Licensed Physical Therapy
1-on-1 Physical Therapy
Experience premium, personalized care led by Dr. Spencer Haag, DPT. Our strength-based approach combines hands-on treatment with performance-focused rehabilitation to deliver better outcomes in fewer visits.
Whether you're dealing with pain, recovering from injury, or working to prevent future issues, our approach is simple: assess what's holding you back, build a plan that fits your life, and keep you progressing with purpose.
- 1 Assess A full hour finding what is actually driving the problem — plus a ForceDecks baseline, so we start with numbers instead of guesses.
- 2 Plan A program built around your goal and your week. Not a printed handout, and not whatever your insurance will authorise.
- 3 Progress Hands-on treatment and real strength work in a real gym, adjusted as you go. You learn why each piece is there.
- 4 Prove Retested against your day-one baseline. You leave knowing what changed, by how much, and how to keep it.
- 300+ Clients Treated
- 60 Minutes Per Session
- 8-12 Visits Average
What We Treat
Find Your Problem on This List
Acute injuries, chronic pain, post-surgical recovery and the movement problems underneath all three. If what is bothering you is on this list, click the card — every one of them books an evaluation.
-
Joint Pain & Stiffness
Joints that ache, catch or will not move the way they used to. Treatment for joint dysfunction, arthritis and lost range — the stiffness that turns stairs, sleep and getting off the floor into a decision.
- Knee osteoarthritis
- Shoulder impingement
- Hip mobility issues
- Ankle stiffness
-
Sports Injuries
Rehab that ends where the sport starts. The goal is not "cleared to return" — it is loaded, tested and confident enough to go back at full speed.
- ACL/MCL sprains
- Rotator cuff tears
- Tennis/golfer's elbow
- Runner's knee
-
Post-Surgical Recovery
Your surgeon repaired the tissue. This is the part that rebuilds the function around it — progressive rehabilitation after orthopedic surgery, paced to what the joint can take.
- Joint replacement recovery
- Arthroscopic repairs
- Spinal surgery rehab
- Fracture rehabilitation
-
Chronic Pain
Pain that has outlasted whatever started it. Movement-based treatment and education for persistent conditions, built on loading you gradually rather than resting you indefinitely.
- Lower back pain
- Chronic neck pain
- Fibromyalgia
- Tension headaches
-
Movement Disorders
The pattern underneath the pain. Assessment and correction of how you move, load and compensate — because a joint that keeps getting angry is usually being asked to do another joint's job. And no, it is not your posture: how you sit is not what is hurting you, and no amount of standing up straight will load a weak hip.
- Squat and hinge mechanics
- Gait abnormalities
- Muscle imbalances
- Core instability
-
Work-Related Injuries
Injuries the job caused, treated so the job does not cause them again. Loading, mechanics and the specific demands of your shift — not a generic handout of stretches.
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Lifting-related back pain
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Workplace ergonomics
The Clear Choice
Why Choose Skilled Fitness & Therapy?
Same profession, two different business models. One is built around your problem. The other is built around what a visit reimburses.
Direct Pay
Skilled Fitness & Therapy
1-on-1 DPT-Led Treatment
- 60-Minute Sessions A full hour of treatment time, every visit, start to finish.
- 1-on-1 Exclusive Care One client on the schedule at a time. Your therapist is not also running two other people through their exercises.
- Every Session with a Doctor of Physical Therapy The therapist who evaluates you is the therapist who treats you, all the way through your plan. You never have to re-explain your injury to someone new.
- Fully Equipped Weight Room Rehab happens inside a full training facility with the equipment to actually load you. Strength is what makes rehab hold.
- No Insurance Hassles No referral, no pre-authorisation, no visit cap. Your plan is decided between you and your therapist. HSA and FSA cards are accepted, and we provide a superbill you can submit to your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement.

The Traditional Clinic Model
Built Around Reimbursement
- Shorter Appointments Session length is set by what a visit pays, not by what the problem needs.
- Overlapping Schedules Volume is how the model stays solvent, so attention gets divided across patients booked into the same hour.
- Handed Off to Support Staff You are evaluated by the therapist, then much of the actual session is delegated to aides or assistants.
- Limited Equipment Bands, a table and a small treatment area. Hard to load a knee properly with any of it.
- Insurance Restrictions Referrals, authorisations and visit caps decide the plan before your therapist does.

Objective Measurement, Not Guesswork
We Don't Think You're Better. We Show You.
Most physical therapy ends when you say it feels fine. Feeling fine is not a measurement — and it is not the same as being ready.
We test on VALD ForceDecks — dual force plates that measure exactly how much force you produce, how fast you produce it, and how much of it is coming from each leg.
You see your baseline on day one. You see it again partway through. You see it at discharge, next to where you started.
If the numbers have not moved, the plan changes. That is the whole point of measuring.
-
01
Baseline
Before we build a plan we measure what you can actually produce — and how far the injured side is from the other one. That gap is the target.
-
02
Retest
Same tests, same conditions, partway through your program. Progress you can see on a chart, not a feeling you are asked to report.
-
03
Ready
Returning to sport or heavy work on a side that is still measurably weaker is how people get hurt twice. We test before that call gets made.
ForceDeck testing at Skilled Fitness & Therapy, Monticello.
What We Test With
- Peak power output, concentric and eccentric
- Vertical jump height and jump mechanics
- Inter-limb comparison — left versus right, quantified
- Isometric pull testing for maximal force
Measured on VALD ForceDecks — the dual force plate system used by professional sports teams and university clinics.
Testing is part of your evaluation and reassessments — not a separate add-on charge.

Pricing
Here Is What It Costs
No quote form, no discovery call before you are allowed to hear a number. Every price we charge is on this page.
Physical Therapy Evaluation
A full hour with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. You are assessed, tested on the ForceDecks, and you leave with a plan and a number for what the plan costs. Nobody is sold anything before that hour happens.
- 60 minutes, one-on-one, with a Doctor of Physical Therapy
- VALD ForceDecks baseline testing included
- Your treatment plan and its price, in writing, that day
- No referral, no pre-authorisation, no waiting list
Treatment Packages
Packages are priced per client, and there is a real reason for that: the number of visits you need depends on what the evaluation finds. Most plans of care run 8–12 visits. You get the total before you commit to any of it — there is no open tab here.
- Priced from your evaluation, not from a menu
- Typically 8–12 visits, 60 minutes each
- Full price quoted before your first treatment
- Three ways to pay it — below
Three Ways To Pay For A Package
-
Save 15%
Paid In Full
Pay the package up front and take 15% off the total. It is the cheapest way to do this and it is not a limited-time anything — it is simply what paying in full costs.
-
Same Total
Split Into 2–3 Payments
Break the package into two or three payments across your plan of care. The total does not change — you are spreading it, not financing it.
-
Weekly
Pay Week By Week
Pay as you go, weekly, for a slight increase on the total. If that is what makes the plan possible, it is what makes the plan possible — nobody has ever been turned away for choosing it.
HSA and FSA cards are accepted. We provide a superbill for every plan of care and will help you file it with your insurer for possible out-of-network reimbursement — what your plan pays back is between you and them, but the paperwork is not your problem to figure out.
Complete Care
Unlimited Physical Therapy. For $49 More, The Whole Gym With It.
Complete Care is unlimited physical therapy at $599 a month — no visit count, no package to re-buy, no gym membership attached. Come in as often as your plan calls for.
Add Skilled Signature and Complete Care drops to $499, so the pair is $648 a month. That is $49 more than the therapy on its own, and it buys you all six training rooms, unlimited CrossFit, unlimited tanning and unlimited red light therapy on top of unlimited treatment.
- Complete Care alone $599 / mo
- Complete Care + Skilled Signature $648 / mo
- The difference $49 / mo
Complete Care is arranged at your evaluation — it is the right fit for some plans of care and the wrong one for others, and we will tell you which.
