Care built around what you want to get back to

Flatiron Movement is an outpatient clinic in Boulder. Dr. Hannah Whitlock, DPT, OCS, leads a team of three physical therapists and a Pilates-trained rehab aide, and we see one patient at a time.

The whole hour is yours: assessment, hands-on treatment and the exercises that go with it. When you leave, you know what is causing the problem and what the next few weeks look like.

Reformer work is part of many plans, either alongside your treatment or as its own session with our Pilates-trained rehab aide.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

The things people ask us on the phone, answered here first.

Do I need a referral to see a physical therapist?

No. Colorado is a direct access state, so you can book an appointment without a referral. If your insurance plan asks for one before it reimburses, we will tell you what to ask your doctor for.

How long is a session?

An hour, one on one with the same physical therapist at every visit.

What does a visit cost?

Self-pay is $145 a visit. We are in network with most major insurers, and we check your benefits before the first appointment.

Do you offer clinical Pilates?

Yes. Our rehab aide is Pilates trained, and reformer sessions are part of many plans, either alongside treatment or as a session of their own.

What happens on the first visit?

We ask what you want to get back to, look at how you move, and start treatment the same day. You leave with a written plan and exercises you can do at home.
