Beyond Limitations

Brenda is great. I agree with John V. on that point.
Yet my experience was a tad different from his. Not bad or anything — just different. I’ll explain.
I was treated very, very well, especially since I was a referral from John V. Brenda was very professional, thorough and attentive. My first visit was the standard consultation, though she took extra time to evaluate my needs and recommend a treatment plan. I went in to see about preventing migraines. She not only addressed that issue, but others as well. She said she’d work with me on my body alignment and neck tension, too. Awesome! For that, I was grateful. She knows her stuff!
She can be a tad hard to reach, but she always returns phone calls. I did notice that she gets a bit «sales-​y» on the phone. She shouldn’t try so hard. I’m smart. I believe in her therapy. I was sold based on John’s recommendation. Yet, in one voice message, she told me to consider cutting down on my entertainment expenses so that I could put my body’s health as a priority. I understand how she wants to get clients and help them — she has a genuine passion for this — but that sort of thing offended me. Honestly. I’m very much aware of my expenses, and if I didn’t have to already pay my student, credit and medical loans, I would have definitely considered being on a payment plan that allowed me to get the treatment I wanted.
Unfortunately, she doesn’t accept my insurance (Humana), so that presented a problem. Brenda was more than willing to work with me on a payment plan. But, my financial situation didn’t allow for me to devote myself to a 3x weekly visits at $ 125 each, which is the out-​of-​pocket cost per session. Ouch.
Let’s see…
3 x 125 = $ 375! That’s a helluva lot of money. Yes, my health is worth it, but I wish I could have used my insurance here. That became a make-​or-​break factor. (Besides, I don’t even spend $ 375 a month on fun things, let alone spend that in a single week on «entertainment.»)
375×4 = $ 1500 a month… Wow. There’s absolutely no way I can afford all that out of pocket. Too bad. Because I would have stuck w/​the program, as recommended, until I was coming to see her once a month and doing stretches and exercises on my own, at home. She’s very good at showing you exercises that’ll benefit your overall health.
I got to be honest. After my appointment with her, I felt energized. Later that night, I realized the hour I spent with her took so much out of my body. I guess I had been holding onto alot of «toxins» and tension. I crashed. Too bad. That was the night Donald Glaude and DJ Dan played Mist. If anything, though, it showed me how effective her sessions can be, which made me really want to stick with the program. Arrgh. If only money wasn’t an issue!
So, here’s the bottom line:
If you have the right insurance or can afford treatment, GO! You won’t be sorry. After all, it’s your health we’re talking about here. Brenda is really great. Like John said, she combines physical therapy with a holistic style. Plus, she’s certified to address ergonomic issues, too, which can often lead to people’s problems, if not corrected. She even does company consultations to examine employee workstations.
Parting thoughts:
You may need to get a referral notice from your doctor. I did. My doc had no problem referring me to the PT I wanted to see. But, you may want to check with your Doc before you go. Oh! And give Brenda a call to see if she takes your insurance! It just may be your deciding factor, too.

so when can physical therapy correct the mind as well as body? At Beyond Limitations, the focus is on both, and it truly works. I had a nagging injury from working on computers for the last 9 years, (as I write this I feel pain) Lately it has gotten worse, so my doctor recommended PT. In doing so I just happen to stumble upon Beyond Limitations as it takes my insurance. All I can say is Brenda (sole owner and proprietor) knows her PT! She is certified and highly trained in many techniques. She also has a great understanding of the physiology of the body, and the over powering ability of the mind to effect our body. The PT we do is a mix of massage, stretching, resistance work, ultrasound, and a lot of pressure based movements. Overall I leave feeling great, and very relaxed. It is cool to have someone to work with that is motivational, understanding, and focuses time on her patients. She is a private owner, and will spend the time with her patients individually. There is no sense of a clock ticking, it seems as if Brenda works to schedule so she has additional time with you if needed. Now I haven’t gotten a bill yet from my insurance, but there is a co-​pay, and she seems to know how to work with the insurance companies to make it painless when you get that final bill. I know how complex insurance can be, and how they fight every last medical treatment to make a profit. However, Brenda seems to know how to play «the game». Her prices are great, and her service is superb. The location is clean, easy to get to, and inviting. I think if anyone asked me about PT, I would recommend Beyond Limitations without a doubt. It is just a superb place to go for physical therapy.
