What Gardner Clients Are Saying

Real feedback from athletes and active adults who refused to settle for "almost better."

Dr. Swank is the best! I finally got the right care at Ready physio to take care of my back pain.
Matthew Chan
Great experience with Ready Physio! Thank you for such incredible attention and care. I was able to get back to running much sooner than I thought. Thank you!
Lory Ojeda
Dr. Micah Swank is incredible to work with. I have been to several chiropractors to try and fix some back issues that I have had for years and had zero luck with fixing these problems. I have worked with Micah for about a year now and I have felt major improvements in my mobility and back tightness. He is extremely knowledgeable and easy to work with. I highly recommend

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about getting started at Ready Physio in Gardner.

Do I need a referral to start physical therapy in Kansas?

Kansas allows direct access to physical therapy, so you can schedule your free discovery call and evaluation without seeing a doctor first. You don't need a referral to get started. If you have questions about your specific situation, reach out and we'll help you figure out the best path forward.

How long are sessions, and how often will I need to come in?

Every session is one-on-one care focused entirely on you. Most clients start with one to two sessions per week, then adjust based on how they're progressing and what their training schedule looks like. We build your plan around your goals, not a generic timeline.

Will I have to stop training while I'm in PT?

Usually not. For most people, smart training is part of the process. We'll work with you to adjust loads or movements when needed, but our goal is to keep you active and moving forward — not to put you on the shelf while you wait to feel better.

You're cash-based — is this worth it if I can use my insurance somewhere else?

That's a fair question, and the honest answer is it depends on what you're looking for. At Ready Physio, you get a full one-on-one session every time, a plan built around your sport and training, and someone focused on getting you all the way back — not just good enough to discharge. We also provide superbills if you want to seek out-of-network reimbursement from your insurance.

What should I wear or bring to my first session?

Dress like you're heading to the gym — athletic shorts or leggings and a t-shirt work well. If you're dealing with a running issue, bring your current training shoes. If it's a lifting-related problem, be ready to show us some movements so we can see what's going on and build your plan from there.

Still have questions?

Reach out and we'll be happy to help you figure out the right next step.
