Vertical Physical Therapy and Wellness

 The founders of Vertical aim to provide an elevated standard of care. Unlike many traditional, outpatient clinics you will receive our undivided, professional attention with one to one treatment. Additionally, since lack of accessibility is one of the largest barriers to receiving health care, we come to you.  By providing physical therapy where it is most convenient for you we improve adherence to treatment, which results in better outcomes. In fact, patients treated 1:1 in their home (gym, or office) were found to be 50% more adherent to their treatment plan  than those who attended outpatient, facility based care. Our patients receive all of the benefits of an outpatient visit with no waiting rooms, no time wasted on travel, and no need to arrange childcare.  No physician referral is needed.

At Vertical, we listen to our patients. Nobody knows your body better than you.  Our evaluation techniques are extremely thorough and often uncover sources of pain and impairment overlooked by other providers. We help manage pain and improve physical function using a variety of approaches such as manual therapy, exercise, modalities (ultrasound and electrical stimulation), specialty services (below), and education. 

 We  treat a manage variety of conditions ranging from acute sprains and strains to post operative conditions. Some of the diagnoses we treat include, but are not limited to the following,

• Back Pain and Sciatica
• Neck Pain

• TMJ
• Whiplash

          * See links at top of page for details on specialty services.

Education is one of Vertical's favorite services to offer. While we hope to avoid putting ourselves out of business, we love to teach the community how to prevent injuries and/or recurrence of pain. We offer a wide variety of topics for all ages and situations including, but not limited to,

• Management of Back Pain and Sciatica
• Weightlifting and Shoulder Injuries
• Balance and Fall Prevention
• Office Ergonomics

Vertical does not hold contractual agreements with insurance companies. This is so we can provide you with all the services you need in a one to one format without restrictions that might prevent achieving a successful outcome. By the time patients attending physical therapy at traditional outpatient clinics pay their co-pay and the up charges for their "cash based services", the cost of Vertical's care is comparable and the convenience is unmatched. Payment is due at the time of service. Payments may be made per visit or as a package.

Vertical partners with local gyms to assist in retaining and growing their client base. Injuries often interfere with gym goers' ability to participate in workouts resulting in cancelled gym memberships.  We provide services on-site at gyms to their members for both prevention and rehab of injuries. Our staff can assist members with a graduated and safe return to working out after an injury or surgery, or we can provide stretching in conjunction with many of the services above on a maintenance level to help prevent impairment.

We also partner with other businesses in much of the same way. Additionally, Vertical can conduct job site analysis and make ergonomic recommendations to reduce strain from poorly designed work stations.
