Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from women near Rye, NH considering physical therapy or Pilates.

Do I need a referral to start physical therapy in New Hampshire?

No. New Hampshire allows direct access to physical therapy. You can book a discovery call and start without seeing a doctor first. We are a cash-based practice and provide superbills to clients who wish to pursue out-of-network reimbursement through their health insurance plan.

What is private reformer Pilates and how is it different from a Pilates class?

Private reformer Pilates at Golden Hour is a completely one-on-one session on a reformer machine not a group class and not mat-only work. Every exercise is chosen based on your movement evaluation, your goals, and how your body is responding. It's a fundamentally different experience from a studio class, and that's by design.

I'm not sure if I need PT or Pilates. How do I decide?

That's exactly what the discovery call and comprehensive evaluation are for. We'll talk through what you're experiencing, assess how you're moving, and give you a clear recommendation on whether physical therapy, private reformer Pilates, or a combination of both is the right starting point. You don't have to figure it out on your own.

Is this kind of care worth the cost if I'm not injured?

Many of our clients aren't dealing with acute injuries, they're active women who want to move better, feel stronger, and stay ahead of the limitations that tend to creep up over time. Investing in a clear movement plan and one-on-one guidance pays dividends in how you feel day to day, how confidently you move, and how well you're able to stay active as you age.

What can I expect from a comprehensive evaluation?

Your evaluation is a full session, typically 60 minutes where we review your history, assess your movement patterns, and identify what may be contributing to your symptoms or limiting your progress. From there, you leave with a clear picture of your path forward, not just a list of exercises to do at home.
