Do I need a referral to get started?

No referral is needed to get started. Vermont is a direct access state, so you can book an evaluation directly without seeing a physician first. If your insurance requires a referral for reimbursement purposes, we can help you navigate that during your first visit.

Can I use my HSA or FSA to pay?

Yes. All services at Stowe Physical Therapy and Pilates are HSA and FSA eligible. We accept BCBS, MVP, Green Mountain Care/Medicaid, Medicare, and Tricare. For out-of-network plans, we can provide a superbill you can submit for potential reimbursement.

Will I have to stop training or playing my sport during care?

Not necessarily. Our goal is to keep you as active as safely possible throughout the process. We work with your training schedule and sport demands to modify activity where needed, not eliminate it. Many people continue training with adjustments while they recover and build strength.

What athletes and coaches say

Feedback from teams and individual athletes who've worked with us to stay healthy and perform better.

I’m so grateful for the care I received at Stowe Physical Therapy, specifically from Kat Dwyer. Last year, I came in with persistent hip pain that had been painful for months, and over the course of several visits she created a thoughtful, highly personalized plan of stretches and strengthening exercises that addressed the root of the issue. Kat has a wonderful way of explaining what’s going on in the body and how each movement supports healing. Beyond her expertise, I simply enjoyed spending time with her as a person. I've been pain-free for seven months now. Highly recommend!

I have been in and out of PT for the past 34 years for Neck, Back, and Shoulder Problems. Started going to Heidi about 16 months ago and she has done more to correct my problems than all the other Physical Therapist combined that i saw for all these years.I am very appreciative for all Heidi has done in terms of relieving my issues and teaching me to be pro active in reducing the likely hood of continual problems.

Sam Strober

I have had several different sessions with Heidi at Stowe PTP and they have all been excellent! The facility is full of a wide variety of equipment, and the place is immaculate. All of the therapists are wonderful and take the time to help their clients learn all the necessary movements/exercises to improve range of motion and recovery from injuries. They offer on line exercises as well as a variety of thing to work at in the studio. I would highly recommend Stowe Physical Therapy & Pilates, PLLC

We work with youth, high school, collegiate, club, and adult competitive teams. Programming is tailored to age, training experience, and sport demands.

How do you coordinate with our coach and training schedule?

We work directly with coaches to understand your training calendar and goals. Programs are designed to complement existing practice without adding excessive volume or conflicting with team priorities.

Can individual athletes work with you outside of a team package?

Yes. Individual athletes can book evaluations, return-to-sport programs, or performance training even if their team isn't working with us. We'll coordinate with coaches when appropriate.

What is included in a team screening?

Movement screening typically includes assessment of landing mechanics, deceleration control, strength asymmetries, and sport-specific movement patterns. We provide a report with findings and recommendations for each athlete.

Do you provide return-to-play clearance?

We provide objective testing and benchmarks to support return-to-play decisions. Final clearance is made in coordination with your physician, coach, and athletic trainer if applicable.
