WHAT OUR PATIENTS ARE SAYING:
Have You Met Your Deductible?
“I had a great experience at PTRC over the last several months. My current rehab (for a 2014 knee replacement and a 2015 rod in my leg from a broken femur) was to help improve overall function of the knee and leg, as well as pain that kept me awake at night. I started in the pool with exercises, then moved into the gym. I was eventually able tomovemykneeenough toride thebicycle,something I hadn’t done since my knee replacement. Kirk and the rest of the staff are fun to work with– they never make you feel embarrassed about your handicap and applaud your progress. They also gave me exercises to do at home and at the San Marcos Activity Center pool. It’s a really great program.” -Kate M.
An insurance deductible is the amount of money that you pay before your insurance company pays for your medical services. Patients with family plans or those who have had major surgeries or chronic illness are especially likely to have a $0 balance remaining on their out-of-pocket expenses. If your deductible is met, your Physical Therapy may not cost you anything! If you are close to or have met your insurance deductible for the year, then now is the time for Physical Therapy! Call 512.353.4575 (San Marcos) or 512.847.9057 (Wimberley) today!

Her personal belief in regards to physical therapy is: “millimeters matter.” So many ailments get glossed over by the untrained eye, and if a patient isn’t well educated by their therapist, they may be performing their exercise program incorrectly. She is proud to deliver expert treatment and clinical guidance, as well as an individualized exercise program to all of her patients.
