Thank you for the question. Yes. All of our PTs are either certified in spine, completed a residency or fellowship, or working toward their certification.

Yes, after completing your course of therapy, your therapist will review your home exercises to continue managing your condition or prevent recurrence. We encourage quarterly wellness check-ups to make sure that you have the appropriate program as you progress at home. We also offer Core Training classes for clients looking to exercise in a safe, functional movement based group setting, led by one of our licensed physical therapists.

For patients who do not have insurance coverage or who choose not to use insurance, we offer private pay rates and packages. Contact us for more information and see our options.

Insurance coverage varies based on the company and your individual policy. We will contact your insurance company to gather information on your estimated benefits prior to you first appointment so that we can help you understand and navigate your insurance coverage. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions.

See our injuries and conditions page on our website for a glimpse of conditions treated at our clinic. All our therapists are well trained to evaluate and treat your condition. Our physical therapists are graduates of accredited physical therapy programs with either a master's or doctorate level degree, with many of them earning additional credentials and specializations. With years of training in anatomy, physiology, kinesiology, neurology, and other medical sciences, our therapists have the knowledge and tools to manage your condition.

We will gather your insurance information when you schedule your first appointment. Your insurance benefits and a quote of your estimated costs will be determined before your initial evaluation, and we will go over that information with you at your first visit. We have private pay rates and packages if you choose not to go through insurance. We accept cash, check, debit card, and credit card. We are happy to discuss payment plans as well.

We recommend dressing in comfortable clothes that allow easy access for the therapist to examine your problem areas. Typically, loose-fitting clothes that are comfortable for gentle exercises and supportive sneakers are often good choices to wear for treatments.

At our Prairie Village, KS location each appointment is 45 minutes. At our Lenexa, KS location each appointment is 60 minutes. The frequency of visits will be based on your specific needs, and our therapists will provide their professional recommendation of how many visits per week will be best for your condition, based on their findings during your initial evaluation. As you progress through treatment, your sessions may be more spread out, focusing on long-term management.

Our overall goal of physical therapy is to restore mobility and function and to prevent the injury from recurring. Our therapists evaluate your movement, identify the source of your pain, and work with you to manage your condition. As trained experts in musculoskeletal and neurological conditions, our therapists work closely with physicians and other healthcare professionals to ensure that your treatment plan is efficient and effective.

When you schedule with us, we will pair you with a licensed physical therapist that will see you throughout the entire care process. We do not have any physical therapy assistants, techs, or aides. Your PT will work with you one-on-one every session. For certain activities, we have specialists that can help. Check out our services page to see the specialty services we offer.

Kansas has direct-access physical therapy, meaning that you do not need referral to start physical therapy. However, Medicare and some insurance providers do require a referral to begin physical therapy.

Yes, you can use your HSA to pay for physical therapy services. For private pay packages, some HSA accounts may require a more detailed receipt, which we can provide upon request.
