Patient/Client Rates, Live Presentation Rates, Career and Exercise Questions

 

Patient/Client Rates:

  • Patients:
    • Tom only sees, consults with, and/or offers advice to patients in-person! True assessment is not possible online or via zoom. Assessment is not a protocol or “canned”. It is a skill honed across decades. It is not performed in one session. Every attempted intervention (i.e, treatment, exercise, etc.) is a process that demands MicroProgressed trials, constant assessment of tolerance, subsequent modifications, and constant and continual refinement via minute progressions or regressions as indicated by the individual’s idiosyncratic tolerances and abilities displayed acutely minute by minute, subsequently across the following hours and days.
    • He believes it is unethical to “pretend” to see, consult with, or offer advice to patients virtually, online, by phone, or by email.
    • Only patients or clients with severe and/or multiple orthopedic and/or neurological challenges or limitations, be they acute or chronic.
    • Rates are between $500 per hour and free depending upon the individual and his/her situation.
    • More complex and extended cases may be of interest for longitudinal studies and for that reason may be reduced in price or even offered free.
  • General fitness, “body transformation”, etc: $800 per hour.
    • These goals are not of value for research, are not at all intellectually stimulating, and are quite frankly too easy to accomplish, so it is only in rare situations/cases that Tom will commit valuable time to them.

NOTE: Travel is NOT a vacation or holiday for Tom. He traveled as many as 150-200 days a year for over a decade. He has reluctantly been to over 30 countries. He states, “At this point there is nothing exciting, fun, or cool about traveling. I’m sure you state or country is awesome, but frankly I don’t care. It’s not an enticement“

Career and Exercise Questions:
