Why did I start Paragon?

Honestly, looking back on my ten year career, I don’t think I had a choice.

When I moved to Florida in 2022, I was assured by my new employer that they weren’t a “PT mill”, which is exactly what it sounds like: patients come in one end, money comes out the other, and PT’s are the ones to turn the crank. Well, it turns out they had lied to me.

I worked a single day in that clinic before I quit and started Paragon.

I got into this profession to help people, and sadly I’ve seen the insurance-based medical model fail my patients time and time again. When they’re involved, insurance companies call the shots, and their mandates are why most physical therapy clinics must double and triple book patients just to stay above water. Modern insurance-based medicine is more about the bottom line than it is about helping people live and age effectively.

I refuse to offer my patients anything less than the care I would demand for my family and for myself.

My mission with Paragon is simple: offer maximal value to my clients. I provide educational modules, telehealth, telecoaching, and one-on-one holistic care of the highest quality to get you back to living your life to the fullest, whether that includes martial arts, climbing, running, boating, waking up without back pain, or walking the dog.
