It's Confusing Knowing Where to Turn for Real Help

You're stuck in pain and frustrated with the runaround. Sound familiar? You're not alone in this struggle.

1. Your Doctor Isn't Helping

Quick appointments, generic advice, and prescriptions that mask symptoms instead of fixing the problem. You deserve better than being rushed out the door.

Insurance Company Runaround

Can't get through to anyone, confusing coverage rules, and denials for the care you actually need. The system works against your recovery.

No Clear Path Forward

Getting out of pain and improving your health seems impossible. You don't know who to trust or where to start, and time keeps slipping away.

"From my first inquiry to working with AJ Physical Therapy for the last couple of months, every step of the way has been a great experience for me. Dr. Andy and Dr. Jeremy are both so personable and caring, and you can tell that they're passionate about what they do which is reflective in their work."

Nydia Cortes

"Andy is AMAZING! I'm a runner and a few years ago I was having so much pain in my calf that I was barely able to walk much less run. I went to Andy and within a week my calf was feeling 75% better and by the end of 3 weeks I was running again! I have not had a problem with my calf since! Andy gave me an exercise and stretching program that I follow to this day. I've even actually won a few races in my age group!!! Andy is amazing."

Kara Knowles

"Worked with Andy before my hip replacement and now again after. Love the one-on-one and personalized care. Have progressed much faster since switching back over to AJ from other standard physical therapy after my surgery. 10 out of 10 would recommend."

Heather Simpson

"It is hard to put into writing how amazing this PT team is. It starts with the younger and talented Crystal who is the glue for AJ PT. Once onboarded the professionalism, knowledge, and caring atmosphere is truly warming. Andy was incredible, I began with a specific knee issue and after a few sessions I was feeling great. He is fun to talk to and has a great sense of humor which helps to make it a really enjoyable experience. I loved going to AJ PT, I could not recommend them more and look forward to going again in the near future."

Gabriel Meekins

"Andy Johnson is the best PT I've ever gone to by far! During my visits, he was totally focused on me and my injury. He was able to identify what was going on with my shoulder pain, treat it in the office, as well as give me the appropriate exercises to do at home. I was able to recover even quicker than i expected. I found Andy to be professional, highly knowledgeable, and committed to providing excellent service. If I ever have a PT need again, I would definitely see Andy!

1. Do you accept insurance? We are a cash-based practice, which means we don't accept insurance directly. This allows us to provide full 60-minute, 1-on-1 sessions without insurance company restrictions limiting your care. We can provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement. Many patients find the quality and outcomes are worth the investment.

2. How long are appointments and what should I expect? Every physical therapy session is a full 60 minutes of 1-on-1 time with your therapist—no rushing, no sharing attention with other patients. We start with a free 15-minute discovery call to discuss your goals, followed by a comprehensive initial assessment. From there, we create your personalized treatment plan. Wear comfortable, athletic clothing and bring any relevant medical records or imaging results.

3. What is TPI golf assessment and who is it for? Our TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) Medical Level 2 assessment is a comprehensive golf-specific evaluation that identifies physical limitations affecting your swing. We use advanced tools including a full golf simulator and 3D force plate technology to analyze ground reaction forces, swing mechanics, and movement patterns. It's perfect for golfers of any skill level looking to eliminate pain, prevent injuries, and improve performance on the course.
