This isn't rehab.
This is performance therapy.

Because insurance would decide how we treat you — and we're not willing to hand that over.

When a clinic bills insurance, the insurer sets the terms: how many visits you get approved for, what qualifies as "medically necessary," and when you're considered done. To stay profitable under those reimbursement rates, most clinics have to see several patients at once, which is why you end up doing exercises with a tech while your therapist works with someone else.

Going cash-based removes all of that. You get one-on-one time with your doctor for your full session. We treat what actually needs treating. And you're discharged when you're performing — not when a reimbursement code says the episode is over.

Often it's the opposite — and it surprises people.

With a high-deductible plan, you're frequently paying the full contracted rate out of pocket anyway until that deductible is met. Add a copay per visit, and a course of care spread across many short appointments adds up fast.

Our sessions are longer and there are fewer of them, because we're treating the root cause instead of managing a symptom across a dozen 15-minute slots. Fewer visits, real progress in each one. Most people spend less overall and get further.

Yes. Physical therapy is a qualified medical expense, so your HSA or FSA card works here just like it would anywhere else. Bring it and we'll run it directly.

Possibly — it depends on your plan.

We provide a superbill after your visits: an itemized receipt with the diagnosis and treatment codes your insurer needs. If your plan includes out-of-network benefits, you submit it directly and they reimburse you according to your coverage.

Not sure whether your plan has out-of-network benefits? Call the number on the back of your card and ask specifically about outpatient physical therapy. We're happy to walk you through what to ask.

Louisiana has direct access for physical therapy, so in most cases you can come straight to us without a physician referral.

There are some limits on how long we can treat under direct access before a referral is needed, and certain situations call for physician involvement sooner. We'll tell you clearly if that applies to you — and if something we find during your assessment needs a different specialist, we'll say so and help you get there.

A full evaluation with Dr. Laughlin — not paperwork and a handoff.

We go through your history, what you're feeling, and what you're trying to get back to. Then we assess how you actually move, because where it hurts and why it hurts are usually two different places. You'll leave the first visit understanding what's going on and what the plan is.

Most people also start treatment that same day. We don't schedule an assessment just to book you for treatment later.

No. The name says performance, but performance means something different for everyone.

We treat competitive athletes, weekend lifters, professionals whose backs give out at their desk, parents who want to keep up with their kids, and people rehabbing after surgery. The standard is the same regardless: get you moving well, not just hurting less.

Even better. That's the entire reason this exists under the same roof as our training floor.

If you train at MKSPT, Dr. Laughlin and your strength coach coordinate directly. No conflicting instructions, no guessing about what you should be avoiding, no starting from zero when you're cleared. Your program adapts around what we're treating and progresses as you recover.

Training somewhere else is fine too — we'll give you clear guidance you can hand to your coach.
