WHO GETS THE BEST RESULTS
|
ATHLETES
From CrossFit to tennis to triathlons, although the sport of choice may vary, the frustration and agony of limited mobility, injury, and pain are the same. As athletes ourselves, we understand and are committed to getting you back to your peak performance as soon and as safely as possible. Using cutting-edge therapy, collaboration with local gyms/boxes, and individualized plans, we work towards stronger more resilient bodies. |
YOUTH ATHLETES
Kids today train hard. There's no doubt that the physical demands put on youth athletes today is rigorous. And as youth athletes go through their athletic development, they need a coach and medical practioner that understands what they are going through. They need someone who understands how to reduce the risk of injury and start building resilience and strength so they can perform at their best and recover like a professional athletes. |
ACTIVE LIFESTYLE
You may not necessarily identify with being an athlete per say, but you are active! At least you were before limited mobility or injury slowed you down. Whether it’s taking the dogs for their evening walk, keeping up with kiddos, going to the gym, or getting in a round of golf on the weekends, you deserve to do them pain-free. You were made to move, and we are here to help you get back to that active lifestyle you love. |
The Iron Rx Difference
Our team believes you can achieve anything through the right medical care, movement practice, and lifestyle changes. To accomplish all this, we are big on bringing it back to basics. Our current medical environment is quick to tell us that we are broken and can only be fixed by pills, shots or surgery. Iron Rx is here to show you that there is another way. Your body has the amazing ability to heal itself, to adapt and to survive in any environment. We just need to get out of our own way. The path back to our healthiest self is not through canned approaches and outdated methods, such as ice packs, therabands, and stationary bikes. This one-dimensional strategy is rampant in traditional, third-party-pay physical therapy practices – you’ll soon see our tactics are delightfully different! Iron Rx is a private-pay (cash-based) rehab and performance center.

Break it Down:
Cash-Based Model Defined
Iron Rx chooses (emphasis on this being an intentional decision) a cash-based model for our practice. In a cash-based treatment model, your Iron Rx therapist enters into an agreement with you to provide physical therapy services in a manner that both parties have decided upon (AKA: FULL TRANSPARENCY with no surprise bills 3 months in) to help you reach your treatment goals most efficiently.
You will pay at the time of service. This model allows us to focus on providing direct, one-on-one care, while keeping administrative costs low. You may pay for services using actual cash, a check, a credit/debit card, or with your HSA.
In some instances, you may also personally file for reimbursement from your insurance company to curb your out-of-pocket expense. Most insurance companies, with the exception of Medicare, Medicaid and some HMOs, will provide reimbursement for services received “out of network”. We can help you with this process.
Cash-based does not mean our team is short on the education, qualifications and accreditations necessary to provide you with best-in-class medical care.
We blend unique backgrounds in strength, conditioning, and human performance to go well beyond rehab and help you live your happiest, healthiest life.

The Doc
Dr. Ben Burkett
Physical Therapist
Ben graduated from the University of Indianapolis with his Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Ben understands that working out, running, playing sports, or participating in other recreational activities is more than just something you do, but who you are! Through working with patients and his own personal experience with injuries, Ben knows the void that injuries can create when you cannot participate in the things you love. He also know the importance of being able to return to doing those activities at the highest level possible. He has a firsthand experience in what it is like to receive inadequate rehabilitation and therapy. During his undergraduate career playing basketball for Wabash College, Ben injured his back leaving him unable to play for an extended period of time. The guidance he was given by the healthcare providers he worked with to rehabilitate his injury was to rest for two weeks, ice/heat, and stretch. This method eventually worked to get him back on the court, but he was far from his prior level of performance due to limitations from the lack of an active rehab process. Since he was only prescribed with mostly passive treatment techniques, instead of more effective, movement-based forms of rehab, Ben had to work for months to regain mobility, strength, and confidence in his body to perform at the level he always had. Ben doesn't want you to receive the inadequate care he experienced and deal with nagging injuries like he has to due to that subpar care.
Ben appreciates the fact that injuries are not only physical problem, but can also result in significant mental limitations as well. Returning to sports or activities after an injury can be mentally debilitating, especially in the case of a traumatic injury such as a broken bone, joint dislocation, or torn ACL. During his academic career, Ben studied Sport and Exercise Psychology at Ball State University and graduated with his Master's degree so that he can no only help you get through the physical rehab, but to guide you through overcoming the mental hurdles you might experience as well.
Ben's experience with injury and outdated treatment techniques is why he is dedicated to providing you with the highest level of care to keep you training and competing without pain or limitations.
