FAQs
how it works
What is outcome-based physical therapy?
It is the core of what we do. Outcome-based physical therapy is a results-driven approach to care that starts with your goals, not just your pain. Instead of focusing only on symptom relief, we ask what you want to get back to doing — whether that’s running a race, lifting confidently, or keeping up with your kids — and build your plan around measurable progress toward that outcome. Your treatment is active, personalized, and designed to improve what you can actually do, not just how you feel in the moment. Every decision, from what we work on to how often you come in, is guided by one question: are you moving closer to your goal?
How do you decide which program is the right length for me?
Your PT makes that recommendation at the end of your initial evaluation, once they have a complete picture of your history, your movement, and your goals. The program length is based on what your body and your outcome actually require, not what sounds like a comfortable commitment. We never recommend more care than you need. If your situation only requires a handful of visits, we will tell you that.
Can I do just one or two visits instead of committing to a program?
For most injuries, no, and we'll tell you that honestly. Tissue healing takes time, and it can be optimized when the right stress/load is managed. Outcomes suffer when care is fragmented or cut short. A single session or a running gait analysis is available when the situation calls for it. If your injury only needs one or two visits, we will say so. We never recommend more care than you need.
the financial side
Do you take my insurance?
We do not contract with any insurance company. Insurance reimbursement models force clinicians to see more volume in less time, divide sessions between multiple providers, and follow standardized protocols regardless of what you actually need. We built be.dynamic specifically to do the opposite. Every session is 1:1 with your PT, for the full time, with a plan built entirely around you. When you add up co-pays, split sessions, and the extra visits a fragmented model often creates, the true out-of-pocket cost of a traditional clinic is closer to ours than most people expect. The outcome isn't even close.
Can I use my HSA or FSA?
Yes! All of our services are HSA and FSA eligible. If you have funds available, this is one of the best uses for them. We are also a CareCredit authorized provider.
Do I need a referral from my physician?
Nope! Although we encourage physician involvement, you do not need a referral in order to be evaluated and treated by a Physical Therapist.
your first visit and beyond
Who will I work with?
We match you to the right PT based on what you do — runners work with Tillie, climbers work with Nick, active adults and new moms work with Brooke. If you are a barbell athlete or youth athlete, you will get paired with Tillie or Brooke. That match starts on the introductory call; it's how we make sure you're with the right person from the very first visit. Whatever your sport or activity, you're going to someone who gets it. And whoever that is, they're yours for the full program.
What happens on the intro call?
It is a free 15-minute call with a PT. You share what is going on, your PT listens and asks the right questions, and gives you an honest read on whether be.dynamic is the right next step. If it is, you book your eval before you hang up. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you that and point you somewhere that is.
What does my first in-person visit look like?
Your initial evaluation is 90 minutes. Your PT takes a thorough history, performs a comprehensive movement screen, and uses clinical-grade strength testing tools to get a precise picture of where you are. At the end of the eval, they walk you through what they found, what it will take to reach your goals, and recommend the right program. You leave with a clear plan of care, your first exercises already uploaded to your portal, and a follow-up email summarizing everything discussed.
is this right for me? common questions before committing.
I travel a lot and have an unpredictable schedule. Can this still work?
Yes, and this is exactly who our programs are built for. We pivot to telehealth when you're traveling, stay connected through text, and your exercise program lives in your portal so progress doesn't stop when you're on the road. Busy, high-performing people with unpredictable schedules are our most common clients.
I'm not sure I'm "athletic enough" for be.dynamic. Is this really for me?
If you run, lift, hike, climb, chase kids, or do anything that matters to your body and your life, you are an everyday athlete. You don't have to be elite to deserve a real game plan. The people who find us are the ones who refuse to accept pain as permanent, and who are tired of being handed generic advice or told to just rest. That's who we built this for.
I've tried PT before, and it didn't work. Why would this be different?
It is different because the model is different. In a traditional clinic, you might spend an hour in the building but only 15 to 30 minutes with your PT, and that time often split between multiple people. You follow a protocol built for your diagnosis, not for you.
At be.dynamic, every session is 1:1 with your PT, for the full time. We have the time to find the root cause, build a plan around your specific body and goals, and actually see you through to the outcome we set out to achieve together. Most clients who come to us have already been through the system. It is exactly the situation we were built to solve.
What do I need to commit to in order for this to work?
Your exercises between visits are not optional. They are where a significant portion of your progress happens. You also need to be open to the process and honest with your PT about how things are going. We have never had a client who did the work and didn't get results, and we only take clients we genuinely believe we can help.
How is be.dynamic different from a regular PT clinic?
We are PT, delivered differently. The difference is in how it's delivered. Every session is 1:1 with your PT, for the full time. Your plan is built around your body, your goals, and your life. We don't cap your visits. We don't split your time between aides. We don't follow a cookie-cutter protocol because your insurance assigned you a diagnostic code.
We have the time and the freedom to actually get you where you want to go, and we stay with you until we do.
beyond the programs
what is Performance+?
Performance+ is our ongoing monthly membership for graduates of be.dynamic programs. It is not maintenance, it is continued pursuit of your next goal. Your programming upgrades to a app specifically for long-term, and we become your PT for anything and everything you need going forward. Plans start at $199 per month for one visit per month, up to $660 per month for four visits. A three-month commitment is required. Visit rollover is built in, and add-on visits are available at your plan's base rate.
What is a running gait analysis?
A single 60-minute session with Dr. Tillie Salazar, DPT, using video analysis to evaluate your running mechanics from multiple angles. Tillie identifies what in your form is working against you, gives you specific drills to start implementing immediately, and runs a second round of video after drills so you can see the improvement before you leave. It is $299 and available as a standalone visit or included within an existing program. Wear whatever you actually run in.
Do you offer virtual programs for people outside Northwest Arkansas?
Two of our programs are fully remote. The Virtual Clinical Strength Program is a 12-week individualized strength training program led by Dr. Tillie Salazar, PT, DPT, DN Cert; available anywhere.

For in-person programs, you need to be local to Springdale, AR.

What is clinical strength for new moms?
A 6-week PT-led group class for moms in their first year postpartum, led by Dr. Brooke Warren, PT, DPT.
