Chronic Achilles or Heel Pain

“Having a PT at your gym is great, but even better when it’s Dr. Parrish. I had a decade-long shoulder issue that was quickly identified and worked on, and I felt better after the first visit. After a few weeks of visits, my issue is essentially gone and my pain levels have evaporated.”

“I had been dealing with tennis elbow for a couple of months and it was only getting worse. After talking with Alex at Vine performance, he assured me that they could help with my injury. After 10 sessions, I was easily back on the Pickleball court with no more pain at all in the elbow.”

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about getting started
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit begins with a comprehensive evaluation where your Doctor of Physical Therapy will discuss your injury history, goals, and concerns. We’ll perform a detailed physical assessment of your ankle and entire lower extremity to identify the root causes of your pain. This typically takes 60 minutes, and you’ll leave with a clear understanding of your condition and personalized treatment plan.
How long are typical treatment sessions?
Treatment sessions are typically 45-60 minutes of one-on-one time with your Doctor of Physical Therapy. Unlike other clinics, you’ll never be split between multiple patients or handed off to assistants. Your DPT is with you the entire session.
Do you accept insurance?
We offer a free consultation to discuss your specific situation and payment options. Contact us at (614) 826-6395 to learn more about insurance coverage and flexible payment plans.
How many sessions will I need?
Every patient is unique. After your initial evaluation, your DPT will provide an estimated treatment timeline based on your specific condition, goals, and response to therapy. Many patients see significant improvement within 6-8 weeks, though acute injuries may resolve faster while chronic conditions may require longer care.
What makes Vine Performance different from other physical therapy clinics?
