THE PATHFINDER DIFFERENCE

Veteran-Owned Business

You deserve to feel heard - and know how to move forward.

It's frustrating to keep missing out because of pain, finish therapy and still feel limited, or walk into a gym without knowing what's right for you.

We take time to understand what's holding you back and what you want to accomplish. Then we help you work toward it with focused care, clear guidance, and a plan built around you.

01

A full hour focused on you.

Your PT appointment is one-on-one with Hans, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, for the entire hour - with the same clinician throughout your care.

02

Support as your goals grow.

From rehabilitation to personal training and performance, you have options to keep building with a team that gets to know you.

We're happy to help you find your starting point.

Do I need to be fit or experienced to start training?

No. We welcome beginners, people returning to exercise, and experienced athletes. Your assessment helps us understand your starting point and develop an appropriate plan.

Can you help me after surgery?

We provide post-surgical physical therapy. Hans will assess your needs and guide your rehabilitation in coordination with your surgeon's instructions.

What makes your PT appointments different?

Every evaluation and treatment is one full hour, one-on-one with Hans, a Doctor of Physical Therapy. You'll work with the same clinician throughout your care, with no rotating therapists or handoffs to a technician.

How do you handle insurance?

We accept Medicare Part B.

For all other insurance plans, we are out of network. Payment is made at time of service. We can provide you with detailed receipts and documentation for you to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
