What Is Physical Therapy? (Hint: It's Not Just for Injuries!)
When you think of “physical therapy,” you may think about someone recovering from surgery or rehabilitating after an injury. That’s part of it — but not all of it. Do you have frequent migraines, jaw pain, tight hips, or achy shoulders? What about plantar fasciitis or carpal tunnel syndrome? Do you have trouble making it to the restroom before you pee, or are uncomfortable symptoms the norm during your pregnancy? Physical therapy can help with all of that — and more. (Hint, we can even help the men in your life!) At Breathe., our physical therapists work with women (and men!) of all ages and all activity levels. We take an integrative, holistic approach to helping you reach your health goals. From head to toe, we don’t want you to settle for your pain being normal. We believe every woman deserves to live an active, vibrant lifestyle that is pain-free.

Our Approach to Physical Therapy: Integrative, Empathetic, Restorative
Whether you visit our West Des Moines office or our North Liberty location, you’ll find a staff full of friendly, caring people who want to support you.
We’re all licensed doctors in physical therapy, but we don’t want you to feel like you’re at the doctor’s office. Instead, we’ve created a warm, welcoming atmosphere where you can meet one-on-one with a physical therapist and receive quality, confidential care. Our award-winning physical therapy staff are psychologically trained and trauma-informed. That means we want you to feel welcome and at ease at our clinic, and our treatments will take the whole you into account — not just your symptoms. We use a combination of techniques including manual (hands-on) therapy, therapeutic exercises, trigger point dry needling, and more!
Frequently Asked Questions About Physical Therapy
Do I Need a Doctor's Referral to Receive Physical Therapy?
No! If something hurts, you can confidently call us first. Our expert physical therapists are doctors and are trained to screen you to determine if your issue is something we can help you with before you need expensive and often unnecessary tests or imaging.
Is Physical Therapy Covered by Insurance?
Breathe. is an in-network provider for Blue Cross Blue Shield and Midlands Choice health insurance. Our team also accepts flexible spending account (FSA) and health savings account (HSA) cards. Even if your care is not covered by your insurance provider, many are paying on a deductible and would be paying out of pocket in other locations. The one-on-one care and compassionate resolution of your issue you’ll receive from your PTs at Breathe. are unmatched, and the value you’ll receive is worth the investment. If you have specific questions about our rates, please give us a call!
What Should I Expect During My Appointment?
When you walk into Breathe., you’ll find a calm, spa-like atmosphere. You’ll meet one-on-one with a physical therapist who will listen to your issues and perform any initial assessments. Then, we’ll put together a full treatment plan to get you back on track.
