Purpose Physical Therapy and Wellness

Purpose Physical Therapy and Wellness Our purpose: To serve, care, lead, and empower those in our community one person at a time.

Our mission is to help you achieve the ultimate human experience by enhancing physical capacity, optimizing health and performance, and instilling confidence with aging. Over 75% of people look for a 'partnership' with their healthcare providers to decide on best treatment. We understand the importance of this patient-provider relationship when it comes to YOUR health. One of the greatest frustrations patient's report with healthcare today in the US is that they feel rushed in their appointments and they don't feel heard. Our doctors of PT will spend a full hour each one-on-one session to make sure you are listened to and understood.

“I couldn’t feel my toes for over a year… now I can feel the turf.”

That’s Jason’s story — and it’s only been 3 weeks of using the Neubie ⚡

When he first came to Purpose Physical Therapy:
❌ No feeling in his feet
❌ No stability
❌ No confidence walking

After a few focused sessions:
✅ Feeling returning to both feet
✅ Improved balance & movement
✅ He’s walking easier and safer than he has in years

This is what real neuropathy recovery can look like when you combine:
🔬 Skilled care
⚡ Cutting-edge tech (Neubie by )
🧩 A personalized plan

Jason says it best:“100% recommend this to anyone with neuropathy.”

If you’re dealing with numbness, tingling, or instability — this could be your next step forward.

PM us or text “Neubie” 417-453-2544 to get started.

Purpose

You don’t have to disrupt your lifestyle in order to change your life. When Dr. Ken started Purpose PT, it was with the goal of introducing a new kind of physical therapy model to our community: one that’s developed with each patient’s lifestyle in mind. We believe that your physical therapy plan should be tailor-made to fit every facet of your life: your physical needs, your schedule, and your location. Our concierge plan makes it easy for you to fit life-changing physical therapy sessions into your day-to-day life. After all, flexibility is in our job description.
