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

Saw Jessica Clark for pelvic floor PT- she's incredible! Learned more in a few months from her than I have in my whole life, things that will help strengthen my body through my 40s and beyond.

After 4 months of treatment and a home exercise and walking program, I am totally pain free for the first time in 10 years. I could not have achieved a pain free life without Melinda’s motivation and deep knowledge in her field. Melinda developed a therapy plan and continuously pushed me forward on the road to recovery. She developed a personalized and robust home exercise plan, which included both walking goals and exercises. I went from walking 5 minutes with a walker in my driveway, to 30 minutes within 4 months.

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.

I LOVE this place. I’ve seen Jess for a few months now for tennis elbow and a badly strained quad, and I’ve healed to the point where I feel better and stronger than I did pre-injury. Can’t imagine going anywhere else for PT, plus the facility is gorgeous.

When I started with Jessica, I could barely use my right arm and I was in a lot of pain. And now I have full motion And I’m pain-free. I will definitely continue seeing her for any needs.

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.

No matter what I do to my body, Melinda fixes me and keeps me operating pain-free. Beyond being an amazing human, she is a fantastic physical therapist. She listens intently, takes thorough notes, and keeps close tabs on how I'm progressing. I always look forward to our sessions, and I love that they're an hour long and 1:1—not in a crowded room with lots of other patients.

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!

I have worked with many PT’s over the years to address chronic pain and Melinda is bar none the best! I have entered her office in abject pain and left filled with relief and hope. She’s that good!

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!
