Questions
FAQ
Is reCODE physical therapy?
No. reCODE is movement and recovery coaching. When a client's situation calls for physical therapy, chiropractic, athletic training, or sports medicine, we refer to the practices nearby.
Do I need a referral from a doctor?
No. Anyone can book an assessment. If you're working with a medical provider, keep doing that alongside coaching.
What's GOATA?
GOATA (Greatest Of All Time Actions) is the movement system reCODE coaches, built around the ground-up patterns humans are biologically designed to use for walking, running, hanging, and carrying load. Julian is GOATA-certified and reCODE is a GOATA affiliate. Every Movement program includes a lifetime GOATA app membership.
How is this different from a gym or personal trainer?
A gym asks how much you lifted. reCODE asks how you loaded it. A personal trainer designs a workout to hit a goal. Julian watches the pattern underneath the goal. If the pattern is wrong, hitting the goal breaks something; if the pattern is right, the goal tends to take care of itself.
What should I wear?
Clothes you can move in that let Julian see your feet, ankles, knees, and hips. Athletic shorts or leggings and a fitted top work well. Movement happens barefoot.
What if I have an injury?
If your injury is under active medical care, keep working with your medical provider. Once you're cleared to move, coaching can be a useful complement to the recovery work you're already doing. Tell Julian at your assessment. He'll tell you whether the work is a fit and whether to check with your medical provider first.
What is Electrons Plus?
Electrons Plus (E+) is a pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) device that applies a low-intensity magnetic field to areas of the body. reCODE uses it for recovery, energy, and post-effort support. It isn't GOATA and it isn't medical treatment. It is not for anyone with a pacemaker, defibrillator, cochlear implant, or other implanted electrical device.
What is Rapid Release?
A hand-held percussive device that delivers short-duration percussion to soft tissue. Julian uses it during Movement or E+ sessions when it's the right tool. It isn't a separate booking. If you'd like one for home, Julian can introduce you to Rapid Release; reCODE receives referral compensation on those purchases.
Can my teenager work with Julian?
Yes. Youth Movement Foundations is for ages 13–17. A parent or guardian signs the Youth Agreement and Release before the first session, and the athlete signs a page of their own and is welcome in the room or in the waiting area, whichever the athlete prefers.
Do you record my sessions?
Julian captures short clips and marks up still frames so you can see the patterns he's describing. That footage is part of your client record. Any use for education or marketing requires a separate Photo and Video Release, which is voluntary and never a condition of coaching.
What paperwork is there?
Before your first session you complete a short intake form and sign the reCODE Client Agreement and Release separately before your visit. Athletes ages 13–17 use the Youth Agreement and Release instead, signed by a parent or guardian. A Photo and Video Release is separate and optional. At 18, an athlete moves to the adult agreement.
What's your cancellation policy?
24 hours' notice. Cancel in time and the session rolls to the end of your package. A no-show or late cancellation uses the session.
What's your refund policy?
Unused portions of any package are refundable within 30 days of purchase. If your assessment has already been delivered, the $250 assessment fee is retained and the rest refunds. After 30 days, packages are non-refundable, but unused sessions remain usable within the 12-month package window.
Do you take insurance?
No. reCODE isn't medical care, so it isn't billed to health insurance and generally isn't eligible for FSA or HSA reimbursement. No payment is collected through the online appointment-request calendar. The team arranges payment separately.
How do I get started?
Book a Movement Blueprint Assessment. In 75 minutes Julian watches how you move, and you leave with a clear picture of whether reCODE is the right next step. If it is, the $250 credits toward Foundations within 30 days.
