LiveAbility offers a 1:1 care model for specialty outpatient services including pelvic health, lymphatic care, as well as cancer care. A 1:1 care model means that you will receive you entire plan of care with your provider from evaluation to discharge. Your provider will get to know you and what is important to you. We believe that each patient is the expert of their own body and we listen. Each client at LiveAbility is important to us and it is our hope that each client move on from our facility better for the experience and knowledge they have gained. This 1:1 care model is often only employed in clinics that do not accept insurance. We respect providers decision to refuse insurance. For most providers accepting insurance is confusing, time consuming, and often makes it difficult for small clinics, providing quality care, to remain viable. We are proud to accept insurance, by doing so we are able serve members of our community who may not otherwise have access to this level of care, or these specialty services. We accept several major insurance payers including medicare and medicaid. Please check our cost page or call for full list of in-network insurance payers accepted at LiveAbility.

No matter what general or specialty service you have contacted LiveAbility to assist you with, we are committed to making all of our clients feel comfortable and welcome. Our primary goal for our initial encounter is to discuss your physicians referral if provided, uncover what assistance you seek, and to ensure we develop shared expectations for moving forward in all areas of your care including physical, emotional, financial, and time considerations. The treatment plans and protocols look different for each of our specialties as well as for individual clients. If you have any questions or concerns about what to expect in your upcoming appointment please feel free to reach out to us.

Our Lymphatic system is a complex system, intricately linked to our immune function. This system turns on as a response to genetic, acute, and chronic events. The lymphatic system is an important part of our bodies healing process, however, when it is not operating effectively we can experience increased swelling, pain, range of motion limitations, and we can develop functional impairments. Manual lymphatic treatments are gentle, yet profoundly effective at managing lymphatic fluid.
