Relieve pain. Regain movement. Restore confidence.

Physical therapy at Hurt & Co is a medical, hands-on approach to reduce pain, improve function, and help you return to the activities you love. Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or simply trying to move better, our focus is on long-term results.

Our licensed physical therapists specialize in musculoskeletal conditions and functional movement. We begin with a detailed evaluation of how your body moves to identify the underlying cause of your pain. From there, we build a personalized treatment plan that may include manual therapy, corrective exercises, and targeted mobility work.

Every treatment session is tailored to your goals, helping you regain strength, improve range of motion, and prevent future injuries.

Focused, one-on-one care

At Hurt & Co, we do things differently. You’ll never be rushed, handed off to an assistant, or sharing your session with multiple patients in a crowded room. We provide 60-minute, one-on-one appointments in private treatment rooms where your therapist’s full attention is on you.

This individualized model ensures a higher standard of care — and often, faster results.

Direct access makes it easy—no referral required

You don’t need a doctor’s prescription to begin physical therapy at Hurt & Co. As a direct access clinic, we allow you to get started right away, which saves time, money, and unnecessary appointments.

Direct access means just that—you can begin treatment at Hurt & Co Physical Therapy without the need of a doctor's referral or prescription. No extra appointments (or additional costs) required!

Many patients find that direct access reduces their overall healthcare costs by eliminating the need for an initial visit to their primary care physician. More importantly, it gets you into treatment sooner, so you can start feeling better faster.

Direct access puts your health in your hands. When pain or movement issues arise, you can take action immediately — no referrals, no waiting, just expert care when you need it most.

When I started with Jessica, I could barely use my right arm and I was in a lot of pain. And now I have full motion And I’m pain-free. I will definitely continue seeing her for any needs.

I have been to PT many times in my life and have never received the quality care that I receive from Melinda & Jess anywhere else. Also loving the new gym and not feeling like I'm fighting to claim territory during my workouts.

One stop shop. Jess the PT helped me figure out why my hip was not working and having pain! Now I can play pickleball again. Thanks Jess!! And Ryan Bentrup the LMT gets my tight shoulders to relax when I see him. Thanks Hurt and Co.

Dr Hurt has treated shoulder pain, muscle tears in my forearm, and an abdominal muscle injury with great success so she was the obvious choice of a PT for both pre hab and rehab post surgery for a ruptured ACL earlier this year. My surgeon has been impressed with my rapid recovery, regaining strength and mobility faster than is typical after my type of procedure.

In addition to receiving excellent care from Melinda, I just started working out with the personal trainer at Hurt & Co, Morgan. I usually dread going to the gym, but Morgan made me feel comfortable right from the start. And after my workouts, I recover in the amazing infrared sauna! If I could give Hurt & Co 10 stars I would!

Great gym with everything you’d need for powerlifting or general fitness. Plenty of squat racks and stands, benches, deadlfit platforms and calibrated plates with a handful of really cool machines. Have seen both Dr hurt and also Dr Jess for physical therapy as well and they have done a great job assessing my injuries and helping me get back to normal.

No matter what I do to my body, Melinda fixes me and keeps me operating pain-free. Beyond being an amazing human, she is a fantastic physical therapist. She listens intently, takes thorough notes, and keeps close tabs on how I'm progressing. I always look forward to our sessions, and I love that they're an hour long and 1:1—not in a crowded room with lots of other patients.

I see Melinda for general PT work (hips, knees, back, ankles, shoulders…I need a lot of work!!), Jess for pelvis floor PT post-surgery and Nicky for deep massage. All are amazing!! Highly recommended.

I LOVE this place. I’ve seen Jess for a few months now for tennis elbow and a badly strained quad, and I’ve healed to the point where I feel better and stronger than I did pre-injury. Can’t imagine going anywhere else for PT, plus the facility is gorgeous.
