Six ways in. One standard of care.
Every service is delivered one-on-one, by a licensed physical therapist, on a plan with an endpoint.
Physical Therapy
Hands-on, cause-first care for pain that’s overstayed its welcome. The foundation everything else here is built on.
02Orthopedic Therapy
Joints, tendons, and the mechanics around them. Led by a board-certified orthopaedic specialist who has spent a career on exactly this.
03Sports Rehab
Return-to-sport testing you have to pass, not a date circled on a calendar. Rehab that ends on the field, not on the table.
04Manual Therapy
Skilled hands on the joint or tissue that will not move. The part of an appointment a printed sheet has never once replaced.
05Dry Needling
Precise, targeted work for the knot that’s been there since spring. A tool inside the plan, never the whole plan.
06Vestibular Therapy
For the room that tilts when you roll over in bed. Dizziness, vertigo, and balance have a mechanism, and a mechanism can be treated.
Nine more techniques, used inside the plan
You leave visit one holding the plan.
Most pain doesn’t need more mystery. It needs a cause-first evaluation: finding the reason, not renting relief from the symptom.
From there, care moves through four named phases, Pain, Prime, Perform, Prevent, each with its own job and its own criteria for moving on. You always know which phase you’re in and what earns you the next one.
And every plan has an endpoint. We’re here to finish the work, not to see you indefinitely.
Get my plan started ⟶Calm it down.
Hands-on treatment begins at the first visit. You leave understanding what’s actually going on, and you feel a difference early.
Restore what’s stuck.
Targeted mobility work for the joints and tissue actually holding you back, dosed to your body, not a printed sheet.
Build strength you trust.
Progressive load against standards you have to clear before moving on. Confidence, here, is a training effect.
Make it stay fixed.
Testing before you’re cleared, then a keep-it-gone program sized to your real week. Then we graduate you.
Corrections to the record.
Physical therapy has a reputation problem. It was earned, just not here. The record, corrected:
-
“PT is a photocopied handout and a heat pack.”
CorrectedEvery visit is hands-on and one-on-one with a licensed physical therapist. If a sheet of paper could fix it, we’d mail you the paper and wish you well.
-
“You’re one of three patients they’re juggling that hour.”
CorrectedOne patient. One therapist. One hour, on the clock for you and nobody else. Your appointment is yours; nobody shares it.
-
“Once you start, you’re in for as long as they can bill it.”
CorrectedYour plan has four named phases and an endpoint we name out loud at the evaluation, before you agree to anything. Graduation is the goal, not retention.
-
“You need a referral before anyone will even look at it.”
CorrectedYou don’t. Pennsylvania allows direct access: book the evaluation and we handle the paperwork behind you. No gatekeeper, no note from your doctor.
Your first visit, annotated.
One hour, one room, one therapist. Here’s the anatomy of it.
You talk. We actually listen.
The whole story, not the three lines that fit on an intake form: when it started, what it’s costing you, what you’ve already tried.
We test, not guess.
Movement, strength, and the joints above and below the one that hurts. Where it hurts isn’t always why it hurts.
Treatment starts today.
Hands-on work in the first hour, not the third week. You should leave feeling that something changed.
You leave with answers.
What it is, how long it should take, what phase one looks like, and what visit two will do. In plain language.
Wear something you can move in. Everything else is our job.
The people holding the plan.
Twelve of us across two clinics, most of us from these towns. Four of the therapists you are most likely to meet:
Dr. Jarrod King
Spine & orthopedics · PT, DPT, OCS
Board certified in orthopaedics, certified in primary spine practice, and a national wrestling champion before any of it.
Dr. Hayley Skovira
Manual therapy · PT, DPT, MTC
Started here in 2016, left to finish her doctorate, came back in 2022. Manual therapy certified, which tends to show in the first ten minutes.
Dr. Max Queale
Athletic training · PT, DPT
Came to physical therapy through athletic training and four years of college swimming. He knows what a lost season costs.
Dr. Lexi Klatt
Ortho & neuro · PT, DPT
Grew up in Scottdale, played collegiate softball, and trained across acute care and outpatient ortho and neuro before landing back home.
“Amazing staff and walked out with 0 pain! I would highly recommend this place to anyone who needs physical therapy.”Kylie H. · Patient review
Very friendly, knowledgeable staff. Therapists truly listen to problems and actively work to resolve them! Highly recommended!
Camille S. · Patient reviewThe physical therapist that I work with retired and I recently had a shoulder replacement. I decided to come here and was quickly glad that I did. I have received excellent care and everyone at the office is very nice and really friendly.
Donna F. · Patient reviewKings has been a great place for myself or anyone that needs to receive physical therapy. My physical results have been improved and the staff and therapist are a pleasure to work with.

The straight answer on cost.
Nobody should need a decoder ring to find out what care costs. Pick your situation; we’ll say it plainly.
We take most major plans, and we verify your exact benefits before your first visit: copay, deductible status, visit limits, all of it.
You’ll get the numbers in plain English before you owe anyone anything. No surprise statements six weeks later.
Verification is free and takes about a business day. Use the form to start it now.
Haven’t met your deductible yet? You’ll likely pay the insurer-negotiated rate per visit until you do, and we’ll tell you that exact number up front.
Because your plan has an endpoint, you’ll also know roughly how many visits we’re talking about, so you can do real math, not hopeful math.
Every dollar counts toward the deductible you’d be paying down anyway.
No insurance doesn’t mean no care. We have a self-pay rate, stated before you book, with no processing games.
One-on-one care also tends to mean fewer total visits than the volume clinics, so most self-pay patients spend less than they feared.
Ask about the self-pay rate when we call to schedule. It’s a number, not a negotiation.
We’re on it.
Expect a call within one business day with your copay, deductible status, and what your plan covers, in plain English.
Questions, answered plainly.
The things people ask on the phone, written down.
Most PT that fails, fails the same way: a rushed evaluation, a generic exercise sheet, and a therapist splitting the hour three ways. Here you get a full hour, one-on-one with a licensed physical therapist, and a cause-first evaluation that treats the reason for your pain instead of chasing the symptom. Different inputs tend to produce a different outcome.
No. Pennsylvania allows direct access to physical therapy, which means you can book an evaluation without seeing anyone else first. If your insurance plan requires a referral for reimbursement, we’ll flag that during your free benefits check and help you get one.
It depends on your insurance, so we check it for you before your first visit, free. You’ll know your copay, where your deductible stands, and any visit limits before you owe anyone anything. If you’re self-pay, we’ll quote you the flat rate up front. No surprise statements, ever.
Most patients notice a meaningful difference within the first two to three visits, because hands-on treatment starts at the evaluation itself. The full plan, through the Pain, Prime, Perform, and Prevent phases, typically runs several weeks to a few months depending on the problem. You’ll get a specific estimate at your evaluation, and we track progress against it out loud.
Sometimes the pain fades. The cause usually stays. That’s why it comes back every time you garden, travel, or sleep wrong, and why each round tends to last a little longer than the last. An evaluation tells you what you’re actually dealing with, so waiting becomes a decision you’re making on purpose instead of a gamble.
Clothes you can move in, your insurance card if you have one, and any imaging or reports you already have, though you don’t need imaging to start. Arrive five minutes early and we’ll handle the rest. The evaluation, including hands-on treatment, takes about an hour.
Put it in writing.
Six short questions. A real person calls you back, usually within two business hours, with times that fit your week.
The people who end up filling this out are rarely in the worst pain of their life. They’re just done working around it, done picking the errand that doesn’t require the stairs. If that’s the stage you’re at, this is the part where you stop researching and start.
Consider it filed.
A real person will call you back, usually within two business hours, with appointment times that fit your week. Keep your phone nearby.
