Tired of Physical Therapy That Doesn't Work

Traditional PT often leaves you feeling rushed, under-treated, and stuck at the same baseline where you got injured in the first place. You deserve more than cookie-cutter exercises and 15-minute appointments that barely scratch the surface.

Rushed Appointments with No Real Progress

You're in and out in 20 minutes, doing the same generic exercises with little improvement. You need individualized care—not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Insurance Restrictions Limiting Your Care

Your insurance dictates how many visits you get and what treatments you receive. Real healing takes time and a personalized plan—not arbitrary limits.

Symptoms Treated, Root Cause Ignored

You feel better temporarily, but the pain keeps coming back. Lasting recovery means addressing why you got injured—not just where it hurts.

"My experience with Dr. Kevin has been life changing. We fixed a chronic hip issue that had been flaring up for over a decade—but it wasn't just that. The entire environment here is about caring for you as a person, not just a patient, gym member, or business opportunity. I'm not only physically better, but also in a better place mentally and spiritually—and isn't that what holistic health is all about? If you're on the fence, I highly recommend taking the leap."

What Our Patients Are Saying

Rated 4.9 stars with 281 reviews on Google

  • "Dr. Kevin made me feel heard and truly helped my pain in a few sessions. My PT sessions were carefully thought out to meet my needs, never just a basic back pain program. I tried a traditional PT through my insurance and it made my pain worse. Now I am back to weight lifting, running, and being able to do my job efficiently."

    Katie T.

  •  "I worked with Dr. Kenton to rehab my ankle and get it stronger than ever. I can now trust my ankle on the court and it has been much easier to play with confidence. Without the help of Dr. Kenton, I would not be where I'm at today, playing basketball at the level I am!"
