Medical & Coaching Disclaimer
The Acu PT Co., LLC provides both licensed pediatric healthcare services and non-licensed wellness coaching services. It is critical that you understand the distinction between these two categories of service.
Licensed Clinical Services (Physical Therapy & Acupuncture):
Content on this website regarding Physical Therapy and Acupuncture represents medical information applicable only to patients who have established a formal provider-patient relationship and are physically located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or the State of New Jersey at the time services are rendered. These services are regulated by state licensing boards and subject to HIPAA privacy protections.
Physical therapy services are provided under active, unrestricted licenses issued by the Pennsylvania State Board of Physical Therapy and the New Jersey State Board of Physical Therapy Examiners. Acupuncture services will be provided under Pennsylvania State Board of Medicine and New Jersey State Board of Medical Examiners licensure once credentials are finalized. During the licensure process, only non-needle techniques (acupressure, tuina, auricular seeds) are used with pediatric patients, which fall within the scope of physical therapy practice.
Non-Licensed Wellness Services (Integrative Health Coaching & HeartMath):
Content regarding Integrative Health Coaching and HeartMath Certified Practitioner services is for educational and wellness purposes only. These services are not medical care, mental health counseling, psychotherapy, or any form of licensed healthcare. No provider-patient relationship is created through wellness coaching. These services are not a substitute for medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. You should not discontinue or modify any medical treatment or medication based on coaching content without consulting your physician.
Jhoanna Rae L. Marquez, PT, DAc, INHC is a HeartMath® Certified Practitioner who completed the HeartMath® Interventions Program. HeartMath® techniques are evidence-based biofeedback and self-regulation methods for stress management and emotional resilience. These techniques are educational tools, not medical treatments.
General Website Content:
All blog posts, social media content, downloadable resources, videos, and general information shared on this website or through our social media channels are for educational purposes only and do not constitute medical advice. This information should not be used to diagnose or treat any health condition. Always consult with your child's pediatrician or qualified healthcare provider before making any decisions about your child's health or treatment.
No Guarantees:
Individual results from any service vary significantly. We make no guarantees, promises, or warranties regarding outcomes, cure, symptom improvement, or specific results from either clinical or wellness services. Testimonials represent individual experiences and are not typical results.
Emergency Situations:
If you believe your child is experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately. Do not rely on information from this website or wait for a response to an email or message in an emergency situation.
Social Media Interactions:
Interaction with The Acu PT Co., LLC on social media platforms (including but not limited to likes, comments, shares, or direct messages) does not create a provider-patient relationship or a coaching relationship. Social media interactions are public or semi-public and are not confidential. Do not share protected health information or personal medical details through social media. For confidential communications, please use our secure patient portal (OptiMantra) or contact us directly through the methods provided on our website.
Comments or questions posted on social media will be addressed in a general educational manner only and do not constitute individualized medical advice or treatment recommendations.
Testimonials:
Testimonials and success stories shared on this website or social media represent the experiences of specific individuals under specific circumstances. These are not typical results. Outcomes from physical therapy, acupuncture, and wellness coaching vary significantly based on many factors including baseline condition, adherence to recommendations, concurrent treatments, and individual physiological and psychological differences.
Professional Boundaries:
To maintain appropriate professional boundaries and protect both our clients/patients and our practice, we do not accept friend requests or personal social media connections from current or former patients or clients on personal social media accounts. All professional interactions should occur through business channels.
