About Onsight PT
Thoughtful Physical Therapy for Performance, Recovery, and Long-Term Health
Onsight PT was founded to provide individualized, evidence-based physical therapy and performance training for climbers and active individuals who want more than a generic, insurance-driven clinic experience.
​
We believe physical therapy should address how you move, how you load your body, and how your activities and goals shape recovery. Our care is built around thoughtful assessment, appropriate progression, and real-world application, whether that means returning to climbing, recovering from surgery, or building strength with confidence.
Our Approach
Care Designed Around You, Not Insurance Limitations
At Onsight PT, every session is one-on-one with a licensed physical therapist. We do not double book appointments or rely on cookie-cutter protocols. Instead, we take the time to understand your injury history, movement patterns, training demands, and long-term goals.
Our approach emphasizes:
-
Movement quality and efficiency
-
Proper loading and progression
-
Injury prevention and resilience
-
Clear communication and education
We don’t just treat symptoms. We help you understand what’s happening in your body and how to move forward safely and effectively.
Our Mission
Helping You Move Better, Stronger, and With Confidence
Our mission is to support sustainable movement and performance through ethical, patient-centered care.
We believe in:
-
Evidence-based decision making
-
Honest conversations about recovery timelines
-
Respect for tissue healing and load tolerance
-
Collaboration with other healthcare providers when appropriate
​
We value long-term outcomes over quick fixes and aim to empower our clients with the knowledge and tools they need to stay active beyond the clinic.
