Physical therapy that gets to the cause
One-on-one, hands-on care from the same licensed therapist at every visit — covered by your insurance and scheduled within 48 hours of your referral.

Recovery is what we’ve done since 1989
The Therapy Institute is a therapist-owned private practice — not a hospital department, not a physician-owned clinic. That independence matters: your plan of care is written by the licensed physical therapist who treats you, evaluated on one standard only — measurable results.
Many treatments mask symptoms. Ours start with a thorough biomechanical evaluation to identify the actual cause of your pain, then a customized plan to fix it: hands-on manual techniques, targeted therapeutic exercise, and the education you need to keep the problem from coming back.
We accept most major insurance plans — including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Priority Health, Medicare, Aetna, McLaren, and many more — plus Workers’ Compensation and auto claims. We verify your coverage before your first visit, so there are no surprises. Wondering how insurance-based care compares to our direct-pay options? See the side-by-side comparison.
Our Haslett Road clinic is minutes from East Lansing, Okemos, and Williamston, with easy access from Bath and DeWitt — most patients drive less than 15 minutes for an appointment.
