As you progress through pregnancy, you may need to make modifications to accommodate your growing belly.

This depends on your prior level of fitness and factors such as your type of delivery and symptoms you may be experiencing. Many women can begin some form of exercise as early as 2 weeks postpartum.

We begin to work with women as early as 2 weeks postpartum either in-person or virtual. Many women prefer remote programming in the early weeks postpartum, where one of our women’s health specialists will create a personalized plan for you.

Lower back pain is very common and can vary from general soreness to severe pain. A physical therapy evaluation is the best way to assess your pain and treat your specific symptoms. Prior to your evaluation, it is best to avoid complete rest and to continue to remain as active as you can tolerate – whether that’s short walks, light biking or gentle stretching/mobility exercises.

When it comes to lower back pain caused by deadlifting, we recommend avoiding complete rest and working on light mobility exercises to encourage blood flow and tissue movement – ie. cat/cow, hip hinge, thoracic rotations, bird dogs. Should low back pain symptoms persist, we recommend scheduling an evaluation to better individualize a rehab plan.

Yes. TMJ is a joint and muscle dysfunction which can lead to symptoms such as jaw or facial pain and soreness, difficulty opening or closing your mouth, jaw clicking and headaches. Our physical therapists are all experienced in treating individuals with TMJ dysfunction.

The reasons for knee pain with squats and lunges can vary for every individual. We believe that complete rest and avoidance of a movement is never the best strategy when it comes to training injuries or acute pain. Depending on the tissues that are irritated or injured, specific exercises can be prescribed to help reduce pain/sensitivity and allow for safe return to all movements in and out of the gym.

We recommend scheduling a free discovery call with one of our physical therapists to discuss the best route for you. Both services are offered virtual or in-person. Many clients transition to personal training or remote programming following completion of physical therapy.

Pelvic physical therapists specialize in treating both women and men with symptoms or conditions affecting the pelvic region. Common symptoms include pelvic pain, pressure, low back pain, urinary leakage, constipation, or painful intercourse. This includes women who are pregnant or postpartum. These evaluations and treatments sessions can be completed in-person or virtual.

Being a cash based physical therapy practice allows us to dedicate more time to your individual care. Current insurance reimbursement rates force most companies to treat multiple patients at once and may even deny the performance based treatments we take pride in providing to our clients. We believe that the individuals who see us deserve better. We work for our patients and clients, not for insurance companies, and will not allow them to dictate your care.

If you would like to submit proof of your session with us to your insurance for out-of-network reimbursement, we would be happy to prepare and provide you with a superbill.

Because we are out-of-network, we do not require an order from your physician to address any issue you may be having. Furthermore, in the state of Wisconsin, no referral is needed to see a physical therapist (Direct Access). If you are unsure if we are appropriate to come see without your doctor’s referral, please feel free to give us a call to discuss.

Cash-based physical therapy is out-of-network physical therapy practice – meaning we do not accept insurance. We do however accept HSA and FSA as a form of payment for any and all expenses. We are also able to provide a superbill to submit to your insurance company for out-of-network reimbursement if requested.

Yes, absolutely! We accept HSA and FSA as a form of payment for any expenses.
