The PAR 5 Physical Therapy Difference

Our team believes you can achieve anything through the right medical care, movement practice, and lifestyle changes. To accomplish all this, we are big on bringing it back to the basics. Our current medical environment is quick to tell us that we are broken and can only be fixed by pills, injections, or surgery. PAR5PT is here to show you that there is another way. Your body has the amazing ability to heal itself, adapt, and survive in any environment. We just need to get out of our own way.

The path back to your healthiest self is not through canned approaches and outdated methods, such as ice packs, therabands, and stationary bikes. This one-dimensional strategy is rampant in traditional, third-party-pay physical therapy practices – you’ll soon see our tactics are delightfully different! PAR5PT is a private-pay physical therapy & performance center. Before your heart seizes from sticker shock, let’s shed some light on what private-pay physical therapy is and how this method will likely save you time, money and resources, while also helping you achieve your desired results. True story.

 
 

 1-On-1 Care

When being treated simultaneously along with 2-3 patients has become the norm for the majority of other clinics, we have refused to conform to this new norm. You will have the 100% undivided attention of your physical therapist for your entire, 1-hour long appointment

Time Spent With A Physical Therapist
Per Session

Due to the trend of insurance companies decreasing the amount they reimburse for physical therapy services, physical therapy clinics that do accept insurance have to see a high volume of patients to make ends meet. This leads to your physical therapist only being able to spend 15-20 minutes with each patient since they are required to see 2-3 sometimes even 4 patients in an hour. With PAR 5 Physical Therapy, your entire session will be spent with your physical therapist.

Same Physical Therapist Every Session

You will never be passed from PT to PT. You will be with the same Doctor of Physical Therapy each session!

100% of Your Care Carried Out By Doctors of Physical Therapy

Our team consists of ONLY Doctors of Physical Therapy. We do not use physical therapy aides or assistants.

Number of Times Patients Have to Come Into the Clinic Per Week

Our goal for all of our patients is independence. Because you're with a Doctor of Physical Therapy the entire session, we're able to provide you with all the education and exercises you need to take control of your progress and your recovery without needing to be reliant on us, another physical therapist, chiropractor, etc...!

Physical Therapist With Sports Specializations

Did you know that not all physical therapists have sports backgrounds? All of our physical therapists have sports specializations and hold some of the highest-level sports certifications in the industry.

Physical Therapists That "Walks the Talk"

Ever been to a practitioner who didn't understand your drive to get back to the activity that you love and told you to rest or to simply just stop that activity? You won't experience that here. All of our physical therapists walk the talk and understand your drive and the demands of your sports activity. Because they do, they know EXACTLY what needs to happen to get you back to the things you love!

Full Access to Your PT with Same Day Response

Have questions or updates between visits and want to run something by your physical therapist? No problem! You enjoy full access to your PT team with email, instant messaging, text, phone calls, and next or same-day appointments. We will always return your call that day or the next day. ALWAYS!

Care Carried Out By Energetic, Passionate Physical Therapists

What is not commonly known, is that the physical therapy profession has a high burnout rate. Why? It's not uncommon for a physical therapist to see between 14-20 patients a day in a traditional physical therapy clinic. This equates to almost 100 patients a week! At PAR5 Physical Therapy, our physical therapists are able to arrive and leave work energetic and passionate due to only seeing 7-8 patients per day i.e., almost 65 patients LESS per week comparatively. This means more attention to detail and ultimately improved outcomes for you!

Money-Back Satisfaction Guarantee

From our knowledge, we are the only practice in the area that offers a money-back satisfaction guarantee. We do this because, in a broken medical system, we hear time after time from our patients how they wasted so much time, energy, and money on other practitioners without results. We refuse to be a part of this problem. If, after 3 sessions, you're unsatisfied with your progress, you can ask for 100% of your money back. No questions asked!

Cost Efficiency

Many patients are hesitant to go out of network because they perceive that to be a more expensive route. However, in many cases, it may actually be the more cost-effective route depending on your insurance plan. Why? Because many people have high deductibles and end up paying out of pocket no matter whether they go to a clinic that accepts their insurance or not. As you can imagine, it doesn't take long to hit your deductible with in-network clinics that require 2-3 sessions per week. Our goal, because you only need to come in 1x per week for a total of 6-10 sessions, is that you never hit your deductible! If you have met your deductible, you will still have a copay with clinics that take your insurance. The national copay is ~$50. If you are having to go into the clinic 3x a week that adds up to $150 anyways!

Lastly, just because we're out of network, it does not mean you will not receive coverage from your insurance. In fact, most of our patients receive 50-80% coverage. How? We provide you with the documentation that you need as well as an app (Reimbursify) that will take care of receiving that reimbursement from your insurance company for you so you don't have to!

Cost Transparency

You will never get a bill for us months later. Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for patients to get hit with a large bill months later by clinics that do accept insurance. Why is this? Because insurance is so complicated, it's nearly impossible for in-network physical therapy practices to accurately predict the amount of what will be covered until they submit the bill to insurance. If insurance does not reimburse them for the full amount, you the patient, are responsible for the remaining balance.

Full Body & Wholistic Approach

Insurance companies restrict the physical therapist from treating any body part not listed on the referral from the physician. This leads to cookie-cutter approaches and severely limits the PT's capabilities of taking a full-body approach, providing holistic care, and truly getting to the root cause of your injury.

Unlimited Number of Sessions

Many times, insurance companies will cut off reimbursement once you, as the patient, are out of pain with everyday activities and will not reimburse in-network clinics for return to sport. This ultimately leads to the patient being discharged prematurely and never progress back into a full return to sports and recreational activities.

Full Access to a Strength & Conditioning Gym (i.e. Barbells, Dumbbells, Kettlebells, etc...)

PAR 5 Physical Therapy introduces cutting-edge rehab techniques. Hope you're ready to move because your PT has access to a full-strength & conditioning gym and plans to use it! On the other hand, there's traditional PT which focuses on passive modalities (ice, heat, ultrasound, TENS), and weak exercise progression (therabands, bike, no gym equipment). Hoping for innovation? Nope. Because insurance companies do not reimburse for many therapy techniques and it takes 10+ years for a new medical procedure to be reimbursable by insurance, your PT's hands are tied. Essentially, your care is decided by the insurance company - not your physical therapist
