Every patient who walks through my door deserves my full attention, my full expertise, and my full hour. That's not a luxury. That's how physical therapy is supposed to work.

Dana's Journey
Division I Athlete
Competed on the soccer team at Miami University of Ohio, learning firsthand what it means to train hard, push through injury, and trust the recovery process.
Northwestern University DPT
Earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from one of the top programs in the country, with deep training in orthopedic and sports rehabilitation.
Board Certified Specialist
Achieved the Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) certification, a distinction held by only 9% of physical therapists nationwide.
Pelvic Health Specialty
After experiencing symptoms of her own several years ago, Dana saw how much pelvic floor and orthopedic care overlap. She has been adding to her training for these patients ever since, and pelvic health is now one of the specialties of the practice.
Founded Reform PT
Dana opened Reform to practice the way she believes care should work: one patient at a time, a full hour of her attention, and a plan built around that person and their goals.

Jess Kytle
Administrative Assistant
Jess is the Administrative Assistant at Reform PT. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology, and she moved to the area from Georgia three years ago after marrying her husband. A passion for the physical therapy field and for helping others has been with her the whole way.
Outside of work she loves to travel, try lots of good food, and get lost in a good book. She is also a part-time birth and postpartum doula, which has deepened her passion for supporting moms and babies.
Jess first worked alongside Dana in the fall of 2023, at a different company. Dana’s genuine love, compassion, and dedication to her patients were some of the biggest reasons Jess was so excited to join Reform PT when the opportunity came. She is grateful to be part of a team that truly cares about its patients and is passionate about making a difference in their lives.
Why cash-based?
Insurance-based PT clinics have a problem: insurance companies decide how many visits you get, how long each session is, and which treatments are “approved.” That means your therapist is working within someone else's limits, not yours.
At Reform, there are no insurance limitations. Dana designs your treatment plan based on what you actually need, not what a claims adjuster will authorize. Sessions are longer. Care is more thorough. And you don't waste weeks waiting for pre-authorization.
Many patients find that cash-based PT actually costs less overall because they need fewer total visits to reach their goals. And we provide superbills so you can submit for out-of-network reimbursement if your plan covers it.
