Physical Therapy

In short, physical therapy is for anyone who wants to feel or move better. 

But we see you out there…

…spending precious energy and brain space analyzing every movement to determine if you’ll “pay for it” with pain the next day (or days)

…saying, “Ugh, I can’t do that because of my bad **insert body part here**”

…annoyed by that nagging pain you just want to be GONE

…spending years on the roller coaster of pain and injury and at this point you’re just living with it (but really would rather not)

…trying so many things to feel better, but haven’t worked, and wishing you could find a provider who thinks outside the box

…having gotten 80% better with physical therapy in the past, but can’t quite seem to get to 100% (and you know deep down that you should get back to 100%)

…giving the “protocol” program a try, but thinking you need something more individualized than the standard protocol treatment

…sick and tired of feeling crappy, but you don’t have much extra energy to do anything about it

We can help with all of this.

We created our own approach to physical therapy care, and we love it because it works. 

Gone are the days of a dude in khaki pants stretching hamstrings all day while telling another patient to do 3x10 of the next exercise on the list.

We see you as a unique human with unique needs. Your pain, frustration, and fears are real, and they are important to us. We will meet you where you are and get you back to the life you loved before it revolved this pain, frustration, and fear. 

We are meticulous in our assessment and treatment so that we are efficient in helping you hit your goals. We are constantly assessing you to make sure you’re making progress towards your goals. Time, money, and energy are precious and we promise to respect your resources as our own.

Our Philosophy

At Empower Physio and Wellness, we value trauma informed, resilience focused, hope infused care.

We are trauma informed because people almost always have at least a small trauma experience connected to their current limitation. Trauma is as simple as being in pain or being unable to do something you value. We consider these past traumas, big and small, and how they are currently affecting your life.

We are resilience focused because physical and mental resilience are so important for thriving through life. We guide you in maximizing physical and mental strength so you are equipped with the tools you need to handle future challenges life throws at you.

We are hope infused because hope is sorely lacking in the current health space. We are positive and honest with you about your current limitations and infuse hope in what your future life can look like. The sky is the limit for what you can achieve.

Above all, we are focused on YOU. You get your physical therapist’s full attention because we love getting to know you super well! Our focus is to give you what you need at each session, always thinking outside the box.

Let us bring joy and peace back to your life. With our expert guidance, you can get back to the life you love faster and with more ease than if you tried to figure it all out yourself. 

We got you. Let us take the guesswork and shopping around out of the equation so you can get back to doing the things you love with the people you love most.

Our process at Empower Physio and Wellness

  • Calm

    Let’s be honest, you’re here on our website because you want to get out of pain. That’s why calming pain is our first step. Once we have a very clear picture of what the problem is, we implement simple and effective strategies to start bringing your pain levels down right away. We don’t believe that you have to do 15 exercises every day for three months in order to start seeing results. Most of our clients start feeling better after the first one or two visits.

  • Retrain

    Most aches, pains, and injuries come about because of movement compensations over time. That’s why it is important to re-train and optimize the way your body moves. We also focus on re-training your brain and nervous system to better process stress and optimize recovery so that you build overall resilience.

  • Empower

    Once you are feeling and moving better, it’s time to get you strong! Stronger people are harder to kill (literally…studies show strong people have a 25% less likelihood of premature death). Current research emphasizes the importance of muscle strength, so in this phase we are locking in all the great work we did in the first two phases with building muscle strength. And we don’t mean 2-lb curls. We prescribe robust, total-body strength in a way that is super accessible to you.

  • Empower PLUS

    At this point, you are feeling awesome! We see it all the time that our clients want to do things they never thought they could do- go on an adventure vacation, play on the ground and run around with their grandkids, do a 5k race or even a half marathon, be active and present in the moment (instead of analyzing if they’ll pay for it the next day)…the options are endless. We are here to support you throughout life, help you continue to feel great, and offer body tune-ups–bodies need regular attention just like cars do. Whatever you need, we got you.
