What Our Patients Are Saying

We take pride in the impact we make on our patients’ lives.

Here's what some of them have to say about their experience:

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

“I had a great experience working with Ryan Hunsicker. His personalized, one on one approach made a huge difference in my recovery. Ryan takes the time to really understand what’s going on and builds a plan that works. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for knowledgeable and attentive physical therapy.”

Jason Z.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

“As a retired first responder, my career took a serious toll on my body. Over the years I suffered multiple knee injuries that resulted in two ACL reconstructions and five separate orthopedic surgeries on the same knee. I also sustained a lower back injury that left me with three bulging discs. Fortunately, I made it to retirement, but a few years later my mobility began to decline significantly due to severe knee arthritis that would eventually require a full knee replacement. I am incredibly grateful to Ryan Huntsicker, DPT for helping me reach my knee recovery goals. Today I am more active than I have been in years. My knee surgeon stated my knee replacement is in the 90 th percentile of patients. My spinal recovery will continue over the next several months, but thanks to his expertise and dedication, I am extremely optimistic that the final outcome will match the success of my knee replacement and that I will regain a high level of mobility with little to no pain. If you are looking for a physical therapist who can manage complex cases with knowledge, precision, and genuine dedication to patient outcomes, I cannot recommend Ryan Huntsicker, DPT highly enough.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most common questions patients ask.

If you don’t find the answer you need, feel free to contact us!

Why doesn't Alpha Physical Therapy take insurance?

Insurance typically only covers care that restores basic function—the minimum needed for daily living—not the activities you enjoy like golf, running, or staying highly active. It also focuses only on the current injury, while we address your pre-injury, current condition, and long-term goals. We believe your time and money matter—whether that means preventing injuries, keeping athletes on the field, or helping you perform at your best—and we do it with no surprise bills.

Alpha Physical Therapy clients want more than “basic.” They want:

- Peak performance

- Injury prevention

- Strength and conditioning

- Return to high-level sport

- Solutions for complex or multiple injuries

- Improved quality of life beyond insurance limits

Insurance often creates barriers like:

- Limited session times

- Restrictions on treatment scope

- “Medical necessity” requirements

- Denials for prevention or performance care

- Pressure for early discharge

As a private pay practice, we can:

- Treat the whole person—not just one injury

- Spend more time with each client

- Build long-term performance plans

- Address complex and cumulative injuries

- Focus on prevention, not just recovery

- Integrate elite coaching with physical therapy

- Offer transparent pricing with no surprise costs

What payments do you accept?

Alpha Performance Therapy accepts the following payments:

- Cash

- Checks

- Venmo

- Zelle (Coming Soon)

- Credit/Debit (Coming soon)

- HSA/FSA payments (Coming soon)

Note: Superbills (coded receipts) can be provided for clients to submit to their insurance for potential reimbursement

What to expect?

A thorough and comprehensive evaluation addressing all needs and all pre-existing conditions that is 100% 1-on-1 time with a Doctorate of Physical Therapy. Services will be a combination of what is needed, manual therapy, exercise, lifestyle coaching, stretching, biomechanics, and activity/goal specific training that fits your time and budget. The plan will be comprehensive on what you need and your independence. Not what traditional models call for 2-3x a week, multiple co-pays, wasted time driving/waiting rooms/being passed on to support staff.
