FAQ

Before your first session

Direct access cash-pay PT and performance rehab — simple, clear, no insurance runaround. Common questions before booking:

Do you take insurance?

Elev8 uses a cash-pay model and accepts Cash, Credit, FSA, and HSA. The goal is direct care without insurance hassle.

What do I need for a virtual session?

A phone, tablet, or computer with camera access and enough space to move safely. Dr. Ken adapts the session to your environment.

What should I expect at the first visit?

An evaluation, movement assessment, goal review, treatment plan, and first round of guided care or training.

Why cash-pay?

Cash-pay keeps care flexible, transparent, and focused on your goals instead of insurance visit limits or authorization delays.

Do you work with kids?

Yes. Elev8 works with youth athletes, including young athletes as early as 8 years old, as well as adults.

Can athletes use Elev8 for performance only?

Yes. Elev8 supports injury prevention, movement screening, strength training, sport-specific conditioning, and return-to-sport work.

When can I start after surgery?

Your post-op timeline depends on your surgeon's protocol and your procedure. Dr. Ken builds the rehab plan around those restrictions and your goals.

Insights

A hamstring strain that keeps recurring is almost never just bad luck. There is usually a pattern, a weakness, a movement habit, or an incomplete recovery, that physical therapy can identify and correct. Here is what we look for at Elev8 Physical Therapy in Katy.
