1. NATURE OF SERVICES
Kinematics with Kelly, LLC (“KWK”) provides movement-based, performance, and wellness services under the direction of a Board-Licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy.
These services include, but are not limited to:
-
HumanTrak and ForceDecks movement assessment
-
Manual therapy and soft tissue interventions
-
Integrative Dry Needling
-
Cupping therapy
-
Exercise instruction and performance education
-
Recovery and mobility programming
-
Workshops, wellness, and faith-based sessions
-
Mobile and event-based Recovery Room services
These services are proactive, educational, and movement-based. They are not rehabilitation or insurance-driven physical therapy plans of care.
2. CLINICAL INTENT & DIAGNOSTIC DISCLAIMER
KWK provides movement analysis, not medical diagnosis.
Findings identify functional movement inefficiencies and performance asymmetries, not disease or pathology.
Services are delivered by a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy, but do not establish a physician-prescribed rehabilitation plan or qualify as “medical necessity care” under insurance definitions.
If medical pathology or contraindications are suspected, KWK follows a strict Stop-and-Refer Protocol directing clients to appropriate medical providers.
3. CONSENT TO TREAT & PARTICIPATE
I voluntarily consent to receive services, education, and physical interaction (manual or movement-based) from KWK and its affiliates, including contractors, assistants, volunteers, and partner organizations.
I understand that:
-
All services are elective and cash-based.
-
My participation is voluntary and may be withdrawn at any time.
-
I have the right to decline any exercise, modality, or treatment at my discretion.
-
Sessions may include physical touch, manual techniques, and movement testing.
By signing below, I grant permission to Dr. Kelly Neumann, DPT, CIDN, and/or any KWK affiliate clinician to perform the agreed-upon services within their legal and ethical scope.
4. INTEGRATIVE DRY NEEDLING & MANUAL MODALITIES CONSENT
If Integrative Dry Needling (IDN), Cupping, or other manual modalities are used, I acknowledge that I have been informed of the nature, benefits, and potential risks.

Temporary soreness, bruising, or bleeding

Implanted devices (pacemakers, spinal stimulators, etc.)

KWK reserves the right to decline IDN or any modality for safety.
5. DATA COLLECTION, PRIVACY & EDUCATIONAL INTENT
I understand that KWK collects objective movement data through VALD ForceDecks and HumanTrak for performance education and clinical documentation.

Data is stored in VALD Move Health, a HIPAA-aligned encrypted system.
-
My data may be used for anonymized reporting or research under KWK’s evidence-based initiatives.

KWK and its affiliates are not responsible for facility hazards or third-party conditions.
-
Host organizations agree to provide a safe and suitable environment.
