Common Questions
When should I start therapy? Most patients begin within days after surgery — your surgeon will guide the ideal timing and we'll coordinate directly with their office. What happens at my first session? We'll review your surgery details, assess your current mobility, and design your personal recovery plan. Plan for about an hour. How should I prepare? Wear clothes you can move in comfortably, bring your insurance card and any surgery notes, and most importantly — bring your questions.
Insurance & Payment Options
We accept most major insurance plans and offer flexible payment options. Our team will verify your benefits and explain coverage details before your first visit to ensure a smooth experience.

What Our Patients Say
Real Google reviews from people just like you
“My 12-year-old daughter broke her ankle and was non-weight bearing for 10 weeks. After just two sessions with Christian, she regained proper walking form and returned to dance and sports. He strengthened her ankle and leg muscles beyond what we expected. Incredible care!”

“I tore my meniscus and the team at Active PT designed exercises specific to my gardening movements — which is what I really wanted to get back to. The personalized approach made all the difference. I'm back in my garden pain-free and stronger than before.”
Maria S.

“I experienced dramatic increases in shoulder range of motion and strength thanks to Active PT. My doctor had been recommending surgery, but Christian's treatment prevented that entirely. If you're considering surgery, try Active PT first — you might not need it.”
