How would you describe your clinic’s overall mission in one sentence?

Empowering, Holistic, Revolutionary, and Hope-Restoring. We see you as a whole person, not a collection of isolated pains, combining deep listening with root-cause focused care that transforms lives. We’re the clinic where patients rediscover hope and excitement about their health journey, creating a warm, private environment where every individual feels truly heard and understood.

Do I need a referral from my doctor before attending Physical Therapy?
Michigan’s direct access law allows patients to receive physical therapy treatment without a physician referral or prescription for a limited period.
What makes your clinic’s approach to physical therapy unique compared to others in your area?

What sets us apart is our comprehensive, whole-body focus when traditional therapy has failed. We conduct comprehensive testing to create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Unlike other clinics that treat symptoms in isolation, we uncover root causes through our award-winning holistic methodology. This attention to detail has not only earned us recognition as a top 3 clinic in our area but also attracts patients from across the country seeking our expertise. We’re the PTs that people turn to when they’ve tried everything else without success.

What emotions or feelings do you want patients to experience when they first visit your website?

Patients consistently tell us “I’m so excited” and “I finally have hope again.” They experience transformation from feeling unheard and frustrated to feeling empowered and understood. We enjoy one-on-one care in a quiet, private setting where you can focus on healing, with personalized attention that respects their intelligence and unique story. Many describe feeling validated for the first time in their healthcare journey.

What are the key things your patients often say about your clinic that you’d want new patients to know?

Pelvic Floor and Orthopedic Treatments are our cornerstone services. These are critical because they address interconnected systems that most providers treat separately. From dry needling to postural restoration, we bring you a diverse range of innovative techniques. This comprehensive approach is essential because your body functions as an integrated system – addressing only one area often leads to recurring problems elsewhere.

What do you believe patients should understand about their recovery journey with you before they even book an appointment?

Patients should understand that their journey with us is transformative, not just rehabilitative. We guide you from pain to understanding to empowerment. Your treatment evolves as you do, ensuring you’re always getting what your body needs most. Through continuous testing and plan adjustments, we ensure you’re always moving in the right direction. This isn’t about managing symptoms – it’s about discovering your optimal health potential and achieving lasting wellness.

How does your clinic personalize care to each patient’s needs, and why is this important for their recovery?

Your body, history, and lifestyle are one-of-a-kind. That’s why we conduct comprehensive testing to create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you. We actively listen to your unique story, respecting your experiences and intelligence. This personalization is critical because generic approaches fail to address the complex, interconnected nature of your individual dysfunction patterns. Every treatment plan evolves based on your specific responses and needs.

Why should a new patient trust your clinic for their therapy needs? What makes you stand out from others?

I understand you may feel hesitant – many of our most successful patients felt the same way when they first called us. What I can tell you is that we’re different because we truly listen to your entire story, not just your symptoms. We’re the clinic that people find when traditional therapy hasn’t worked, and we specialize in uncovering the root causes that others have missed. We believe in equipping you with understanding. By explaining the ‘why’ behind each exercise and technique, we empower you to take charge of your health. You’ll leave each session not just feeling better, but understanding your body in a completely new way.

“Kelly & her team give incredible care with great follow-thru! Their knowledge and expertise are unmatched, which I why I often refer others in need.” – Kim K.

“I can’t begin to thank Dr. Kelly and Dr. Marissa enough! I saw Dr. Kelly through my pregnancy and completely give credit to her that my labor was so smooth! I saw both doctors postpartum. I can’t stress enough how important it is to see them through pregnancy and beyond. I am able to move pain free, and have none of the typical symptoms women experience post baby! Thank you so much for your knowledge and viewing the body as a whole, not just segments!! Moms, moms to be, and anyone struggling with pain, do yourself a favor and make the appointment!” – MaKenzie F

“Kelly loves a good puzzle! She takes the time to do a thorough assessment at each visit and isn’t satisfied with partial results! After being told by many in the medical field that things were as good as they were going to get, Kelly told me I will be able to recover and live the life I want to live again! And she is bringing me closer with each visit. Highly recommend her, even if you’ve already seen a PT somewhere else!” – Jen V.

“I’ve been dealing with low back pain on and off for 20 years. I also hold tension in my upper back, traps, neck, and jaw. Kelly is truly brilliant at what she does, she empowers you by teaching you about what is going on in your body, and gives you the tools you need to function at your best. She looks at your whole body not only the area of pain and her approach works. I’m so thankful to be in her care.” – Sarah W.
