Physical Therapy – The Nick Rinard Method
Physical Therapy Built Around Your Response
At Nick Rinard Physical Therapy, treatment begins by understanding how your symptoms respond to movement. Your therapist uses those findings to guide treatment, teach you what you can do independently, and progress you back toward the activities that matter to you.
A focused, patient-involved approach
Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all routine, your evaluation helps identify which movements, positions, and treatment strategies are most useful for your presentation.
Assess
We look at your symptoms, movement, function, and how your condition responds to specific movements and positions.
Treat
Treatment is selected based on the findings from your evaluation and what improves your symptoms, movement, or function.
Self-Manage
You learn what to do between visits so you can take an active role in your recovery and carry useful strategies into daily life.
Understand what you are doing and why
A major part of treatment is helping you recognize what affects your symptoms and giving you practical strategies you can use outside the clinic.
The goal is not simply to perform exercises during an appointment. It is to build a plan that can be adjusted as your symptoms and function change.

Dr. Maniza Aziz Johnson
I have had excellent treatment at your clinic. I wish more physical therapists employed your modality and accepted Medicare with the Medicare Gap plans. I have the most expensive Mutual of Omaha, F plan . I was told it is accepted everywhere. I am sorry you do not accept Medicare patients. I could have paid you beyond the Medicare and the Mutual of Omaha payments I recently retired my insurance cost me $1000.00.
Thank you for being the best.
