Physical therapy in Katy, one-on-one
Knee replacements, bad backs, sore shoulders and sports injuries. Every visit is a full hour with your physical therapist, not a rotation of aides.
In Texas you can start physical therapy without a referral for up to 10 business days. We check your insurance before your first visit.

If it hurts when you move, start here
We'll tell you after the first visit whether PT is the right fit, and how many visits it should take.

Started by a therapist who wanted more time per patient
Dr. Marcus Hale spent ten years at a high-volume clinic where each therapist saw three patients an hour. He opened Northline in 2019 so he could see one.
There are three therapists now. You keep the same one for your whole plan, and they write your notes themselves.
You do the work at home, we keep it short
Most home programs take 15 minutes. You get them on paper and as short videos, and we change them as you get stronger.
- A resistance band and a printed plan at your first visit
- Videos of each exercise, filmed in our clinic
- A check-in call a month after your last visit
