Why Empower pt?
If you can relate to any of these questions, then Empower PT is the place for you! Our team is committed to helping you overcome your movement challenges to help you reach your goals. Whether you need to start with physical therapy or you are ready to begin one of our wellness services, you will receive private and individual care. All Pilates and training is overseen by our lead Physical Therapist to ensure full body care and healthy movement.
We care about your movement health and ability to perform the activities that are meaningful to you!
WHAT DO WE OFFER?
WHY ARE WE PRIVATE PAY?
Our goal is to provide private treatments that focus solely on YOU and your needs.
Due to increasing restrictions placed by insurance companies, patients are receiving less individual care and are often seen in a multi-patient environment. Patients receive less one-on-one time with their therapist and are often discharged before reaching their goals.
These restrictions do not exist at Empower PT.
We teach you movement freedom through individual attention with a hands-on approach. Empower wants to be your personal physical therapist, movement advocate, and cheerleader for reaching your health goals. This is done as we are not restricted to one body part, diagnosis, or number of sessions.
Although we are not in-network with any healthcare insurance, we are able to provide you with a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company. This is a receipt with all of the information that your insurance company requires for an insurance claim. Depending on your insurance plan, submitting a superbill may enable you to receive reimbursement from your insurance company based on your out-of-network benefits. Please contact your insurance company directly to receive details on your benefits.
In addition, Empower PT does accept Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) cards.

What are your methods of payment?
Empower PT accepts cash, check, and card payments. If you choose to pay with a debit or credit card there will be a 2.75% service charge applied to your total payment. If you would like to avoid this service charge we recommend paying with cash or check.
Do you accept insurance?
No, we are not in network with any healthcare insurance. But, we are able to provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company. This is a receipt with all of the information that your insurance company requires for an insurance claim. Depending on your insurance plan, submitting a superbill may enable you to receive reimbursement from your insurance company based on your out-of-network benefits.
You must contact your insurance company directly to receive details on your out-of network benefits.
Do you accept either Health Savings Account and/or Flexible Spending Account cards?
Yes. You may use the HSA and FSA for physical therapy. FSA can be used for physical therapy, private training, or pilates.
What if I am running late?
If you are running late we ask that you contact us via text through our business line, (813) 508-2553. If you must cancel, please know that all cancellations made within 24 hours will result in the cost of the appointment or loss of an appointment from your package.
All clients receive one free late cancellation per year for all Empower services.
What COVID safety measures have we implemented?
Edit as of 5/3/2021: Gov. DeSantis issued an executive order suspending all local COVID-19 restrictions. Due to this, Empower PT does not require face masks while in the studio. However, if you prefer to wear a mask, you are encouraged to do so. All team members are more than happy to wear a mask during your treatment time if requested. As a business, we strive to ensure your safety by cleaning all equipment and high touch points between each client.
Edit as of 5/16/2021: If you are fully vaccinated you may choose to wear or not wear your mask while in the studio.
Empower PT is a spacious and private setting that allows for social distancing to be maintained.
If you have any special requests for your instructor or therapist please feel more than welcome to share those with them so they can make you feel as safe as possible.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Be comfortable! For all services, we recommend clothes that you are able to move in, i.e. leggings, shorts, and/or sweatpants. For footwear:
Physical Therapy – Your normal walking shoes
Private/Group Training – Tennis shoes/Sneakers
Pilates – Pilates socks/Toe socks/Barefoot
Do you provide water?
We do provide filtered water and cups, and bottled water is available upon request. Due to COVID-19 safety measures we recommend bringing your own water bottle.
Is there anything I should do before my appointment?
Yes, all services have an intake form that must be completed. The link to the form can be found within your confirmation email from our scheduling program, Acuity Scheduling. If you do not complete your intake form prior to arrival, please arrive 5 minutes early to allow for optimal evaluation and service time.
