What We Treat

Sound familiar?

Point to where it hurts. We’ll show you how we fix it.

Side-profile body model highlighting the areas we treat
1

Neck Pain

That knot between your shoulder blades by 3pm: tension that won’t let go no matter how you stretch.

2

Shoulder Pain

Reaching for the top shelf and stopping halfway: rotator cuff pain, frozen shoulder, that catch every time you lift overhead.

Learn More
3

Elbow, Wrist & Hand Pain

Your grip gives out opening a jar: tennis elbow, carpal tunnel, stiffness that flares by Wednesday.

Learn More
4

Back Pain & Sciatica

Standing up off the couch like you’re eighty: sciatica, herniated discs, mornings that take ten minutes to loosen up.

Learn More
5

Hip & Knee Pain

That pinch when you cross your legs to tie your shoes, or stairs you now take one at a time.

6

Foot & Ankle Pain

First steps out of bed feel like walking on glass: ankle stiffness, a sprain that never fully healed.

The Recovery Journey

A plan you can see. Progress you can feel.

You’ll never wonder if it’s working. Four phases, each with a job, a timeline, and a way to know you’ve earned the next one.

Phase 1 of 4

Weeks 1–2

Pain

Calm the pain down.

  • Hands-on treatment starting your very first visit
  • Pain education so you understand what’s really going on
  • Quick wins early so you trust the plan
The Peak Physical Therapy team, ready to help calm your pain

Weeks 2–6

Prime

Get your motion back.

  • Targeted mobility work for the joints and tissue holding you back
  • Exercise dosed to your body, not a generic sheet
  • Movement retraining so old habits stop reloading the problem

Weeks 6–10

Perform

Make it strong enough to trust.

  • Progressive loading that builds real capacity, not just tolerance
  • Strength standards you have to hit before moving on
  • Confidence under load, so you stop bracing for pain

Weeks 10+

Prevent

Make sure it never comes back.

  • Sport- and life-specific testing before you’re cleared
  • A simple keep-it-gone program built for your real schedule
  • Clear graduation criteria: you’ll know exactly when you’re done

Why Peak Physical Therapy

You’ve maybe done PT before. Not like this.

Half our patients came from somewhere that handed them a printout and a heat pack. Here’s what’s different when a Doctor of PT owns your whole visit.

One-on-one Every visit
01

One-on-one, every visit

You’ll never be handed off to a tech or share your therapist with three other patients.

02

A Doctor of PT, every time

Every session is with a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy, not an aide.

03

No referral needed

In RI, you can start PT without seeing your physician first. We handle the paperwork if your insurance needs it.

04

We handle the insurance maze

We verify your benefits before your first visit, so there are no surprise bills.

Your First Visit

Know exactly what to expect.

No mystery, no surprises: here’s your first hour with us, minute by minute.

0:00

You’re greeted by name.

Paperwork’s already done: you did it at home. Straight back, no waiting room purgatory.

0:05

We watch how you move.

A full movement assessment, not just where it hurts, but why it hurts.

0:25

Treatment starts today.

Hands-on work in the very first visit. You’ll feel the difference before you leave.

0:55

You leave with the plan.

What’s going on, how long it’ll take, and exactly what happens next.

One hour. You walk out knowing what’s wrong, how long it takes, and what happens next.

The Honest Truth

Pain rarely waits with you.

Here’s what actually happens in the next 90 days, on both paths.

If you keep waiting

  • Your body compensates: other joints quietly pick up the slack
  • Simple problems layer into complicated ones
  • The workouts, walks, and weekends keep shrinking
  • Painkillers manage the noise, not the cause

If you start this week

  • A Doctor of PT finds the actual cause: visit one
  • Hands-on treatment starts the same day
  • A phase-by-phase plan with an endpoint, not endless visits
  • Most patients feel meaningful change in 4–6 visits

Nobody regrets starting too early. Every week, someone in our clinic says they regret waiting.

Questions, Answered

Everything you’re wondering before you book.

Straight answers: no medical jargon, no runaround.

No, most states, including RI, allow direct access to physical therapy, so you can start without a doctor’s referral. If your insurance requires paperwork from a physician, we’ll handle tracking it down so it doesn’t hold up your care.

We verify your benefits before your first visit, so you’ll know your exact copay before you ever walk in: no surprise bills later. If you’re without insurance or prefer to skip it, we also offer self-pay rates.

Wear something comfortable you can actually move in. Shorts are best if we’re treating a knee or hip, and a tank top or loose tee helps if we’re working on a shoulder or neck.

Your first visit, the evaluation, runs about 60 minutes. Afterward you’ll leave with a phase-based plan with an endpoint, not a guess, and not an open-ended string of visits. Most patients feel meaningful change within 4–6 visits.

It’s brief and localized: most people feel a quick twitch, then a wave of relief in that muscle. And it’s always optional; we’ll never spring it on you without explaining it first.

No. Every visit is one-on-one, hands-on care with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, never a tech handing you a printout. Your exercises are dosed specifically for you and progressed live as you improve.

That’s a fair question, and it’s usually the model, not you. A lot of clinics rotate you through techs and hand you generic sheets. Here, you get one-on-one time with a Doctor of PT every single visit, a cause-first evaluation instead of a cookie-cutter protocol, and a phase-based plan with clear graduation criteria, so you always know why you’re doing what you’re doing, and when you’re done.

Book Your Visit

Ready when you are.

Request a time and a real person calls you back, usually within two business hours. No phone tree. No ‘someone will reach out.’ Just a plan.
