Frequently asked questions
Our most common questions from runners and active adults in and around the Smyrna area, answered here.
How long is the drive from south Smyrna to Proactive Kinetics?
From south Smyrna, Proactive Kinetics on West College Street in Murfreesboro is typically a 15-to-20-minute drive. For most of our Smyrna-area clients, that's a worthwhile trade-off for truly individualized, 1:1 physical therapy that simply isn't available closer to home.
Why drive to Murfreesboro instead of seeing a PT closer to home?
That's a fair question. Most traditional PT clinics operate on a high-volume model: shared sessions, limited time with the therapist, and a protocol that's more or less the same for everyone. We offer something different: 1:1 sessions focused on identifying the real cause of your injury and building a plan around your actual goals.
What kinds of issues do you work with?
We work with a wide range of orthopedic and movement-related issues: running injuries, lower-body pain, shoulder and back issues from lifting or sport, and more. Runners dealing with recurring lower-leg or hip problems make up a large part of who we see, but we serve active adults of all kinds.
Is there a referral required to start?
No referral is needed. Tennessee allows direct access to physical therapy, meaning you can schedule your first visit without needing to see a physician first. Simply call or reach out online to schedule a free 30-minute phone call, and we'll determine the best path forward from there.
Do you accept insurance for Smyrna clients?
We are a cash-based practice, which means we don't bill insurance directly. Many of our clients use HSA or FSA funds, and we can provide a superbill for clients who want to pursue potential out-of-network reimbursement through their insurance plan. Full payment and payment plan options are available.
