Relieve pain. Regain movement. Restore confidence.

Physical therapy at Hurt & Co is a medical, hands-on approach to reduce pain, improve function, and help you return to the activities you love. Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or simply trying to move better, our focus is on long-term results.

Our licensed physical therapists specialize in musculoskeletal conditions and functional movement. We begin with a detailed evaluation of how our body moves to identify the underlying cause of your pain. From there, we build a personalized treatment plan that may include manual therapy, corrected exercises, and targeted mobility work.

Every treatment session is tailored to your goals, helping you regain strength, improve range of motion, and prevent future injuries.

Focused, one-on-one care

At Hurt & Co, we do things differently. You’ll never be rushed, handed off to an assistant, or sharing your session with multiple patients in a crowded room. We provide 60-minute, one-on-one appointments in private treatment rooms where your therapist’s full attention is on you.

This individualized model ensures a higher standard of care — and often, faster results.

Direct access makes it easy—no referral required

You don’t need a doctor’s prescription to begin physical therapy at Hurt & Co. As a direct access clinic, we allow you to get started right away, which saves time, money, and unnecessary appointments.

Direct access means just that—you can begin treatment at Hurt & Co Physical Therapy without the need of a doctor's referral or prescription. No extra appointments (or additional costs) required!

Many patients find that direct access reduces their overall healthcare costs by eliminating the need for an initial visit to their primary care physician. More importantly, it gets you into treatment sooner, so you can start feeling better faster.

Direct access puts your health in your hands. When pain or movement issues arise, you can take action immediately — no referrals, no waiting, just expert care when you need it most.

What our physical therapy clients are saying

Jessica Clark provides professional and knowledgeable treatment of pelvic floor issues. She puts her client at ease; explains all aspects of the procedure and engages in concerned follow up. I wish I had had the benefit of the information she provided in our session 50 years ago!! I HIGHLY recommend this physical therapy practice.

I have been to physical therapy for various injuries over the last 40 years. Many of these facilities have one physical therapist working with 4-6 clients at the same time. At Hurt & Co, you are one-on-one with your physical therapist. My therapist was Kim Viola, who was phenomenal.

In addition to receiving excellent care from Melinda, I just started working out with the personal trainer at Hurt & Co, Morgan. I usually dread going to the gym, but Morgan made me feel comfortable right from the start. And after my workouts, I recover in the amazing infrared sauna! If I could give Hurt & Co 10 stars I would!

My therapist Kim was amazing, her hour long appts were always tailored to what I needed week to week, as well as the homework she gave me to complete in between sessions. She was knowledgeable, approachable, and extremely personable. I would not hesitate to go back to them for any therapy needs in the future.

I struggled with a variety of digestive and bladder issue. I love to travel, but needing frequent bathroom stops made it challenging. Jessica helped me strengthen my pelvic floor muscles, so now I have tools. And, I feel so much better!

Melinda and the Hurt and Co team are the only ones that were able to fix my pain from a herniated disk after almost two years of doctors telling me that I just had to sit and wait. Dr Hurt was amazing and kind. Would never go anywhere else.

One stop shop. Jess the PT helped me figure out why my hip was not working and having pain! Now I can play pickleball again. Thanks Jess!! And Ryan Bentrup the LMT gets my tight shoulders to relax when I see him. Thanks Hurt and Co.

Great gym with everything you’d need for powerlifting or general fitness. Plenty of squat racks and stands, benches, deadlfit platforms and calibrated plates with a handful of really cool machines. Have seen both Dr hurt and also Dr Jess for physical therapy as well and they have done a great job assessing my injuries and helping me get back to normal.

I have been to PT many times in my life and have never received the quality care that I receive from Melinda & Jess anywhere else. Also loving the new gym and not feeling like I'm fighting to claim territory during my workouts.

I saw Jessica Clark for pelvic floor therapy. Jess is so approachable and kind. She is thorough both in her work and in her explanations of what she is working on, and what you need to do to keep that work going. [...] If you are looking to work on pelvic issues and want to feel comfortable with someone you will quickly know on an intimate basis then you have found the right place!
