what to wear to your appointment
Massage:
Our massage therapists typically use oil and require direct skin contact. You’ll be asked to disrobe and lie beneath a sheet. If you prefer to remain clothed during your session, please wear fitted, comfortable clothing, such as leggings and a tank top, similar to what you might wear for yoga.
Rolfing:
Soft, fitted clothing like yoga wear or leggings and a tank top is ideal for Rolfing sessions.
Acupuncture:
Wear loose-fitting clothing that can be easily adjusted. Pants that can be rolled above the knees and tops that allow access to your arms are recommended. For face-down treatments, your acupuncturist may ask you to remove your top to access your back, in which case you’ll be properly draped for comfort and modesty.
A Note on Modesty:
Your comfort is our priority. Modesty is always strictly respected. Towels or sheets will be used to cover any areas not being treated. If you arrive in work clothes or something less treatment-appropriate, we’re happy to provide sheets and towels to keep you warm and covered during your session.

running late to an appointment
If you arrive late, your appointment may be shortened or may need to be rescheduled, depending on how late you are and your provider’s availability. Please call us if you’re running behind. We’ll let you know whether we can still accommodate your full session or if a new time will need to be scheduled.
DO you NEED A REFERAL FOR MASSAGE OR ROLFING
Many insurance plans do not require a referral for massage (manual therapy), and Rolfing is billed the same way. However, it’s always best to check with your insurance provider to confirm your specific plan’s requirements. If a referral is needed, Dr. Hulbert can provide one for manual therapy services.

DRY NEEDLING VS acupuncture
Acupuncture and dry needling both involve the insertion of thin, solid needles into the body, but they differ significantly in training, philosophy, and approach.
Dry Needling is a technique based on Western anatomy, where needles are inserted into muscle tissue to release trigger points—tight, sensitive spots that can cause pain or restrict movement. These trigger points often overlap with acupuncture points, but the method itself is not rooted in traditional Chinese medicine. Physical Therapists typically learn Dry Needling through a 2-3 day training workshop.
Acupuncture, on the other hand, treats both trigger points (known as Ashi points in Chinese medicine) and specific points along the body’s energy pathways, or meridians. This approach aims to enhance the circulation of qi and blood, reduce pain, and promote overall healing and balance. Becoming a licensed acupuncturist requires completing a three-year master’s program and passing national certification exams.
