting with a 30-minute assessment. Recovery and longevity is self-serve: drop-ins start at $20, red light therapy is $40, and memberships start at $60 a month. Many clients move from rehab into training and recovery so their progress holds.
Clinical evaluations and follow-ups are $165 (60 minutes) or $90 (30 minutes), with care packages from $600. Personal training is $110 one-on-one or $50 per person semi-private, and recovery starts at $20 per drop-in or $60 a month for a membership. You can see the full breakdown on our pricing page. Clinical care is HSA/FSA eligible, and superbills are available on request.
