If you’ve ever wished you could get expert physical therapy without sitting in traffic or waiting in a crowded clinic, mobile physical therapy might be exactly what you need. At KRU Mobile PT, we bring strength-forward, personalized physical therapy right to your doorstep.
What Is Mobile Physical Therapy?
Mobile physical therapy is exactly what it sounds like: licensed doctors of physical therapy travel to you, whether that’s your home, office, or gym. There’s no equipment you need to provide. We bring everything necessary for your treatment and training.
Unlike traditional outpatient clinics, mobile PT removes the logistical hassles that often prevent people from getting the care they need. No commuting. No parking stress. No crowded waiting rooms.
Who Is It For?
Mobile PT is ideal for people who:
• Are 40+ and want to stay active, strong, and independent
• Prefer a one-on-one, personalized experience
• Want to recover from injury or surgery without losing time to travel
• Are looking to build long-term strength and function, not just chase pain relief
What Makes KRU Mobile PT Different
We’re not just here to help you “feel better” for the moment. At KRU, we integrate strength training—including barbells and kettlebells—into your rehab process. Our approach helps you rebuild a body that’s not only pain-free but strong, capable, and resilient.
Here’s what a typical session might include:
• Thorough movement assessment
• Manual therapy if needed
• Strength training tailored to your goals and body
• Mobility work that fits your lifestyle
• A clear plan that evolves as you progress
PT Wellness: Beyond Rehab
In addition to traditional physical therapy, we offer what we call PT Wellness—a blend of services designed to keep you feeling and performing your best. This includes:
• Personal training by a licensed doctor of physical therapy
• Massage therapy integrated with movement and rehab principles
Whether you’re recovering from an injury or simply want to move better, PT Wellness is a proactive approach to long-term health and function.
Insurance & Payment
KRU Mobile PT operates as an out-of-network provider, which means we do not bill insurance directly. However, we can provide a superbill upon request, which you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement depending on your plan (excludes Medicare and Medicaid).
This model allows us to spend more time focused on you and your goals—not insurance paperwork.
The Real Benefit: Care That Fits Your Life
One of the biggest barriers to consistent care is time. When your PT shows up at your door, fully equipped and focused only on you, the process becomes seamless. It means you get better faster, with less disruption to your life.
And because we come to your space, we get to see how you move in your real environment. That insight helps us design more effective, personalized programs that stick.
