Frequently Asked Questions
If you're part of the NAU community and considering physical therapy, here are answers to common questions about our approach and location.
We're located in midtown Flagstaff near Safeway on Cedar Avenue, about a 10-minute drive from campus. The address is 3859 N Paradise Rd, Flagstaff, AZ 86004. We schedule appointments during weekday daytime hours and can work with your class and work schedule.
Yes. We work with NAU students who are dealing with sports injuries, overuse issues from outdoor recreation, and post-operative rehab. We understand the demands of balancing recovery with academics and an active lifestyle, and we build plans that support both.
We are a direct-pay, cash-based clinic and do not bill insurance or student health plans directly. Many students and faculty submit receipts for possible out-of-network reimbursement. We accept cash, credit, debit, HSA, and FSA.
Most of the people we work with aren't varsity athletes. We help active students, faculty, and staff who trail run, mountain bike, ski, climb, hike, or lift and want to stay active without recurring pain or injury holding them back.
It depends on your injury, activity level, and goals. Many people notice improvements within the first few sessions. We work with you to build a progression that fits your schedule and supports long-term resilience.
