If you’ve ever left a physical therapy appointment feeling rushed, confused, or like just another number on a schedule, you’re not alone. Unfortunately, that’s the experience many people have with traditional, in-network physical therapy clinics.

At Natural Wellness Physiotherapy, we believe there’s a better way. Our performance-based, one-on-one care model is designed to get you stronger, faster, and more resilient—without wasting your time or settling for short-term relief.

So what exactly makes us different? Let’s break it down.

What Most People Think Physical Therapy Is

For many, physical therapy means:

• Being shuffled between multiple therapists or assistants
• Getting 15 minutes of actual hands-on time
• Performing generic exercises you could do at home
• Needing 3 visits a week for months on end
• Letting insurance dictate what kind of care you receive

This kind of experience isn’t just frustrating—it often leads to slow progress, lingering pain, and unnecessary costs.

What Performance Physical Therapy Really Means

At Natural Wellness Physiotherapy, our focus is performance physical therapy—meaning every session is intentional, goal-driven, and tailored to your lifestyle and activity level.

Here’s what you can expect:

• One-on-one sessions with a Doctor of Physical Therapy
• Full 60-minute appointments (no double-booking)
• A treatment plan built around your goals, not insurance codes
• Hands-on therapy, personalized strength work, and movement re-education
• A clear plan that evolves as you progress

Whether you’re a runner training for your next 10K, a busy mom trying to stay active, or an office worker dealing with chronic back pain, our approach adapts to you.

The Cash-Based Physical Therapy Clinic Difference

We’re often asked: “Why don’t you take insurance?”

Here’s the truth—insurance-based care often limits what we can do for you. When your treatment is dictated by what insurance companies will cover, the result is a watered-down version of what physical therapy could be.

By operating as a cash-based practice, we’re able to:

• Spend more time with you
• Provide more hands-on care and advanced treatments (like dry needling)
• Progress your care based on results—not red tape

And in many cases, our patients get better in fewer visits than they would at a traditional clinic, making it a better investment long-term.

Who Benefits from This Model?

The truth? Just about everyone. But performance physical therapy is especially effective for:

• Athletes returning from injury or wanting to improve performance
• Runners managing recurring pain or training for a race
• Busy professionals with chronic pain or movement restrictions
• Active moms and dads who want to keep up with their kids without hurting
• Weekend warriors who train hard but want to stay pain-free

If you’re motivated to feel better and move better, this is for you.

Real Results from Real Wichita Patients

Allison is INCREDIBLE!! I started seeing her for pain in my SI joint with walking and hiking. Within a few weeks, the pain was gone! I hiked 10 miles to a state high point without pain! I later injured my shoulder and had pain/numbness down my arm with certain activities. That has completely resolved as well. She is patient, listens, and explains the anatomy and injury in a way that makes the recovery and exercises make sense. She has made me feel 10 years younger and capable to do exercises I did not think were possible. Allison is well respected in the medical community as well. As a Physician Assistant, many of my colleagues see her and refer to her as well. Make an appointment and you will not regret it!

We’ve helped hundreds of active adults in Wichita and the surrounding area bounce back from injury, crush their goals, and stay out of pain. Our personalized care model consistently delivers results that traditional clinics can’t match.

The Bottom Line

You deserve physical therapy that treats you—not just your insurance coverage.

If you’re tired of quick fixes, generic exercises, or feeling like a number, it’s time to try something different. At Natural Wellness Physiotherapy, we give you the time, attention, and expertise you need to get back to doing what you love.
