Why Individualized PT Matters

Breathe. Physical Therapy and Wellness was born from a desire to change the way clients received physical therapy. Disrupt the cold, uncomfortable, quick appointments people have been forced to accept, and instead, when you enter our clinic, you’ll know immediately that this is the place for you, a place unlike any other physical therapy clinic. There are no big machines or other equipment that you don’t have at home. We have our own treatment rooms so you feel at ease sharing your story (even the embarrassing stuff!) and beginning your treatment in a space that is private and comfortable. We truly listen to you, and work with you to find solutions to all your concerns, not just a one-size-fits all bandaid. You will leave each session feeling hopeful and confident with something to work on at home.

Here are a few reasons why Breathe. will get you better, faster!

We treat YOU! – Far too often whole people walk into clinics and spend an hour boiling down their entire being into 1 thing – a diagnosis. Breathe. understands that we can’t separate your knee pain, for example, from the rest of your body. Our team is specifically trained to take everything into consideration: diet, mental health, stress, medication, past medical histories, etc. Physical Therapists are considered masters of bodies but you are the master of your body. You already have the answers, we just know the right questions to ask. We will work as a team, to make progress on your goals. Our care is individualized and we take time to listen and validate whatever’s going on in your body and find a solution that makes sense and is achievable in your life.
Our unbeatable team – From top to bottom, we are certified to address your concerns! Within our physical therapy team we have a diverse group of personalities and treatment specialties, all with advanced training. Clients love seeing multiple providers for the unique approach each therapist brings to the table.
Individualized time – Our clinicians spend one-on-one time with each client for the whole duration of their session. Your time is yours and will not be spent doing exercises alone or waiting for your therapist to finish a conversation with another client. We take the time to listen to your whole story because every part of it matters. At the end of each session, you will leave with a plan of care that is uniquely tailored to your individual needs.

Breathe. is unique! Private, personalized care that celebrates your victories, big and small. We believe all women deserve to live energetic, vibrant and active lives and it’s our mission to be your partner in achieving that, by specializing in dry needling, DRA, pants peeing, pregnancy/postpartum pain and recovery, and pelvic floor dysfunction. Appointments available in Des Moines, West Des Moines and Iowa City / Cedar Rapids area. www.breatheptw.com
