Dr. Hart remains active in competitions such as powerlifting, CrossFit, bodybuilding and currently pursuing his pro card in open bodybuilding in the NPC.

The Neubie (“Neuro-Bio-Electric”) is a patented and FDA-cleared direct current (DC) stimulation device. Using DC has several unique effects on patients, including promoting tissue healing and optimizing the healing and repairing of bone, muscle, connective tissue, and nerves. While repairing and healing the body takes time, the Neubie is even better known for creating “Wow” moments with patients who make functional changes very quickly.
Exercise science is the study of the effects of physical activity on the human body. The benefits of exercise are numerous, including improving cardiovascular health, strengthening muscles and bones, increasing flexibility and balance, and reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. Regular exercise can also improve mental health, promoting feelings of well-being and reducing the risk of depression and anxiety. Additionally, exercise can help improve athletic performance, whether you’re a competitive athlete or just looking to stay in shape. With the help of Dr. Hart, individuals can learn how to design and implement safe and effective exercise programs tailored to their individual needs and goals.
Dry needling is a technique that utilizes thin needles that are inserted into the skin to stimulate specific muscles and tissues to relieve pain, improve function and movement, and reduce muscle tension and spasms.
Functional Range Conditioning is a mobility training system that aims to increase active flexibility, joint strength, and resilience. It is a combination of mobility drills, strength training, and controlled articular rotations (CARs) that target specific joints and muscle groups. FRC is based on the scientific principles of mobility training to improve joint health, injury prevention, and athletic performance.
Balance training can improve stability, coordination, and overall physical function, reduce the risk of falls, and enhance athletic performance.
Neuromuscular re-education is a form of physical therapy that aims to retrain the nervous system to improve muscle function and coordination, reduce pain and enhance overall movement through the use of exercises, stretches, and specific techniques.
Cash-based physical therapy is a form of therapy in which patients pay directly for services rendered, rather than going through an insurance provider. This allows for greater flexibility in treatment and a more personalized approach to care. With this type of practice the insurance company can’t dictate treatment, so we are able to do anything necessary for you to reach your goals and get you moving better!
We currently operate as a cash-based physical therapy practice. This means we don't directly bill insurance companies. We are considered out of network.
Our initial evaluation typically lasts 50-60 minutes, while follow-up sessions last 45-55 minutes. We also offer 80 minute sessions as well.
We treat a wide range of conditions, including but not limited to: orthopedic injuries, sports injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, chronic pain, and neurological conditions.
Benefits of Cash-Based Physical Therapy:
Personalized Care: We focus on creating a treatment plan specific to your needs and goals, without limitations imposed by insurance companies.
Direct Access and Scheduling Flexibility: You can schedule appointments directly with us, often with shorter wait times compared to insurance-based practices.
More Time Per Session: We can dedicate more time to your treatment during each session, leading to potentially faster recovery.
Transparent Pricing: You'll know the cost of your treatment upfront, with no surprise bills.
Focus on Outcomes, Not Paperwork: We minimize administrative hassle and focus on getting you back to feeling your best.
While we don't directly accept insurance, we can provide you with a detailed receipt you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand your out-of-network coverage for physical therapy.
Choosing cash-based physical therapy allows us to prioritize your well-being and provide a more efficient and personalized path to recovery.
Transparent Pricing:
Upfront Costs: With cash-based therapy, you'll know the exact cost of each session or treatment plan from the beginning. This allows for better budgeting and avoids surprise bills that can arise with insurance.
No Hidden Fees: There are no hidden fees or deductibles associated with cash-based therapy. You pay the agreed-upon price, and that's it.
Potential Upfront Costs with Insurance:
Deductibles: You may need to meet your deductible before your insurance starts covering any costs. This can be a significant amount of money upfront, especially if you haven't reached your deductible yet.
Copays: Even after meeting your deductible, you might still have a copay for each appointment. These copays can add up over the course of your physical therapy treatment.
Coinsurance: Some insurance plans have coinsurance, where you share a percentage of the cost with your insurance company. While the insurance pays a portion, you'll still be responsible for your share, which can be a significant upfront cost.
Prior Authorization: Your insurance company may require prior authorization for certain treatments, which can lead to delays in getting the care you need. This can be frustrating and impact your recovery timeline.
Limited Coverage: Insurance companies may limit the number of sessions or specific types of therapy covered. This might not align with your optimal treatment plan, forcing you to pay out-of-pocket for additional sessions desired by your therapist.
