Physical Therapist | Strength Coach
Every patient is different, which means treatment plans may include a combination of hands-on care, progressive strengthening, movement retraining, and individualized strategies designed around your goals and activity level.
Your treatment plan is designed around improving movement quality, strength, mobility, and long-term resilience—not simply reducing symptoms temporarily.
Movement quality and mechanics are addressed through targeted coaching, corrective exercise, and progressive loading strategies.
Ascent Health & Performance is in-network with several major insurance providers and also offers straightforward cash options for patients without coverage or high deductibles. Our goal is to make it easier to get the care you need without unnecessary confusion or pressure.
Insurance benefits vary by plan. Our team can help verify your coverage and explain what to expect before your first visit.
For patients without insurance coverage—or those choosing a simpler, direct-pay option—our cash-based physical therapy focuses on one-on-one care, progressive rehabilitation, and long-term results without surprise billing or unnecessary visits.
Comprehensive movement assessment, strength and mobility testing, hands-on treatment when appropriate, and personalized recommendations designed around your goals.
Full 60-minute treatment sessions focused on movement retraining, progressive strengthening, and helping you continue moving toward your goals.

As symptoms improve, many patients choose to transition from physical therapy into one-on-one training and movement coaching with Dr. Shreena to continue building strength, resilience, and long-term performance.
Your first visit is designed to understand your goals, movement patterns, and what may be limiting your progress—not simply identify a symptom. Every appointment begins with conversation and assessment so we can create a plan focused on helping you move better, recover fully, and build long-term confidence.
Answers Before Your First VisitLearn more about what to expect at Ascent Health & Performance, including care options, insurance questions, and how we help active Alaskans stay strong.
Do I need a referral to start physical therapy?+No. Most patients can begin care without a referral. If additional imaging, specialist involvement, or coordination with another provider would be helpful, we'll guide you through the process.
How is physical therapy different from chiropractic care?+Physical therapy at Ascent focuses heavily on movement quality, progressive strengthening, rehabilitation, and building long-term function. Chiropractic care often focuses more on restoring motion, reducing pain, and addressing movement restrictions. Our providers collaborate closely, and many patients benefit from a combination of both depending on their goals.
What should I wear to my appointment?+Wear comfortable clothing you can move in. Athletic clothing and clean gym shoes are ideal, especially if movement testing or exercise is expected.
How many visits will I need?+Every patient is different. Some people improve quickly in just a few visits, while others recovering from surgery or chronic injuries may benefit from a longer progression. Your goals, activity level, and condition all help determine recommendations.
Will I get exercises to do at home?+Yes. Home exercises are individualized and designed to reinforce what you're doing in the clinic. The goal isn't to overwhelm you with dozens of exercises—it's to give you high-value strategies that keep you progressing between visits.
Do you treat athletes only?+Not at all. We work with active adults, desk workers, weekend warriors, post-surgical patients, and athletes of all levels. Whether your goal is hiking in Alaska, lifting weights, or simply moving through daily life more comfortably, care is tailored to you.
Can I transition from physical therapy into personal training?+Yes. Many patients continue progressing after rehab through one-on-one coaching or training. The goal is helping you maintain momentum and continue building strength, confidence, and resilience long after symptoms improve.
Do you accept insurance?+We currently accept Premera BCBS and Aetna. Cash-based options and superbills are also available for patients who prefer direct-pay care.
