How Much Does Care Cost at Alchemy Sports Performance & Rehabilitation in Roanoke, VA?
If you have been searching for answers about a recurring shoulder problem, a nagging knee issue, or unresolved dizziness, it is natural to wonder what it will take to finally feel like yourself again. You deserve clear, honest information before committing to care. At Alchemy Sports Performance and Rehabilitation, understanding how our model works is the first step toward making a confident decision about your health.
Understanding Your Investment in Physical Therapy
A Self-Pay Model Built Around You
Alchemy Sports Performance and Rehabilitation operates on a self-pay model. This means care decisions are not dictated by insurance company rules that limit your visits, restrict treatment options, or reduce the time your therapist can spend with you. Every decision is made between you and your doctoral-level physical therapist, based entirely on what your body and your goals actually need.
This structure also means there are no surprise bills tied to coverage disputes or shifting plan rules. Your care plan stays focused on your outcomes from day one. To learn more about who we are and why we built Alchemy this way, visit our About page.
What Shapes the Length of Your Care Plan
Every recovery journey is different, and no two care plans look exactly alike. Several factors influence how many sessions you may need:
The complexity of your injury or condition
How long you have been dealing with symptoms
Your specific sport, activity, or performance goals
Your body's individual response to treatment
Whether we are addressing a single issue or a pattern of recurring problems
Because we take a root-cause approach to diagnosis, we invest time upfront to understand why an injury happened, not just how to calm down the symptoms. This often leads to more efficient, lasting results.
What to Expect From Your 60-Minute Session
One-on-One Care With a Doctoral-Level PT, Every Visit
Every session at Alchemy Sports Performance and Rehabilitation is a full 60 minutes, one-on-one, with a doctoral-level physical therapist. You will never be handed off to an aide or assistant. This is a deliberate part of our model, built in response to high-volume clinics that leave active patients feeling rushed and underserved.
Inside a Personalized Session
During your appointment, you can expect a combination of hands-on and active care designed around you, including:
Ongoing assessment and progress tracking
Manual therapy techniques such as joint mobilization, dry needling, cupping, or IASTM as appropriate
Individualized therapeutic exercise and neuromuscular re-education
Education on your condition and self-management strategies
Sport-specific movement analysis when relevant to your goals
This full hour allows your therapist to watch you move, adjust your program in real time, and answer your questions without rushing to the next patient.
Specialized Care for Your Sport or Activity
CrossFit and Performance Training
We understand the physical demands CrossFit places on your joints and connective tissue. Our team uses functional movement assessments and targeted treatment to identify movement faults contributing to shoulder, hip, or low back pain so you can keep training with confidence.
Running Gait and Return-to-Running Programming
Using running gait analysis and movement screening, we identify what is driving injuries like runner's knee, IT band syndrome, or Achilles tendinopathy, then build a return-to-running plan tailored to your training schedule.
Manual Therapy for Lasting Relief
Techniques like soft tissue mobilization, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and joint manipulation are integrated into your broader plan to restore mobility and reduce pain at its source.
Vestibular and Balance Care
For dizziness, vertigo, or balance concerns, we use tools such as the Dix-Hallpike positional test, vestibulo-ocular reflex testing, and canalith repositioning to help you regain stability and confidence in daily life.
Golf Performance and Injury Prevention
We work with golfers to address swing mechanics, mobility limitations, and strength imbalances that contribute to elbow, shoulder, or back pain on the course.
