FAQs
Common questions about performance physical therapy and getting started.
Cash based physical therapy can actually cost less than or be comparable to going through insurance. We provide only one-on-one treatment sessions for 60-minutes each visit. These one-on-one sessions range from high level manual therapy to progressive strength training, utilizing various tools included in your care to help you get back to your desired activity, faster.
Many other clinics have their physical therapists seeing 4-5 patients per hour, vastly limiting hands-on time. The sessions may be spent with a rehab aide training you on how to perform the same cookie-cutter exercises with no individualization and minimal results. They will try to book you multiple times per week for 8-10 weeks. Your care is dictated by insurance, not your goals.
Whole Strength requires fewer overall sessions than traditional insurance PT to meet your goals due to the high level of care provided and the ability to spend focused time on you. Experience what physical therapy should really be like with individualized, genuine, one-on-one care from a Doctor of Physical Therapy.
No referral is needed. Virginia allows direct access to physical therapy, so you can book a phone consult or discovery call directly with us to see if we're a good fit.
