Physical therapy on your terms
(not your insurance company’s).
We got sick of insurance companies telling people how many physical therapy sessions they could have. So, we ditched them…and came up with a new model to better serve our patients.
We know this might be the first time you’ve come across a cash-based physical therapy practice.
But don’t worry…we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Cash-based physical therapy is easy and cost-effective.
We’ll break it down for you below.
Frequently Asked Questions
We’re glad you asked! Check out our other section under "How Our Payment Process Works" to get an idea of how cash-based physical therapy allows you to achieve your goals quickly and the way YOU want.
There are quite a few things that make us stand out from traditional physical therapy practices and wellness services…
We travel to where YOU are - whether that’s at home, your office, the local track, or virtually via telehealth.
We’ll help you recover from an injury…and help prevent injuries from happening in the first place! Many people think physical therapy is just for recovery from surgery or to help with weakness. At Power in Motion Rehab, we’re focused on providing preventative, proactive care and rehabilitative physical therapy. Read more about the specific services we offer.
You’ll work 1:1 with a board-certified physical therapist for your entire session. That’s 5x as long as most PT clinics in the Pittsburgh area! More direct time with your physical therapist = faster progress towards your goals. Your PT will provide you with a completely customized plan designed to help you reach your goals.
You’ll have ongoing support between visits. Your physical therapist is only a phone call, email, or FaceTime away. We’ll be able to quickly troubleshoot questions or problems between sessions – so your progress never slows down.
With mobile physical therapy as an option, taking charge of your health, fitness, and function is simpler than ever.
Traditional physical therapy can take a lot of time. You have to drive through Pittsburgh traffic to the clinic, wait for your physical therapist, participate in therapy, schedule another visit, and drive home (or to work, the grocery store, your grandkids’ preschool, wherever life says you need to go next).
Power in Motion Rehab is a mobile physical therapy and wellness service based in Pittsburgh, PA. So, we come to you at your home, office, or even at your local track – as long as you’re located in the Greater Pittsburgh area. If you’re outside of Pittsburgh, we can also work with you virtually via telehealth. You’ll still need to put in consistent hard work outside of therapy to achieve results. But our mobile service really cuts down on logistical difficulties that traditional physical therapy comes with (and we think you’ll love that!).
Physical therapy evaluations usually last between 1-1.5 hours. Physical therapy and wellness visits each last 1 hour (minimum). After your first visit, your physical therapist can provide you with an estimate of how many visits you may need to see improvement with your specific concerns.
Short answer: yes.
Your pain, weakness, and worries can be solved with time, consistent effort, and teamwork. As physical therapists and fitness-forward clinicians, we’ll be able to create a program for you that will help address your concerns. We’ll always consider your medical history, medications, surgical history, and current physical abilities. And we’ll work together to accomplish whatever goals you have.
Solving these problems is really important. Don’t let fear of falling, pain, or weakness get in the way of you living a full life.
Many patients wonder about this. Pain and weakness can be huge limitations – but they don’t have to stop you from making progress. With consistency, resiliency, and a good physical therapist to guide you, you can overcome these things.
We’ve even had patients work with us and end up feeling better than they ever did before.
No. Dr. Kelly has her Direct Access license from the state of Pennsylvania. This means you do not need to have a prescription from your doctor before starting physical therapy.
However, if you are working with Dr. Kelly for 30+ days, we will work with you and your doctor to obtain a script. This is required by the Physical Therapy Practice Act in Pennsylvania.
Yes. Patient safety is our priority. We practice exceptional hand hygiene, and wear a mask for every session, with every patient.
For best results during your visit, we need to be able to assess how your body is moving. You should wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that will not restrict your movement. Wear the shoes you normally would for walking and daily activities.
