Our Whole-Body Approach
Your recovery is in good hands, ours.
Incorporating the Pilates principles of control, focus, and core integration, we take a whole body approach, addressing how your local injury or build up of chronic issues affects all of you. We are especially adept at treating patients with stubborn, chronic dysfunction that has accumulated in their bodies. Our team can uncover and address deep, subtle issues that are often missed with traditional approaches, insuring a full recovery and preventing the return of pain and injury.
After completing their treatment, our patients report more pain-free movement, increased confidence as they return to their favorite activities, and improved strength and connection throughout their entire body. They often tell us “I wish I would have found you years ago!” or “Why don’t doctors know what you do?”

Please call Paragon with any questions and information on our rates.
What can I expect at my first visit?
During your first visit, we will gather information about your injury and evaluate your body in order to determine a treatment plan. Please come in exercise clothes so the therapist can fully evaluate your injury or condition. You can expect a full comprehensive 55 minute treatment with the physical therapist.
Do you take health insurance?
In order to maintain low overhead, Paragon does not accept insurance for physical therapy. We are happy to provide patients with a coded receipt for our services that may be submitted to your insurance company. Because we are out-of-network providers, patients may or may not be reimbursed for our services or be able to apply these expenses to your deductible as that will depend on your individual plan. However, if you have a Health Savings Account or Flex Benefits, you can use that for your payment.
Regarding Medicare clients, Paragon is able to treat physical therapy patients who are Medicare beneficiaries for whole-body wellness and preventative care (i.e. strength building, maintenance, wellness, etc.). Patients who are covered by Medicare may receive physical therapy care if their injury is not considered acute. Please call Paragon for more specific information.
