Common questions

Clear answers
before you commit.

If your question isn't here, the initial conversation is the place to ask it. There's no obligation attached.

Still deciding?

The fit is about disposition, not diagnosis.

You want an explanation that makes sense. You're willing to be assessed properly. You're open to looking at the whole system. If that's you, it's worth a conversation.

Is this physical therapy, or something else?

Both, depending on what you need. Roger is a licensed physical therapist with nearly three decades of orthopedic experience, and much of the work is physical therapy in the fullest sense. What's different is the breadth of the assessment—it includes the visual, vestibular, sensory, and cognitive-motor systems alongside the orthopedic foundation—and the fact that many clients come for performance and long-term capability rather than injury.

Do I need to have tried physical therapy before?

No. Some clients arrive having had extensive prior care—physical therapy, imaging, injections, surgery—and some have had none. Prior treatment isn't the qualifier. The fit is more about disposition: you want a clearer explanation, you're willing to be assessed carefully, and you're open to looking at the whole system rather than a single body part.

How is this different from the physical therapy I've had?

It may not be entirely different—good physical therapy is good physical therapy, and Roger respects the care you've already received. The distinction is that conventional approaches often focus on the output: the painful tissue, the tight muscle, the weak link. Sometimes that's enough. When it isn't, Roger looks upstream at the information the nervous system is working with, which may reveal contributors that weren't on the table before.

Is my pain a sign that something is damaged?

Not necessarily. Pain is produced by the nervous system as a protective response, and the amount of pain is not a reliable measure of the amount of injury. Imaging findings are common in people with no pain, and pain can persist or spread long after tissue has healed when the system has become more sensitive. Pain is always real—but it is better understood as a threat assessment than a damage report, which is exactly why it can be changed. The Understanding pain page goes deeper.

What happens in the first visit?

An unhurried conversation about your history and goals, followed by an assessment that's tailored to what Roger finds—baselines, targeted testing, and usually a trial of what changes your response in real time. You should leave with an explanation of what appears to be going on and a sense of the path forward, not just a list of exercises.

Is every session one-on-one with Roger?

Yes. Rehab2Fitness is a private practice. There are no aides, no rotating providers, and no shared sessions.

Do you need a physician's referral?

Please ask during your initial conversation—requirements can depend on your situation and how you plan to pay for care. If a referral or medical clearance is needed for any part of the work, Roger will let you know before anything is scheduled.

Do you work with insurance?

Rehab2Fitness is a private, fee-for-service practice. Payment details, documentation you may need for your own reimbursement, and any questions about coverage are discussed during the initial conversation so there are no surprises.

Is this only for athletes and golfers?

No. Many clients are athletes, and golfers are served under Rewired For Golf, but most of the practice is people who simply expect a lot from their bodies—they want to exercise, stay strong, travel, work at a high level, and stay capable as they age. The common thread is wanting to move and feel better, not a sport.

Will I be told things like "your brain is causing your pain"?

No. The nervous system is involved in organizing and regulating every movement, which is why it belongs in a thorough assessment—but that doesn't make it the cause of every problem. Tissues, structure, strength, and load all matter. Where a mechanism is likely rather than established, Roger uses that language deliberately.

Where are you located, and how do I start?

The practice is at 218 N Canon Dr, Suite D, Beverly Hills, CA 90210. To start, request a private consultation through the contact page or call (310) 351-0856. Please don't send private medical details by email.
