## Definition

## What Therapy Session Means in a Contract

A Therapy Session clause defines the specific unit of professional care that a contract governs. It typically lists the recognized therapy types, such as physiotherapy, behavioral, occupational, physical, cognitive, or speech therapy, and clarifies that these services may be provided either individually or in a group format. The purpose of the definition is to remove ambiguity about what activities fall within the scope of the agreement, so that both the provider and the recipient understand exactly what is being paid for, delivered, or reimbursed.

This term is most often found in service agreements between a healthcare or wellness provider and a client, insurer, employer, or school. It functions as a building block for other clauses, including pricing, scheduling, cancellation policies, and outcome reporting. Without a clear definition, disputes can arise over whether a particular activity, such as a consultation or an assessment, actually qualifies as a Therapy Session under the contract.

The definition also anchors the contract to the customer's request, meaning the specific type, frequency, and format of therapy is shaped by what the customer has asked for rather than a fixed, one-size-fits-all package. This customization is common in <a href=.
