What is the Foundation Evaluation and why is it mandatory?+
The Foundation Evaluation is our mandatory starting point — a 60-minute deep dive into your past history, biomechanics, injury history, and movement "leaks." We don't guess. We assess everything. This is how we build your data-backed, unique resiliency roadmap. Without it, we can't build an effective plan for you.
How is RootFix different from a regular physical therapist?+
Traditional PT is designed to get you "good enough" for daily life and eliminate symptoms. RootFix bridges the gap between the treatment table and the weight room. We don't stop when the pain stops — we keep going until your body is resilient enough to handle the demands of sport, work, and life.
Do I need to be an athlete to work with RootFix?+
Absolutely not. Our clients range from competitive athletes to grandparents who want to keep up with their grandkids. If you have a body and you want it to work better and hurt less, RootFix is for you. The goal is always the same: a body you can trust.
How many sessions will I need?+
It depends on the complexity of your situation, which is exactly why we start with the Foundation Evaluation. After that session, you'll have a clear roadmap with a realistic timeline. Some clients see major changes in 6-8 sessions. Others with more complex histories work with us long-term.
What should I expect at my first session?+
Your first session is your Foundation Evaluation. Come ready to talk through your full history — injuries, surgeries, past treatments, lifestyle, and goals. We'll also move you through assessments to identify biomechanical patterns and movement "leaks." Wear comfortable clothes you can move in. By the end, you'll have your roadmap.
Where are you located?+
We're located at
8801 University Ave, Suite 28, Clive, IA 50235. Easily accessible from the Des Moines metro area. If you have questions about parking or directions, feel free to reach out at
[email protected].
Do you accept insurance?+
We are a private pay practice. We don't accept insurance, which actually allows us to give you more time, more personalization, and better results than an insurance-driven model permits. Many clients find that the investment pays for itself by finally solving problems that years of traditional treatment couldn't fix.
