If you went to physical therapy before and it didn’t work for you, you’re not alone. (We see this every week with our patients.)
And it probably wasn’t your fault!
Traditional insurance-based PT was not designed for active adults, because it was designed to:
- Get you “functional”, AKA can you do the bare minimum
- Reduce pain enough to discharge you and show progress
- Fit care into short, rushed sessions with constantly varying therapists
That model works for some people- but not for active adults who want to train hard, lift heavy, run fast, and stay pain-free.
Active bodies need:
- Longer, focused sessions
- Hands-on assessment and treatments
- Movement-specific programming that fits your goals
- A plan that goes beyond exercises with thin resistance bands.
At Competitive Edge PT and Performance, pain relief is only step 1 of our 3-step recovery formula. The real goal is restoring performance and confidence in your body and movement.
So wouldn't it make sense that your care should match your goals—not insurance limitations?
If you want to keep working out without fear of setbacks, the approach has to be different, because staying active shouldn’t feel like a fragile balancing act.
If you want to train hard, move well, and stay pain-free long-term, your care should match that standard.
