Success Stories & Testimonials
I recently had the pleasure of meeting Dr Russell. Last couple years been having pain and mobility issues in both shoulders. It was very nice to experience a professional with true love for his profession. I live in the Odessa TX area. I will definitely be seeing him as much as possible. Thank you, Dr.Russell!!

I went to see Dr. Russell yesterday. I don’t think I’ve ever had a doctor spend that much time really trying to understand and help me. I’ve seen others for this issue over the last decade and none of the care I’ve received anywhere else has come close to the care Dr Russell provided.
Todd Baughman
Excellent service. Awesome therapy and therapist. Attentive, active listening, directed therapy. The best choice for dry needling and physical therapy. Dry needling was exponentially more effective than acupuncture. Combined with physical therapy I experienced almost immediate and lasting pain relief.

What should I expect during physical therapy sessions?

What do I need to wear or bring with me?
You should dress in comfortable, loose clothing that allows you to move easily and doesn’t restrict circulation. Depending on your condition, your physical therapist may also recommend special shoes or a brace. You should also bring any paperwork related to your medical history, including x-rays, ultrasounds, and doctor’s notes.
Is there anything I can do before my appointment to prepare?
Yes! Make sure you arrive for your session well-rested so that you can give it your full attention and energy. It is also helpful if you keep track of how much pain medication (if any) you take prior to the appointment so that the physical therapist can adjust the intensity of treatment accordingly.

Your physical therapist should be available to answer any questions or concerns you may have about your treatment plan before and after each visit. You can also contact the clinic directly for further assistance. We want you to get the most out of every session!
Will insurance cover my physical therapy?
It depends on your insurance plan. Most plans cover some or all of the costs associated with physical therapy, but you should check with your provider to determine coverage and any associated fees.
How often will I need to attend physical therapy sessions?
