Frequently asked questions.

  • Performance physical therapy is a hybrid training model which allows us to treat you as a whole person in any way you need. We are cash based which eliminates all insurance restrictions on the amount or type of care you may require. This allows us to take a holistic approach in our treatment methods. No matter what sports or hobbies you enjoy, we can tailor our treatment specific to your needs.

    Through our performance PT model we will get you out of pain and help you stay that way long term. We believe at our core that movement is the best medicine so we will take an active approach to your treatment to keep you active.

  • We are the best in Sonoma County. Simple as that.

    You will not find another clinic that provides this level of care, 1 on 1, with one hour sessions and your goals at the epicenter.

    Our goal is to give you the confidence to reach your own goals, with us there to facilitate that in any way we can.

  • At an insurance based clinic, a physical therapy session may include a few minutes with the PT, some exercises with support staff and some passive modalities. While passive modalities might feel good, they will not fix you.

    At BaseCamp, your session will be spent actually addressing your root problem and helping to fix it through exercise, education and other techniques.

    We do not use passive modalities or aides in your care because your time is valuable and should be spent making lasting change toward fixing your problems, not just temporary fixes.

  • Most insurances do not cover musculoskeletal wellness or injury prevention sessions performed by physical therapists. However those services are so incredibly important.

    At BaseCamp, we are an active group who love being outdoors and as a whole have played almost every sport out there and understand your passion for them. It is much less expensive to prevent an injury through proper mobility and training than rehab one after it occurs. We offer wellness, maintenance and injury prevention to keep you happy, healthy and moving.

  • No, BaseCamp is out of network with all health insurances. You can still use your out of network benefits to submit a claim to your insurance and they will reimburse you directly based on their rates.

  • Research says NO! Cash based PT has demonstrated it requires less sessions to meet your goals, get you out of pain and get you moving better so overall the total cost ends up reduced to insurance based clinics! Twice a week for 8 weeks is not the right prescription for everyone! Of course, this will vary depending on your out of network coverage.

  • Cash based physical therapy has actually been shown to cost patients less versus going through insurance. We provide only one-on-one treatment sessions for 60-minutes each visit. These one-on-one treatments may include exercise prescription, objective strength testing, cupping, joint mobilizations and other techniques with the entirety of the session involving a hands on approach.

    Many other clinics have their physical therapists seeing 4-5 patients per hour, vastly limiting any hands-on time. The sessions may be spent with a rehab aide training you on how to perform the same cookie-cutter exercises with no individualization and minimal results. They will try and book you 2-3 times per week for 8-10 weeks and still have lower patient satisfaction rates and worse outcomes toward pain relief and functional activity tolerance.

    BaseCamp will require less overall sessions to meet your goals than traditional insurance PT because of the increased time spent on your care. Come experience what physical therapy is really like with individualized, genuine, one-on-one care from a Doctor of Physical Therapy.
