Targeted Sports Rehab to Get You Back in the Game.

No. Under Texas Direct Access legislation, you can be evaluated and treated directly by a Doctor of Physical Therapy for up to 10–15 consecutive business days without a physician prescription. If your recovery plan requires ongoing care beyond the Direct Access window, our clinical team coordinates directly with your primary care doctor or orthopedic specialist to secure necessary documentation without you having to schedule extra doctor visits.

Apex operates on an out-of-network, fee-for-service model so our clinicians can deliver dedicated 1-on-1 care without the arbitrary treatment limits, mandatory group therapy, or rushed 15-minute visits enforced by in-network insurers. Following each appointment, we automatically provide an itemized medical Superbill with all required diagnostic (ICD-10) and treatment (CPT) codes. Most patients with PPO health plans submit these electronically and receive 50%–80% direct reimbursement according to their out-of-network benefits. You can also pay directly using HSA or FSA cards.

Your first session is conducted 100% by your board-certified Doctor of Physical Therapy. We begin with a comprehensive clinical history and movement diagnostic, conduct baseline force plate symmetry and joint mobility testing, and deliver immediate hands-on manual therapy or tissue treatment. You will leave session one with pain relief strategies, an initial home recovery routine, and a transparent milestone roadmap outlining your expected recovery timeline.

For post-operative patients (ACL reconstructions, rotator cuff repairs, labral repairs, spinal procedures), we request and review your surgeon's specific surgical notes and operative protocol prior to visit one. We conduct objective limb symmetry dynamometry at each phase transition and fax/email clinical progress summaries directly to your orthopedic surgical team before your follow-up MD consultations.

Absolutely. Over 60% of our patients are active professionals, marathon runners, CrossFitters, and recreational tennis or pickleball players. We believe everyone deserves the same caliber of diagnostic technology, 1-on-1 doctoral focus, and objective return-to-activity testing typically reserved for professional sports franchises.

Please wear comfortable athletic clothing that permits uninhibited movement and full visual inspection of the injured joint (e.g. shorts for knee/hip/ankle injuries, athletic tank or sports bra for shoulder/neck injuries). If you are undergoing a running gait analysis, please bring your primary running shoes. Also bring any relevant MRI/X-ray reports or surgeon discharge instructions.
