Frequently Asked Questions About Performance Physical Therapy
What makes Active Pursuit Physical Therapy different from other physical therapy clinics?
Active Pursuit Physical Therapy is a performance-based physical therapy practice focused on helping active adults, athletes, and golfers return to training and sport stronger—not just pain-free. All sessions are one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy and integrate movement assessment, manual therapy, strength training, and sport-specific programming rather than passive treatments alone.
Do I need to be injured to work with a physical therapist?
No. Many clients work with us to improve movement quality, build strength, prevent injury, and enhance performance. Performance physical therapy is appropriate for anyone who wants to move better, train consistently, and reduce the risk of future injuries.
Do you work with golfers and sport-specific injuries?
Yes. We specialize in working with golfers and athletes who want a sport-specific approach to rehabilitation and performance. Programming is based on the physical demands of the sport and includes mobility, strength, and movement training relevant to returning to play.
How is performance physical therapy different from traditional physical therapy?
Performance physical therapy focuses on restoring physical capacity for real-world and sport demands, not just reducing symptoms. Treatment emphasizes strength, movement quality, progressive loading, and use of advanced rehab technologies so clients can return to activity with confidence and resilience.
Where are you located and who do you serve?
Active Pursuit Physical Therapy is located in Westhampton Beach, NY and serves active adults and athletes throughout the Hamptons and surrounding areas.
Do you accept insurance?
Active Pursuit Physical Therapy is an out-of-network, cash-based physical therapy practice. This allows us to provide one-on-one sessions with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, longer appointment times, and a performance-focused approach without the limitations often imposed by insurance-based care. Our priority is doing what is best for each of our patients to reach their goals, not what their insurance company thinks is best (believe me, it’s not).
Many clients are able to submit receipts to their insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement, depending on their plan. We are happy to help guide you through that process.
Is cash-based physical therapy worth it?
Cash-based physical therapy allows for individualized, one-on-one care and a focus on long-term outcomes rather than visit limits. For active adults and athletes who value performance, movement quality, and efficiency, this model often provides greater value than traditional insurance-based care.
