Comparison chart showing the advantages of self-pay over insurance for medical care, with a yellow and gray background and the words "Strike Physio" in the middle. The self-pay side highlights benefits like one-on-one care, 60 minutes guaranteed, customized rehab plans, no insurance hassles, and progress to higher level functioning. The insurance side lists drawbacks such as shared with aides/techs, rushed visits, generic care plans, paperwork delays, and stopping at "good enough."

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Do I need to be involved in sports, martial arts, or combat sports to be seen?
A: Not at all! While we specialize in helping athletes, martial artists, and fighters, we work with people of all backgrounds and activity levels—anyone who wants to move better, feel stronger, and live without pain. Whether you’re an athlete or just want to improve your quality of life, we’re here to help.

Q: What does the consultation include?
A: The consultation is a focused conversation to understand your goals, discuss any concerns or questions you have, and determine if our services are the right fit for you. It’s the first step to building a personalized plan that works for your needs.

Q: Why should I pay out-of-pocket when I already have insurance?
A: Insurance often limits the number of visits and only covers therapy until you’re “pain-free,” not necessarily fully recovered. With self-pay therapy, you get customized care that goes beyond pain relief — so you can return to your favorite activities, sports, and lifestyle safely and confidently.

Q: Isn’t self-pay physical therapy more expensive?
A: It can seem that way at first, but you often need fewer visits to achieve your goals because of the focused, one-on-one care. Plus, there are no surprise bills, deductibles, or hidden fees — you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for from the start.

Q: What’s the biggest benefit of self-pay therapy?
A: Quality and results. You’ll get one-on-one time with a highly skilled therapist who tailors every session to your specific needs — no rushed visits or cookie-cutter exercises. That means faster progress and lasting results.

Q: Do you offer a personalized rehab program?
A: Yes! Every client receives a custom rehab plan designed specifically for their goals, lifestyle, and recovery needs. We don’t follow generic insurance protocols — we treat you, not just your diagnosis.

Q: Can I still use my insurance?
A: We’re out-of-network for most insurance plans, but we can provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Check with your plan to see if they offer out-of-network coverage.

Q: How soon can I get started?
A: Right away! Since we’re not restricted by insurance approvals, we can get you scheduled as soon as possible — no paperwork delays, no waiting for authorizations.

Q: What kinds of problems do you treat?
A: We specialize in helping clients get out of pain and regain full function — whether it’s a sports injury, post-surgical rehab, chronic pain, or just wanting to move better and stay active.

Q: Where do sessions take place?
A: We provide therapy in a comfortable, private setting — no crowded gyms or shared treatment spaces. You get our full attention every time.

Q: How many sessions will I need?
A: It depends on your goals and condition, but most clients see faster progress because of the personalized care and focused attention. We’ll discuss a plan together at your initial evaluation.
