What we treat
At Catalyst Physical Therapy, we specialize in orthopedics, spine care, and pelvic health for all genders.
Our approach goes far beyond treating isolated symptoms—we take a head-to-toe view of the body, understanding that dysfunction in one area can affect movement, healing, and function throughout. But we don’t stop at the physical. We also take time to explore the impact of mental health, diet, stress, and lifestyle, because true healing happens when the whole person is supported. With this comprehensive, full-body care, you get everything you need—all in one place, all at one time.

Our 4 Step Process
How we get you back to doing what you love
01
Identify
​
In this first phase, we take time to listen to your story and perform a thorough head-to-toe assessment. We look beyond just your symptoms to uncover the true root cause of what’s going on—whether it’s physical, emotional, or lifestyle-related. This sets the foundation for a personalized plan that actually works.
02
Stabilize
​
Once we’ve identified the underlying issues, we begin to calm irritated tissues, reduce pain, and improve basic movement patterns. This phase is all about creating a safe, stable foundation so your body can start to heal without constantly flaring up or compensating.
03
Restore
​
With stability in place, we focus on restoring proper function to the entire body. That means improving coordination, mobility, and strength—especially in areas that have been overworked or neglected. We reconnect your system so everything works together more efficiently.
04
Build
This is where physical therapy really shifts gears. The focus moves from pain control to lifelong fitness and resilience. We help you build a program that supports your continued progress independently, empowering you to maintain the gains you've made. During this phase, your physical therapist will check in periodically, adjusting your plan as needed to ensure you're on track. At Catalyst, we believe premium physical therapy doesn't end with discharge—it becomes an ongoing part of your health and wellness journey. Once you're part of our family, you’re always welcome, even if you’re no longer in active care. We’re here to support you for life, whether you have an injury or not.
