Transforming physical therapy for runners— We do it different at Tempo

For too long insurance companies have dictated care and limited people trying to get back to what they love.

That’s right. A non-medical professional typically decides how many PT visits you need. Without ever meeting or talking with you.

As a cash based physical therapy clinic, we get to treat you how you want and need in order to return to your lifestyle.

No more ruined training blocks or refunded race fees. Let’s get you healthy!

The Tempo PT Difference

Value

Work 1-on-1 with a specialized PT for the entire session. No passing you off to a tech to do your exercises. You’ll have my undivided attention.

Transparency

Know exactly what you are paying for and how much before you commit to any sessions. Some insurance based clinics will send bills up to 3 months later.

Authenticity

Feel respected and heard. There’s no replacing a doctor that truly cares about you. We want to see you crush your goals.

Confidence

Be empowered as you get back to running with the knowledge and understanding of how to help prevent future injuries.

Let’s keep you race-ready.
