What Our Patients Say
"Tom is so helpful! He takes time to listen and talk to you, and then is very clear with his instructions and help. I only needed to see him twice and my issue was cleared up! The at-home exercises were easy and helpful. I still do them!"
Danae H
"I chose Tom for my physical therapy after having my knee replaced and I'm so glad I did. You can tell he has a lot of knowledge and experience in this field, which makes him easy to trust and work with. I highly recommend him!"
Caleb W.
"Knowledge, and highly skilled. Tom diagnosed and fixed a problem with my hip that I had seen many other doctors and PTs for over the years with no success.

Thais G.
"As a runner I’ve come across many different injuries, to which Dr. Miller has done a fantastic job to help speed up the healing process.

"My family and I have worked with Tom Miller for various therapy issues, knee and shoulders, etc., for several years now. He came highly recommended to us and we have found this to be great advice. Tom is very knowledgeable and focused During therapy sessions, and we also appreciate his flexibility when scheduling issues come up. We highly recommend Tom Miller for your physical therapy needs."
Richard C.
"From day one, Tom was professional, compassionate, and hopeful about getting me to a better place physically. He designed a program for me that I can do for free, at home, in accord with my family's schedule. Within several months of my first appointment, I was amazed at how much stronger, stabler, and more confident I felt going through my day, not worried about hurting myself. The difference was really astounding."
Kelsie E.
"Really grateful for Tom's care and expertise and recommend him without reservation. He has helped assess and create plans for both my daughter (competitive Irish dancer) and myself (endurance runner). He is thorough, thoughtful, and had us both back to competing quickly, strongly, and without pain."
Cathlin S.
"Tom is so helpful! He takes time to listen and talk to you, and then is very clear with his instructions and help. I only needed to see him twice and my issue was cleared up! The at-home exercises were easy and helpful. I still do them!"
Danae H
"I chose Tom for my physical therapy after having my knee replaced and I'm so glad I did. You can tell he has a lot of knowledge and experience in this field, which makes him easy to trust and work with. I highly recommend him!"
Caleb W.
"Knowledge, and highly skilled. Tom diagnosed and fixed a problem with my hip that I had seen many other doctors and PTs for over the years with no success. Tim fixed it quickly and two years later it’s still fixed. Down to earth and practical with his advice and prescriptions, he gave me an achievable exercise program to do at home that I could actually stick with."
Thais G.
"As a runner I’ve come across many different injuries, to which Dr. Miller has done a fantastic job to help speed up the healing process. He diagnosed and treated my Achilles tendons after injury, as well as my shin splints, and multiple aches or small tears in tendons in my feet. I appreciate his goal of spending less time in the Drs. Office, while getting you on the road of recovery ASAP!"
Danis V.
"Tom is fantastic. Can’t say enough good things about him. We really appreciate his philosophy as well as his skill and personality and he’s great with the kids as well taking the time to educate them."
Trent F
"I was in pain for almost a year when I was referred to Tom by my doctor. After 4-5 appointments over several weeks and doing the exercises he gave me, my hip pain is gone!"
Kelly D.
"Can highly recommend Direct Physical Therapy - Tom is thorough and really helped!!"
Mark B.
"Tom is a trustworthy man with years of experience in PT."
David S.
"Tom has been a huge help with my kids and their sports related injuries. Very knowledgeable, kind and compassionate, and thorough with his treatment. Highly recommend!"
Christy M.
"I met with Tom Miller back a few years ago when I had injured my shoulder. He knew exactly the exercises and range of motion activities I should do at home to regain strength and flexibility. Same thing when I had a problem with a tight hamstring. Tom Miller takes the time to listen to his patients. Very professional. Highly recommend. I wouldn’t go anywhere else."

Why have a cash-based physical therapy practice?
The delivery of health care in the US has changed a great deal over the last couple of decades, and the field of physical therapy has been greatly impacted by these changes. These changes, in no small part, include how services are charged, paid for and reimbursed to the person receiving those services. The number of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) offered by employers have risen dramatically; from 1.5 million accounts in 2005 to 21 million in 2015, and more recently to 37 million in 2023. In the case of one of these accounts, you are in control of how your health care dollars are spent, and many people elect to use services based in their community that are outside the usual facilities and structures. There are also many individuals and families that have opted out of the traditional insurance model due to the prohibitive costs involved in some policies, and are participating in health-care sharing ministries and other non-traditional payment arrangements.
Why not just take insurance?
When physical therapy services are a covered benefit under an insurance plan, this is often a blessing to the patient, but there can be many hidden costs: the original premiums, co-payments, deductables and high out-of-pocket limits being the most obvious. Co-pays in particular have risen dramatically, with an average approaching $50 per appointment, and occasions of as much as $75 or more per physical therapy visit becoming more common. This means that you, as the person seeking physical therapy services, needs to be aware that services are seldom ‘free’, and you should be an aware consumer of how much a service is actually costing you. In addition, the insurance industry does exert some influence on the time, types of treatment, frequency and duration that a physical therapy program is allowed to perform...or at least have paid for. At Direct PT we have elected to leave more of these decisions in the hands of the therapist, as well as being free to take into consideration the needs and desires of the patient and their physician.
Do I need a physician referral to set up physical therapy?
No, the state of Idaho allows direct access to properly licensed physical therapists. The therapist is responsible for assessing you in your initial visit, and may recommend that you see your doctor first if they suspect a more involved medical issue.
