The Practice, and Why It Still Works This Way

One-on-one isn’t a slogan here. It’s the only way a cause-first evaluation stays useful past the first visit. The doctor who finds the actual reason for your pain is the same doctor treating you at visit two, and visit six, because that reasoning doesn’t transfer well between three different aides taking notes on three different clipboards.

Ten people work here. Five of them are treating clinicians and all five hold a Doctor of Physical Therapy, which is why the mechanism language on this site is allowed to be specific. The other five are the office coordinator, the licensed massage therapist, and the strength and conditioning coaches who run the floor once your plan reaches Perform. Nobody on the coaching or front-desk side is described here as a doctor or a therapist, because they aren’t, and that distinction is worth keeping honest.

If you’re reading an about page before booking anything, you’re not being difficult. You want to know who’s actually going to put hands on you, and that’s a reasonable thing to want from a doctor. It’s the same instinct Dr. Nick Hadinger had on the other side of the table, which is most of the reason this model exists at all.

Behind those five clinicians sit eighteen services ⟶ and twenty-six conditions ⟶, from a stiff neck to a torn ACL to nine separate pelvic health conditions treated in a private room. That range exists so the plan can change without you changing buildings, not so there’s a longer menu. The evaluation still decides which of the eighteen you actually get.

We are a cash-pay practice and we do not bill insurance directly. That is the trade that funds everything above: a full 60 minutes with your own Doctor of Physical Therapy, rather than a shared hour split three ways to make the math work. You get the rate before you book, and the plan has a named endpoint, so the total is knowable in advance instead of running until somebody says stop.

Skip the cause-first step and pain has a habit of finding its way back to the exact place you left it: the shoulder that behaves right up until the weekend you finally reach overhead for real, the back that holds up until the move, the trip, the yard work you’d been putting off. A plan with an endpoint only works if somebody actually found the endpoint first.

Every plan that comes out of that evaluation moves through the same four phases, Pain, Prime, Perform, Prevent, in that order, whether the diagnosis is a stiff shoulder or a knee six weeks post-op. The phases don’t change. The specifics inside them do.
