Local context
Inside Clarkston.
Clarkston's identity is built around its trails, lakes, and golf. And that's exactly the patient mix we see. Oakhurst Country Club and Indianwood Golf & Country Club drive a consistent stream of mobility-focused golfers. The Independence Oaks trail network and Bay Court Park's lakeside paths bring in runners and walkers across all training volumes. Pine Knob Music Theatre and the Clarkston schools community add another layer. Staff, teachers, and active adults across Independence Township and Springfield Township who train consistently and want clinical care that matches that mindset. The Sashabaw Road / I-75 corridor also makes us an easy stop for working professionals commuting south to Auburn Hills and Pontiac.
Common cases
Who we see from Clarkston.
Most of our Clarkston cases fall into three buckets. Golfers. Typically members at Oakhurst or Indianwood. Come in for the rotational mobility work that golf-specific PT requires: hip rotation, thoracic mobility, and the pelvic stability that protects a back swing. Runners coming off the Independence Oaks and Paint Creek Trail systems present with the classic chronic injuries, IT band, plantar fasciitis, runner's knee. That almost always trace back to a hip or ankle issue elsewhere in the chain. The third bucket is post-surgical and chronic-pain cases: Clarkston residents who've cycled through one or two rounds of insurance-based PT and want a different framework before their pain becomes the new normal.

Questions worth asking.
How long does it take to get from Clarkston?
About 15 minutes via Sashabaw Rd north to M-24, then north to Broadway St. in downtown Lake Orion. Reserved parking at our building means no hunting for a spot when you arrive.
Do you work with golfers from Oakhurst or Indianwood?
Yes. Golf-specific kinetic chain work is one of our most common Clarkston cases. We use the TPI Medical framework to assess the hip rotation, thoracic mobility, and pelvic stability that determine swing mechanics, and we coordinate with your coach when needed.
I run on Independence Oaks trails. Can the kinetic chain framework help with chronic IT band issues?
Yes. IT band syndrome is almost always a hip or ankle problem in disguise. We map the full lower-chain mechanics, identify the upstream link that's loading the band, and build a corrective plan around it. Not just stretching at the symptom site.
Do I need a referral?
No. Michigan is a direct-access state. Book a Complete Kinetic Chain Assessment without a doctor’s referral, prior diagnosis, or pre-authorization.
Do you accept insurance?
No. We operate completely outside the insurance model. Cash, credit, HSA, and FSA are accepted. Receipts are available for out-of-network reimbursement.
Because You're Not Done Yet.
Stop managing pain. Start hunting the cause.
