Numerous individuals pursuing physical therapy encounter insurance limitations that restrict their access to conventional treatment options. While traditional physical therapy can yield positive results, alternative therapies—such as chiropractic care, acupuncture, massage therapy, and integrative fitness programs—have also demonstrated significant effectiveness in alleviating pain, enhancing mobility, and expediting recovery.
At present, patients frequently find themselves compelled to cover the costs of these treatments out of their own pockets or to forgo them altogether, creating a substantial obstacle for those who may not respond well to traditional therapies or who prefer holistic, non-invasive approaches. Consequently, many individuals are deprived of the necessary care to enhance their quality of life.
This matter resonates deeply with me. My wife, Destiney, has encountered numerous medical challenges over the years that ultimately resulted in her loss of mobility. Throughout this period, we sought both in-home and in-office physical therapy, only to be confronted with bureaucratic hurdles and insurance limitations that hindered her access to treatment. Frustrated by the existing system, we explored alternative options and discovered Fly Bodies, a local small business that specializes in low-impact bungee-assisted therapy.
Fly Bodies provides a distinctive approach where patients are secured in a harness, enabling them to experience near-weightless movement—an ideal environment for individuals like Destiney, who are unable to stand independently. After just a few sessions, the improvements have been remarkable. However, due to the lack of insurance coverage for this type of therapy, we have been required to pay entirely out of pocket.
Let us unite and advocate for legislation that supports individuals like Destiney, who have consistently demonstrated their ability to reclaim their lives.
