Pain and Injury Shouldn't Hold You Back
Stuck in Recovery
You're dealing with persistent pain or limited mobility from an injury, surgery, or chronic condition—and you're ready to move forward.
Quick Fixes Don't Last
You've tried treatments that only address symptoms, not the root cause—and you're tired of temporary relief that doesn't last.
Lost Independence
You can't do the activities you love—running, playing sports, keeping up with your family—and it's affecting your quality of life.
Deeply Personalized Care That Empowers You
What sets Bend Movement apart is our deeply personalized approach. You'll spend direct one-on-one time with Dr. Ben throughout each and every visit—no aides, no rushing, just focused attention on your unique needs.
We take an individualized approach to each person, addressing not just your symptoms but the underlying cause. Ben lives by the philosophy of continuous self-improvement—striving to be just a little better every day—and brings that same mindset to empowering you with the tools and knowledge to take control of your own health.
Our cash-based model means your care is never dictated by insurance companies. You receive the personalized treatment you deserve.
- Work one-on-one with Dr. Ben every session
- Address the root cause, not just symptoms
- Gain the tools to stay pain-free for the long term
"I've done PT at several different places and think this is my favorite as far as effectiveness. Ben carefully examined my foot and ankle and prescribed a set of exercises specifically designed to strengthen that area. After I left, I was able to access on-line videos of Ben clearly demonstrating how to do each exercise correctly. I would definitely recommend Bend Movement Physical Therapy."

What Our Patients Are Saying
"Dr. Ben is excellent. It was easy to ask him questions and it always felt like he understood my goals. He helped me feel more knowledgeable about my ankle recovery and all the different things I can do to make it stronger. I gained a lot of confidence in my ankle from going to our sessions and doing the exercises at home. Thank you Ben!!!!"
