Max NormanIf you’ve ever tried to tough out an injury, you’d know it doesn’t end well. I learned this the hard way after pulling my back while helping my mum unload groceries from her trunk. Who’d have guessed that a harmless-looking bag of vegetables would be the one to take me out?
After months of discomfort and far too much self-medicating, I finally caved and started looking for the best physical therapy clinics in Oklahoma City. I was determined never to let a bag of produce humble me again.
What surprised me was just how many brilliant physiotherapists OKC has. The best part? They’re the kind who genuinely change the recovery game. So whether you’re dealing with desk-job back pain or arthritis flare-ups, here are Oklahoma City’s top PT clinics trusted by locals.
How much do physical therapy clinics in Oklahoma City charge?
A single physical therapy session in Oklahoma City starts from $45, while typical private, self-pay sessions range from $70 to $160, without insurance. Though Oklahoma City is a direct access state, you can see a PT for up to 30 days without needing a doctor’s referral, making treatment easier and more affordable.
1. Prime Physical Therapy
Address: 4440 Northwest Expy, Oklahoma City, OK 73116
Phone: +1 405-749-6281
Email: [email protected]
Business hours:
- Monday & Friday: 8 AM – 6 PM
- Tuesday & Wednesday: 8 AM – 7 PM
- Thursday: 8 AM – 6 PM
Prime Physical Therapy is a true all-rounder, offering a wide range of physical therapy options, from sports recovery to post-surgery rehab. Best of all, no referral is needed, so you can skip the paperwork and extra doctor visits, and just book a session and then walk right in.
Speaking of, sessions run about 75 minutes, a bit longer than most clinics, which we love because it allows for more hands-on treatment and personalized care tailored to your needs.
But here’s the hitch: with their solid reputation, demand is high, which can leave patients waiting for appointments. Weekend closure adds to the challenge, so booking well in advance is highly recommended.
On the bright side, we appreciate their highly professional and supportive staff, making rehab far more manageable and the clinic an overall conducive place for recovery.
Very pleasant, knowledgeable and professional
“I went through physical therapy at Prime Physical Therapy, with Jason and Chelsea after joint replacement on my big toe. When I first started therapy, I could barely walk, could only wear a house shoe, had to order groceries online, and was barely able to cook for myself. That was 2 months ago. Now, I’m able to walk MUCH better, wear sneakers, grocery shop and prepare my meals. All my questions and concerns were immediately addressed with concern and care. Jason and Chelsea are very pleasant, knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend Prime Physical Therapy and will definitely go back if I ever need to.”
“I have been going to Prime Physical therapy for about 8 weeks now and I have had a remarkable experience. I have RA and have been dealing with constant chronic pain for 4 years and now I’ve finally found some relief! Jeff is an amazing therapist and I absolutely recommend anyone to come here for all your PT needs.”
2. Physical Therapy Central
Address: 815 NW 12th St, Oklahoma City, OK 73106
Phone: +1 405-231-5800
Business hours: Monday to Friday: 7:30 AM – 7 PM
Physical Therapy Central sits right in Midtown, making it an easy stop; just hop off the underground metro and you’re practically there. Another plus is that it’s open from 7:30 AM to 7PM, a schedule that works well for trying to fit therapy around work or daily commitments.
We also appreciate the range of PT services offered, like lymphedema to chronic pain care. For us, it’s a win that you can get comprehensive treatment without hopping between clinics.
However, some of their sessions lean heavily on tech-guided exercises, which may feel underwhelming if you want a more hands-on experience and one-on-one attention.
What’s great, though, is that the staff are consistently helpful and professional, with many patients reporting noticeable improvements after just a couple of sessions.
Unfortunately, we did notice occasional overbooking due to the clinic’s demand and limited space, so it’s best to book your appointments well in advance.
His expertise has helped me regain mobility
“I have been working with Jacob and his expertise has helped me regain mobility. He asks about movements that cause me difficulty at home and we focus on my improvement in those areas as well as the exercises and stretches for my overall benefit.”
Knows how to listen to your body and read the unspoken cues
“This place has all of the cool toys and exercise aids a patient could ever want. The staff knows what to do and work like a well oiled machine. Alex is the most amazing Therapist. She really knows how to listen to your body and read the unspoken cues during your session. I’ve rotated through all of the therapist on staff and I can honestly say that this team is intentional with their attention to detail and care. The place is clean, efficient, and above all a fun atmosphere. I don’t really leave a lot of reviews, but when you get top notch treatment, I think that you’re responsible for acknowledging the work. Good job team.”
3. FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers
Address: 7415 N May Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73116
Phone: +1 405-400-8909
Business hours: Monday to Friday: 8 AM – 5 PM
Led by Drs. Sean and Lauren Peterson, FYZICAL is focused on individualized treatment plans and hands-on care. We like their combination of advanced technology and personalized strategies to relieve pain, rebuild strength, and boost mobility.
In fact, they’re best known for their pelvic floor therapy, a key yet often overlooked area of PT that can make a real difference, whether it’s speeding post-partum recovery or simply improving stability and strength to prevent injuries in athletes.
A small caveat, though: their hours are limited, from 8 AM to 5 PM on weekdays only. This can make booking appointments for working patients a challenge to squeeze in therapy. The upside is their telehealth services, which are a big plus if you can’t make it.
Even with the minor drawbacks, the warm, well-maintained environment ensures you feel at ease during every visit.
Really improved my way of living pain free
“FYZICAL therapy and balance center really has helped me love my life! Working with the therapist Dr. Lauren and PTA Annette has really improved my way of living pain free. They are all very welcoming and greet you with a smile, from front desk to Doctor and assistants in the back. My PTA, Annette was always super and sweet patient through all of my appointments! Especially when I had to bring both of my kiddos with me when I had no one to babysit them at home. I totally recommend them! Thank you FYZICAL therapy and balance center.”
Best in the area
“Amazing team and office. I love the care and detail they provide for all my PT needs. As someone who has blown an acl twice i know the importance of PT and these guys are the best in the area!”
4. Oklahoma Physical Therapy
Address: 10325 Greenbriar Pl Suite B, Oklahoma City, OK 73159
Phone: +1 405-759-7719
Email: [email protected]
Business hours:
- Monday & Thursday: 8 AM – 7 PM
- Tuesday: 8 AM – 8 PM
- Wednesday: 8 AM – 6 PM
- Friday: 8:30 AM – 5 PM
Oklahoma Physical Therapy is one of the most highly rated clinics in the city with strong patient satisfaction. We like their broad range of therapy services under one roof, from specialized modalities like cupping to traditional orthopedic rehab.
Their “About the Team” section is also a small but handy touch, making it easy to see who’s who and pick a therapist that clicks with you.
Though, they may not be ideal if you need weekend or late evening appointments, as their hours only extend into evenings on certain weekdays. Hence, this can be tricky if you work a more traditional 9 to 5 schedule.
Even so, making an appointment is easy through their website. Plus, aside from South OKC, they’ve got additional locations in Norman and Noble, so you’ve got the flexibility in choosing the clinic most convenient for you.
Knowledgeable and kind
“I’ve been coming here for pelvic floor therapy after giving birth, and Kaitlyn is the best! She is knowledgeable and kind, and she is able to explain/ demonstrate every exercise well. Not only that, but sometimes I need to bring my newborn with me and she has always encouraged me to do so. She has even fed and held my baby while I do my exercises. If my baby is crying or happy, Kaitlyn always is willing to help out while I do my PT. When I thanked her, she said that it is important for moms to get the care they need. This type of attitude makes such a difference in not only making physical therapy accessible for a new mom like me, but also a welcoming and safe environment for my baby.”
Absolutely the best
“Absolutely amazing people! Kaitlyn was my physical therapist, and she was absolutely the best. Very kind and patient, she helped me recover in about a year, and gave me some exercises to take home after the sessions were over. My pelvic floor has never felt better, and I owe it all to her. I’m able to exercise again and have a normal life. Very professional the whole time.
Truly grateful, thank you once again, Kaitlyn! ❤️”
5. Heinen Physical Therapy
Address: 7712 N May Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73116
Phone: +1 405-256-8699
Business hours: Monday to Friday: 8 AM – 6 PM
What we like most about Heinen Physical Therapy is how much importance they give initial evaluations. As the start of your therapy journey, this is what sets the stage for a personalized treatment plan from the very beginning.
We like that this can be seen in how their therapists take plenty of time with each session and are constantly updating treatment based on your needs.
Another standout is how much time therapists dedicate to each session, adapting care as you progress and empowering patients by explaining the causes of pain and sharing exercises you can do at home.
Although their standard hours are 8 AM to 6 PM on weekdays, we appreciate that other times are available by appointment, which is great for those who need extra flexibility.
Do note that not all insurances are accepted, so confirming coverage before starting is the way to go to avoid incurring out-of-pocket fees.
Would not hesitate to go back
“A neighbor recommended that I see Dr. Brice Heinen for my PT after my meniscus root repair surgery back in June. Glad I took her advice. While I primarily worked with Dr. Heinen, I also saw Garrett several times and received the same excellent care. When I went in, my range of motion was limited, and I was dealing with a variety of additional issues as a result of having been non weight bearing for six weeks post-surgery. But every week brought small steps toward progress, and after four months I feel like I’m not just back to where I was before surgery but better, thanks to Dr. Heinen’s expertise. I would not hesitate to go back if any future issues should crop up.”
Shocked by how quickly the treatments worked
“Heinen was fantastic!!! I came in with some pain and mobility issues in my neck and shoulder. Brice quickly identified the source of my pain and immediately created a plan for improvement. I was shocked by how quickly the treatments worked. The entire staff was friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. They not only told me which movements to do, but also why those movements were important and how they affected my body. On a completely different level, I had to bring my daughter with me to an appointment, and the practitioners who weren’t working with me made it a point to check on her throughout the appointment. I cannot recommend Heinen Physical Therapy enough.”
