Helping People in Northeast Ohio Move & Feel their Best, NATURALLY.

No referral or insurance necessary!

Got Back Pain??

Let's unwind one of the most common classes of back pain, "Flexion-Based" injuries. These are typically caused by repeated forward bending (slumping or hunching the spine sternum to belly, without bending your hips/knees).

Especially when repeated, or prolonged, this is a recipe for pain...but the good news is that you can heal, and very rarely are X-rays, MRI's, or CT's needed.

They're expensive pictures that often don't affect your method of physical rehabilitation. Bottom line, keep moving (extension is preferred), and seek out PT to expedite the healing process.

If caught early enough, a few visits should do it.

Why Cash-based PT?

Ethics

We work for you, not for the insurance companies. Because insurance is not involved, it can't dictate your care, you simply get the focused treatments you need. Less visits are generally needed to achieve your goals vs carving out time to come 3x/wk for 6 wks.

Direct Access

Ohio allows you to come directly to outpatient PT with no physician referral needed. Isn't that awesome?! Time is of the essence when you lose mobility or pain is limiting you.

1:1 Care

Your appt is yours and yours only. Your therapist will tailor your plan of care to your needs, & you will NOT be passed off to an aide for "cookie cutter" exercises you can perform on your own at home. We know your time is valuable, and want your time spent with us to focus on problem solving, by actually correcting faulty movements and teaching you WHY those corrections will help you move easier/feel better, vs. simply watching you exercise. Anyone can find exercise videos on YouTube nowadays, but are those programs right for you? Let us help you navigate and take the guesswork out of that, so you don't make things worse. Our rehab programs treat the individual, not the diagnosis.
