Question 1

Do I need a doctor’s referral to see you?

Accepted Answer

Nope! In Florida, you can see a physical therapist directly without a physician referral for up to 30 days. After that, if you still need care, we’ll help you connect with the right provider to extend treatment if necessary.

Question 2

What is cash-based physical therapy?

Accepted Answer

Cash-based PT means you pay a flat fee to your therapist directly at the time of service. This model prioritizes quality, one-on-one care, and faster progress, rather than allowing insurance to dictate the number, type, or length of your visits.

Since we are a cash-based clinic, we do not contract with any insurance companies. This allows us to provide longer one-on-one sessions, customized treatment, and a plan that’s built around your goals—not what insurance dictates. Many clients use their HSA/FSA funds for services without a hitch!

Question 3

Can I submit for insurance reimbursement?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We can provide a superbill (a detailed receipt with treatment codes) that you can submit to your insurance company. Reimbursement at that point is completely dependent on your plan’s out-of-network benefits.

Question 4

What types of clients do you work with?

Accepted Answer

We specialize in athletes and active individuals—whether that’s CrossFit, jiu-jitsu, running, weightlifting, or weekend warriors. Our goal is to get you back to training without pain and performing at your best.

Question 5

What happens during my first session?

Accepted Answer

Your first visit includes a comprehensive evaluation—looking at movement, mobility, strength, and sport-specific demands. We’ll discuss your goals, create a personalized plan, and start treatment that same day. You will leave with clarity of what the root cause is and actionable steps to initiate your plan of care.

Question 6

What treatments do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use a variety of evidence-based treatments including:

• Corrective exercise & strength training
 • Manual therapy and recovery modalities (cupping, scraping, dry needling, joint mobilizations, ESTIM/TENS, Red Light Therapy)
 • Mobility drills and recovery techniques

• Sports performance training

Each plan is customized to your needs, sport, and goals.

Question 7

What will a session look like?

Accepted Answer

Most sessions are 60 minutes, one-on-one with your physical therapist. For certain services (like recovery, personal training, or seminars), session lengths may vary.

Every session is tailored to you. Depending on your needs, it may include manual therapy (dry needling, cupping, scraping, joint mobilization), corrective exercise, strength training, or recovery work. You’ll always leave with a clear plan for what to do between sessions as well.

Question 8

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your injury, goals, sport demands, and consistency during the plan of care. But we can say that a lot of people feel relief in just 2-4 visits, allowing us to progress to the Rebuilding phase of their plan of care, which is where the magic happens!  We’ll outline your session expectations for you during your initial evaluation.

Question 9

Do you only treat injuries?

Accepted Answer

Not at all! Many clients work with us for:
 • Injury reduction
 • Mobility improvement
 • Sports performance
 • Strength & conditioning training

• Recovery strategies

Think of us as your long-term partner in health and performance.

Question 10

Where are you located?

Accepted Answer

We’re based inside Cigar City CrossFit in Tampa, FL, giving us access to turf, weights, and sport-specific equipment for real-world training and rehab.

Question 11

What if I’m not an athlete?

Accepted Answer

You don’t have to compete to train like one! We also work with anyone who wants to stay active, get stronger, or move without pain in everyday life.

Question 12

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

Easy! Book a phone consultation or initial evaluation through our website or send us a DM/email. We’ll guide you from there.

Question 13

What is Performance Physical Therapy?

Accepted Answer

Performance PT goes beyond just getting you out of pain—it’s about helping you move better, prevent injuries, and optimize performance. We combine rehab with strength training, mobility work, and sport-specific programming so you can train and compete at your best. We genuinely believe that movement is the best medicine and our treatment plans show that.

Question 14

Why choose Redemption PT?

Accepted Answer

Because we are the best in Tampa!

At Redemption PT, you work one-on-one with your therapist for a full session—no double-booking, no handing you off to an aide. Our focus is on personalized care, performance-driven results, and giving athletes and active individuals the tools to stay healthy long-term.

Question 15

Will I end up paying more for cash-based PT?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily and most time NO! Many insurance-based clinics see patients 2–3 times per week with short, divided sessions. At Redemption PT, most clients come once a week (sometimes less) for a full 60-minute one-on-one session, which often means fewer visits and better results—saving time and money in the long run.

Question 16

Why would I choose to pay out of pocket when I can use my insurance elsewhere?

Accepted Answer

Because you’re investing in better, faster results. With cash-based PT, you get one-on-one care, a plan built around your goals, and the freedom to use effective treatments without insurance restrictions. Many clients find they recover quicker and need fewer visits compared to traditional in-network clinics. Your health is an investment, not an expense.
