I had a great experience working with Kyle. He is incredibly thorough and professional, while still being down-to-earth, personable, and realistic in his approach. He took the time to walk me through his assessments, explain what he was finding, and—most importantly—explain what those findings actually meant in a way that was easy to understand. I never felt rushed, and I really appreciated that his recommendations felt practical and individualized rather than like a one-size-fits-all treatment plan. The facility itself is also excellent and has everything needed right on site. I would absolutely recommend Kyle and ActiveRx to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, thoughtful, and approachable physical therapist.

I was having knee pain from playing pickleball. Dr. Kyle performed dry needling on the knee and almost instantly the pain was reduced. In addition, he recommended several exercises and stretches I should use on a daily basis to increase strength and mobility!

First time having to do physical therapy for anything and it was for a frozen shoulder. Kyle and Lisa came up with an exercise program focused on the problem. After just a few visits my range of motion had already started to increase. They constantly added new exercises to continue to improve shoulder’s movement. I’m nearing the end of treatment and can honestly say my shoulder is near 100%. They were great to work with throughout this process, listened to concerns and would adjust exercises based off your current status. I know if I ever need anything like this in the future I’ll be in great hands with them.

Dr. Kyle was kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. He got me realigned and gave me at-home exercises that helped keep me that way!

I’ve been working with Dr. Kyle on mobility and strength training specifically for my golf game, and the results have been outstanding. He takes a very personalized approach, identifying and addressing the specific aches, pains, and limitations in my body rather than using a one-size-fits-all program. Each session leaves me feeling stronger, more flexible, and better prepared to perform. I’ve also noticed a huge improvement in my recovery, which has made a big difference both on and off the course. If you’re serious about improving your performance and taking care of your body the right way, I highly recommend working with Dr. Kyle.

Highly recommend Active Rx! I came in with back misalignment and noticeable discomfort, and they helped get everything back on track. They took the time to explain what was going on and adjusted treatment based on how I was feeling. My back feels so much better now. Definitely someone who knows what they’re doing and genuinely cares about their patients.

Kyle and his team have always been generous with their time, volunteering to provide services during special fitness events and competitions. They have helped me with calf soreness and foot pain over the years. He made dry needling as painless and anxiety free as I could have hoped for. They have always been kind and welcoming. I highly recommend using them if you are an active person experiencing some sort of issue.

I was struggling after finishing a Hyrox comp so I tried out the compression boots from Active Rx. Kyle talked me through the process and was super helpful. The boots are amazing and brought me back to life. Perfect for recovery.

When I first met with Dr. Kyle I was experiencing chronic pain effecting my daily life making everyday tasks very difficult. My physical health was so poor that my mental health was also affected. Dr. Kyle listened, and carefully constructed a plan that has given me my life back! I wasn’t able to hold my child without severe pain, thanks to Dr. Kyle, I now can and my daughter has her Dad back. I seriously cannot thank him enough!

First off I would just like to say wow. Kyle's philosophy as a doctor is exactly how the whole medical system should be. This guy actually really cares about his patients and is super informative and lays it all out for you. Now comes the skill. My very first experience has been dry needling because I yanked my back pretty good and my wife said "you're goign to see this guy". So I went and the good doctor found more than one problem area immediately. The process took maybe 15 minutes at most and I felt like a new man the next day. 10/10 will definitely be back.

Love the approach Kyle takes! I've been coming here for almost a month now after being in really serious pain for alignment issues ( and my previous PT closing, went a couple of months with out treatment). Kyle takes his time and id really thoughtful about how to approach my issues. He explains everything he's doing and why. Highly recommend!

Called and met with Kyle, he is very accommodating to my active schedule and fit me in multiple times. The best is he is willing to listen to what is going on and help to fix my problems. I personally had dry needling done in multiple areas. He by far is the best I have come across, I will continue to go back when I need to. I have recommended him and Active RX to many people they also have had nothing but good to say after seeing Kyle. He is very good!

I’ve been going to Active RX for a few months and have been impressed with their approach to my knee pain. This is the first time I’ve been to PT where they not only treated the initial reason for the visit, but focused on the root cause of the chronic problem. Both Kyle and Lisa have been great to work with and I’m looking forward to getting stronger all around. Check them out if you’re tired of just getting the temporary bandaid treatment you’re used to.

I am an amateur boxer who is very serious about my health and takes care of my body to the highest extent. However, one day I thought I hyperextended my elbow at practice and I worked the trainer at a respectable gym as well as several others outside of the gym for two months and my injury kept reoccurring. I decided to go to Dr. Kyle Hrutkay at Active Rx and he was able to identify the root cause of my injury. We began the healing process with dry needling along with stim and physical therapy. I have had multiple sessions with him and I feel one hundred times better after each session. He is a true professional and I highly recommend him to everyone. 10/10 experience. Thank you Dr. Kyle.

I just received my second dry needling for low back and hip pain that I've had for years. The first session was for my lower back and I felt relief right after the session! The second was for the hips and groin area. They also showed me exersizes to do at home to help stretch and strengthen muscles. I've been sleeping MUCH better and last night I slept the night thru, that hasn't happened in a long time. I highly recommend sessions with Active RX.

Recently had dry needling done and I was genuinely amazed by the results. I was having pain through my neck and upper back. Within minutes of the session, the discomfort was almost completely gone. The relief was immediate and far beyond what I expected! Kyle was very knowledgeable and explained the process clearly, making me feel at ease throughout. I highly recommend dry needling to anyone dealing with chronic or acute muscle pain—this treatment made a noticeable difference right away.

I was having foot pain and kyle did dry needling on my foot and results were immediate! A few weeks later I decided to go see him to have needling for my low back pain as I have been battling sciatica as well. He is so knowledgeable and caring! I would recommend him to all my friends and family! Go check out Active RX!
FAQs

Everything You Need to Know About Active Exercise & Functional Training

Choosing a physical therapist based only on whether they're "in-network" doesn't always lead to the best care. Instead, ask yourself these three questions:

  • Does the therapist specialize in treating my condition? Just as you wouldn't hire a divorce attorney for a car accident case, you shouldn't choose a therapist whose expertise doesn't match your needs.
  • Does the clinic have the right environment for my recovery? Active Rx Rehab & Wellness is designed specifically for athletes and active adults. Our clinics are located inside TriPoint Athletics, giving patients access to more than 5,000 square feet of training space and state-of-the-art rehabilitation equipment.
  • Will I receive one-on-one care? Some high-volume outpatient clinics schedule multiple patients with one therapist at the same time. Our focus is individualized treatment, allowing you to receive dedicated attention throughout your visit.

Not necessarily. Depending on your insurance plan and deductible, paying directly for physical therapy can sometimes be comparable to—or even less than—the out-of-pocket costs of using insurance.

Many insurance plans have high deductibles that must be met before benefits begin. At Active Rx Rehab, our goal is to provide exceptional value through longer appointments, individualized care, and treatment that focuses on solving the root cause of your pain.

 

Your initial evaluation at Active Rx Rehab lasts 75 minutes, giving your Doctor of Physical Therapy the time needed to:

  • Perform a comprehensive evaluation
  • Identify the underlying cause of your pain or injury
  • Begin treatment during the same visit whenever appropriate
  • Develop a personalized recovery plan
  • Answer your questions so you leave understanding your condition and the next steps

Our approach emphasizes education, movement, and long-term recovery—not simply managing symptom

Patients often choose Active Rx because they value:

  • One-on-one care with a Doctor of Physical Therapy
  • Longer appointment times
  • Individualized treatment plans
  • Access to advanced rehabilitation equipment
  • A performance-focused environment designed for athletes and active adults
  • Personalized attention without feeling rushed

We strive to deliver a premium, "white-glove" experience where every patient receives focused, high-quality care.

 

 

Out-of-network simply means you choose the provider you want instead of being limited to providers selected by your insurance company.

Many insurance plans still provide out-of-network benefits, which may reimburse a portion of your physical therapy expenses depending on your policy. Our team can help you understand your benefits and explain your available options.

 

Yes. In most cases, Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) can be used to pay for qualified physical therapy services.

Using HSA or FSA funds allows you to pay for healthcare with pre-tax dollars, which can reduce your overall healthcare costs. We can also provide documentation if needed for reimbursement.

Many insurance plans offer out-of-network benefits. Depending on your individual plan, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement after submitting your claim.

Our staff can help explain your options and provide the documentation you need for reimbursement.

Cash-based physical therapy is often an excellent option for people who want:

  • Faster access to care without waiting for referrals (when permitted by state law)
  • Longer, one-on-one appointments
  • Highly specialized treatment
  • Personalized rehabilitation plans
  • A greater focus on long-term recovery and performance rather than simply treating symptoms

If you value individualized care and want a treatment plan built around your goals, cash-based physical therapy may be the right choice.
