Two DPTs Who Left the System
Because You Deserve Better
We're Rick and Katie, and we built PhysioMax because we got tired of watching the insurance model fail patients who deserved real, lasting care.
Dr. Rick & Dr. Katie White, Founders of PhysioMax
The Problem
You've Felt It.
We've Seen It.
You go in with pain. You leave with exercises you've already tried, and the quiet feeling that nobody quite figured out why you hurt in the first place.
The insurance-based model wasn't designed to find root causes. It was designed to manage symptoms,quickly, efficiently, and within a billing window. That means less time with your therapist. Less time on what actually matters. And more of the same pain, cycling back, month after month.
You shouldn't have to accept that. And we refuse to deliver it.
Rick and Katie met in college and went on to earn their Doctorates in Physical Therapy from Florida Gulf Coast University,Rick licensed in 2016, Katie in 2017.
Right after graduation, rather than settling into a single clinic, they packed up a fifth-wheel camper and spent three years as travel physical therapists, working across five states in skilled nursing facilities, home health, outpatient sports clinics, orthopedic practices, and a small rural hospital.
That breadth of experience,treating patients from post-surgical recovery to elite athletic performance, from aging adults to active adolescents,gave them a rare, complete picture of how the human body works across the full continuum of care.
After returning to Florida and working several more years in an outpatient clinic, they relocated to Texas in 2023. And with fresh perspective came a sharp realization: the system wasn't getting better. Reimbursement rates were declining. One-on-one time was shrinking. Clinician burnout was rising. And patients were still leaving without real answers.
So they did the only thing that made sense: they built something better.
How PhysioMax Works
Three Steps to Getting Your Life Back
01
Evaluate
Your first visit is a thorough, one-on-one evaluation,no aides, no assistants, no split attention. Just you and your physical therapist.
02
Treat
We build a personalized plan that addresses the root cause of your dysfunction using hands-on manual therapy and targeted corrective exercises,not a generic protocol.
03
Empower
We teach you to understand your body, prevent future injuries, and maintain the mobility and strength you've worked for,so you don't end up back here for the same thing.
What's Possible
What Care That Actually Works Looks Like
When you work with PhysioMax, you're not just getting relief from today's pain. You're investing in a body that can keep up with the life you want to live.
- Move through your day without dreading how you'll feel tomorrow
- Understand why your body hurt,and how to keep it from happening again
- Work with the same therapist every visit, someone who knows your history and your goals
- Build real, lasting mobility and strength,not a temporary patch
- Walk out of every session with a clearer picture of your recovery and what comes next
Whether you're a competitive athlete pushing your limits, a parent chasing around young kids, or an older adult determined to stay independent and active,this is care built around you.
Pain that goes unaddressed doesn't stay the same,it compounds. The root cause of today's knee pain can become tomorrow's hip problem. Mobility lost over months is hard to recover over years. The longer the real issue goes untreated, the longer the road back.
You don't have to keep waiting for it to get better on its own.
What Our Clients Say
Real Results From Real People
"Had some pretty severe pain behind my shoulder blade, sharp pain when taking a deep breath and turn my head. Katie was able to diagnose quickly and start treatment immediately. Within a half hour my pain was down 80%. Very professional and highly recommend!"
"Originally Rick was seeing my father in law but after meeting him a few times, I decided to work with him for some issues I was having. Rick addresses the root cause of the problem instead of just treating the symptoms. I like that he explains things to me in a way that I can understand them. I recommend him to people that are not only suffering from injuries, but those looking to prevent future injury as well."
