Physical Therapy

Points North Sports & Regenerative PT, LLC, is a boutique clinic offering hour-long one-on-one sessions in a beautiful, private setting. The clinic primarily serves adults and children with acute, subacute, and chronic orthopaedic and sports medicine injuries, as well as those who are rehabilitating from an injury, surgery, or illness. The clinic also offers fitness and wellness consultations. In order to provide the highest level of care possible, Points North Sports & Regenerative PT no longer works with the health insurance payment system. The fee for a one-hour session is $100, payable at the time of the session. An itemized, coded receipt is emailed to clients after the session which they can use for HAS/FSA reimbursement or to attempt to use for reimbursement from their health insurance company.

Some serious injuries or chronic medical conditions may require periodic follow-up, and some clients with a very physically demanding lifestyle, such as athletes or those in physically demanding occupations may need an occasional PT “tune-up.” Points North clients who have finished rehab are always welcome to make an appointment as needed to check-in.

Consultations are offered to clients with a truly chronic condition that has not responded to other treatments and may be followed up with an additional session or two to assist the client in developing self-management strategies.

Physical therapy research continues to demonstrate that exercise and manual therapy have the best treatment efficacy, and this is the primary treatment that clients receive at Points North Sports & Regenerative PT. Exercise does not necessarily mean plunging into high-intensity workouts right off the bat! An exercise program can consist of exercises prescribed to address the factors contributing to the injury or condition, blood flow restriction training, relaxation techniques, brain retraining techniques, postural training, and recommendations and assistance with implementing lifestyle changes. Modalities including high-powered laser therapy, electric stimulation, instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization, and ultrasound are offered as well.

Kathleen has studied and trained with several different methods of manual therapy and she uses each when appropriate. For spinal alignment work, she employs a gentle osteopathic-based method based on techniques from the Center for Integrative Manual Therapy which can best be described as a combination of myofascial release, muscle energy technique, and gentle manipulation. Some clients occasionally confuse this gentle method with acupressure points or “energy work.” Points North Sports & Regenerative PT does not offer acupressure nor any form of energy work. All treatment techniques are physiologically based and evidence-supported.
