Physical Therapy

We target the source of your discomfort and customize a treatment plan that allows you to resume a pain-free life as quickly as possible.

Ellen-Treatment

At Mindset, we provide much more than physical therapy services.

We provide freedom from pain, medication and surgery.

We provide improved function, independence as you age, resilience, injury prevention, increased tolerance to exercise, reduced stress and anxiety, and overall emotional well-being knowing you are safe and strong in your body.

We help you become the person you are meant to be, able to do the things you are meant to do.

With many large hospital physical therapy systems and private franchises, you might get fifteen minutes with an actual physical therapist, and insurance companies will limit what can be accomplished over a set number of sessions.

At Mindset, you get a full hour one-on-one with one of our doctors of physical therapy, and the scope of your treatment will be decided by both of you.

Our shared goal is to get you back to what you want to be doing, pain-free and without surgery, injections or medications.

Whether you have a prescription or not, contact us so we can help!

We like every new relationship to begin with a Discovery Session.

This 30-min consultation call is with one of our expert physical therapists. During the call, our goal is to learn more about your current situation and provide clear steps to get you back to a healthy life without painkillers, injection or surgery.

Note: The Discovery Session is NOT required — if you’re ready for your Initial Evaluation or Follow-Up visit, contact us or schedule now!

Dr. Sean Clark

Dr. Sean Clark

PT, DPT

Dr. Sean was born and raised in Southwest Michigan and earned a BA in Chemical Engineering with a Minor in Pulp & Paper Engineering in 2013. Throughout his career as an Application Engineer and Project Manager, he confirmed his passion for physics and science, but realized industrial applications of these topics were not the right fit. This led him to pursue his true calling as a Physical Therapist and he earned his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from WMU in 2022.

Sean has had a strong interest in human physiology and biomechanics with his love for sports, exercise, and human performance. Over time, he realized how important injury prevention and rehabilitation can be to maintain athletic performance and everyday function. Helping people maximize function and meet their athletic goals quickly became a passion!

When not at work you can find him golfing, playing ultimate frisbee, throwing competitive darts, exploring nature or starting too many home renovation projects at the same time. He is beyond excited to be a part of the Mindset community and grow as a therapist alongside his future patients.

Direct-to-Patient

We use a direct pay model to spend time taking care of patients rather than insurance companies.

We do not file claims with or accept payments from any health insurance company, including Medicare and Medicaid.

This is ideal for patients who want to build a relationship with us on their path to wellness and desire access to top-level care.
