Our Approach
Why Monarch Is Different
Always 1:1 Care. Never Shared.
Every single session is one-on-one with your Doctor of Physical Therapy. No aides, no techs, no being passed off. Unlike busy insurance-based clinics where you share your therapist with multiple other patients, at Monarch you have our undivided attention from start to finish.
One Location. Everything You Need.
Monarch is your one-stop shop for elite physical therapy, a curated recovery room, and PT-designed group strength training, all under one roof. No bouncing between providers. Just a seamless, intentional path from pain and injury to feeling your strongest.
True Full-Body Approach
We don't chase symptoms. We uncover the root cause. Through comprehensive orthopedic and pelvic floor assessments, we evaluate how your entire body moves, functions, and compensates. Specialized pelvic health care with a whole-body lens.
Rehab to Performance
We regularly integrate hands-on manual therapy techniques, including soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilizations, dry needling, and cupping into our sessions. Paired with individualized strength programming, this approach helps restore resilience and supports a confident return to the activities you love.

Patient Stories
What Our Patients Are Saying
“After my second baby, I was dealing with pelvic pain, leaking, and a core that felt completely foreign to me. I had seen other PTs who barely scratched the surface. From my very first session with Chelsea, I knew this was different. She listened to my whole story, explained everything in a way that finally made sense, and built a plan that was entirely mine. Eight weeks later I was back running, lifting, and feeling stronger than I did before pregnancy. Chelsea genuinely changed my life! And I don't say that lightly. I am forever grateful for her expertise and her heart.”
Sarah M.
Postpartum Recovery Patient
“I cannot say enough about how transformative this experience was. After my hip surgery, I had been through two rounds of PT at other clinics. I was discouraged, frustrated, and honestly starting to believe that this was just my new normal. Chelsea was the complete opposite of everything I had experienced. Every single session was one-on-one, fully focused, and deeply intentional. She explained the why behind every exercise, held me accountable, and pushed me exactly as hard as I needed to be pushed. Six months post-op, I was back on the mountain. The quality of care here is in a completely different league, and the confidence I've gained in my body is something I'll carry with me forever. I wish I had found her years ago.”
Jennifer L.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
“For three years I kept getting injured and no one could tell me why. Chelsea was the first provider who actually dug in. She identified the root cause within our FIRST session and built a plan completely specific to my body! The hands-on treatment was unlike anything I’d experienced before. The dry needling and cupping weren’t just add-ons, they were targeted, intentional, and directly addressed what was driving my injury. For the first time, I didn’t just feel better temporarily. I felt genuinely fixed. I just crossed the finish line of my first half marathon completely pain-free. Chelsea didn’t just treat my injury, she gave me long-lasting results I’d stopped believing were possible.”
