FAQ

Do you accept health insurance?

Not directly.

How it Works

We are an out-of-network provider (traditional insurance = in-network). That means you pay us directly, you reach your goals and if you'd like we then give you a "superbill" to send to your insurance. Some people get money back depending on their plan. 

Them (in-network):

  • PT is usually not a sports-specialist (generalist/new-grad PT)

  • You split time with another patient

  • They hand you off to an untrained student aide

  • Insurance caps your visits

Us (out-of-network):

  • Every visit is 60 minutes, one on one

  • We are sports specialists

  • You pay for a real plan towards your goals - not just for visits

Here's a different question to think about: Do you want the best sports PT possible, or do you just want what your insurance covers?

Do you accept HSA/FSA?

Yes. You can pay using your HSA (Health Savings Account) or FSA (Flexible Spending Account) card.

Do you work with non-baseball/adult athletes, too?

Yes! We treat weight lifters cross fitters, and adults who want to stay active. Whether you are in high school or playing in an adult league, our sports physical therapy team in Denver helps you perform without pain.

We already tried physical therapy and it didn't work. Why would this be different?
We work with professional athletes, are board 

Do you work with baseball players who aren't currently injured?

Yes. Over half of our athletes come to us before they get hurt. We build custom arm care routines, assess your throwing form, and help you throw harder while keeping your shoulder and elbow safe.

Do you offer dry needling and myofascial decompression (cupping)?

Yes. We use dry needling, cupping, and hands-on care when you need it. These treatments help loosen tight muscles, speed up recovery, and get you back to your sport quickly.

Do you have weekend and evening appointments available?

Yes. We offer evening and weekend times from February through May at our Lakewood and Centennial locations. This makes it easy to schedule around school, practice, and games.

Will I get a home program to do on my own?

Yes. Every athlete gets a simple home exercise plan. We teach you step-by-step how to warm up, stretch, and recover on days you are not at our clinic.

Will you communicate with my team and coaches?

Yes. With your permission, we talk directly to your pitching coaches, team coaches, and athletic trainers. We make sure everyone agrees on your throwing plan, pitch counts, and game schedule.

Can you guarantee a result or velocity increase?

No doctor or physical therapist can promise exact results. But we guarantee a custom plan built just for you by former pro baseball medical staff who know how to treat throwers.

Should I stop throwing if I have pain?

Yes. If you feel sharp arm pain while throwing, stop right away - but don't ice. Here's a full explanation of why icing isn't helpful. Throwing through pain can turn a small issue into a bad UCL tear or shoulder injury. Get checked by a baseball physical therapist, and read our Baseball Arm Injury Guide to learn more.

What are the warning signs of a UCL injury?

Common warning signs include losing throwing velocity, feeling tight inside your elbow, quick arm fatigue, or losing control of your pitches. Read our UCL Injury Guide for a full list of warning signs. Read our full UCL Injury Guide to learn more.

How do I know if I need Tommy John surgery?

Only an orthopedic doctor can tell you if you need surgery after looking at an MRI. The good news is that research shows about 80% of UCL injuries heal without surgery through specialized physical therapy.

What's the difference between pain and soreness as a thrower?

Soreness feels like a dull, tight feeling across large muscles that goes away after a good warm-up. Arm pain is sharp or pinpointed in one spot - like your inner elbow or shoulder - and gets worse when you throw.
