At Black Star Physical Therapy and Wellness, we are on a mission to be a light in our community—restoring hope, health, and strength one person at a time. We believe that every individual deserves access to expert care, compassionate support, and the opportunity to move freely without pain.

We provide holistic, movement-based care that empowers our clients to reclaim their bodies, reduce their reliance on medication, and break cycles of pain that limit daily life. Our services bridge the gap between physical therapy and wellness, helping individuals—especially those in underserved and overlooked communities—build lifelong habits that support strength, healing, and self-awareness.

Rooted in equity, empowerment, and health, we are committed to growing a wellness-centered space where clients feel seen, heard, and capable—regardless of where they start. Through accessible education, one-on-one care, and strategic partnerships, we envision a healthier future where no one has to suffer in silence or feel alone on their journey to healing.

Who is Physical Therapy for?

Physical Therapy Services

At Black Star Physical Therapy and Wellness LLC, I offer exclusive concierge physical therapy services by appointment only, providing personalized, one-on-one care tailored to your unique needs. Physical therapy is a healthcare service designed to restore and enhance movement, reduce pain, and improve the overall quality of life through specialized exercises, manual therapy, and patient education. Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or aiming to optimize physical performance, my approach ensures you receive the highest level of attention and support.

I specialize in treating a variety of conditions, including:

  • Back and neck pain
  • Auto accident injuries
  • Arthritis and joint pain (shoulder, knee, hip, ankle)
  • Running and sports injuries
  • Everyday aches and pains
  • Headaches

My goal is to help you move better, feel stronger, and live a pain-free life. Through comprehensive assessment and customized treatment plans, we will work together to improve your mobility, reduce discomfort, and prevent future injuries.

What is 1-on-1 Assisted Stretch

 In addition to physical therapy services, I now offer 1-on-1 Assisted Stretch Sessions for individuals looking to enhance flexibility, reduce tension, and maintain mobility. Whether you spend long hours at a desk, work out regularly without prioritizing stretching, or are training for an athletic event, these sessions can help you stay limber and avoid potential injuries. Unlike typical stretching services, these sessions are conducted by a licensed physical therapist, ensuring expert guidance and personalized attention. 

Why Choose a Physical Therapist as Your Fitness Coach?

At Black Star Physical Therapy & Wellness, our team brings together licensed physical therapists and certified fitness professionals who specialize in bridging the gap between injury recovery and lifelong wellness. We combine clinical expertise in movement analysis, body mechanics, and pain management with a deep commitment to helping you move with confidence and strength—whether you're overcoming an injury, returning to exercise, or striving to live a healthier, more empowered life.

Physical therapists are uniquely trained to assess not just injuries, but the root causes behind pain, stiffness, or weakness. At Black Star, we take this knowledge and apply it through personalized care plans and fitness coaching that focus on long-term mobility, injury prevention, and functional strength.

Fitness Coaching with a Holistic, Personalized Approach

We offer online and in-person fitness coaching programs tailored for women over 30 who want to gain strength, improve joint health, and exercise safely—especially if they’re navigating chronic pain, prior injuries, or general stiffness. Our holistic coaching integrates physical therapy principles to ensure your workouts are not only effective, but also adapted to your unique needs.

Whether you’re new to strength training or returning after time away, our coaching programs are built to meet you where you are and help you grow steadily—without fear of injury or burnout.

The Transitional Fitness Program: From Recovery to Strength

Our Transitional Fitness Program supports clients as they complete physical therapy and want to continue building strength, balance, and endurance. This guided bridge between recovery and independence helps prevent reinjury, reinforces proper movement patterns, and supports lasting results.

By choosing Black Star Physical Therapy & Wellness, you’re choosing a collaborative, expert-led approach that goes beyond fitness or rehab alone. We are here to guide, educate, and empower you—because you deserve to feel strong, capable, and in control of your health.


What’s the Difference Between Physical Therapy and Fitness Coaching?

At Black Star Physical Therapy & Wellness, we offer both physical therapy and fitness coaching, but these services serve different needs. Understanding the difference helps ensure you get the right kind of support at the right time in your health journey.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is a clinical service designed for individuals experiencing acute or chronic pain, movement dysfunction, injury, or post-surgical recovery. Our licensed physical therapists develop personalized treatment plans to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve function.

We treat a wide range of conditions including:

  • Low back or neck pain
     
  • Joint pain or stiffness
     
  • Sciatica and nerve pain
     
  • Weakness or balance issues
     
  • Auto accident and work-related injuries
     

Under Michigan’s Direct Access laws, you can start physical therapy without a physician’s referral for up to 21 days or 10 visits. After that period, a prescription is required to continue care. Physical therapy services are open to all individuals regardless of age or gender.

Fitness Coaching

Fitness coaching is a wellness service designed for individuals who are not currently injured but want to maintain or improve their strength, mobility, and overall health. At Black Star, we specialize in supporting women over 30 who are looking for a sustainable approach to fitness that fits their lifestyle, health history, and personal goals.

Our fitness coaching programs are ideal for:

  • Women returning to exercise after injury or childbirth
     
  • Those managing chronic conditions like joint pain or fatigue
     
  • Individuals looking for a safe, strength-based fitness plan
     
  • Anyone who wants guidance in developing healthy movement habits
     

Unlike physical therapy, fitness coaching is not covered by insurance and focuses on preventative care, strength-building, flexibility, and lifestyle coaching.

What is Lifestyle Medicine

Lifestyle medicine is a medical specialty that uses therapeutic lifestyle interventions as a primary modality to treat chronic conditions including, but not limited to, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity.    Applying the six pillars of lifestyle medicine—a whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances and positive social connections—also provides effective prevention for these conditions.

Is insurance accepted?

 

We currently accept Blue Cross Blue Shield and Blue Care Network of Michigan for physical therapy services only. If you have Medicare as a secondary to Blue Cross Blue Shield, we may be able to bill your services, but coverage must be verified prior to treatment.

We also accept HSA/FSA payments, and for those with out-of-network insurance, we offer a superbill upon request. This can be submitted to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement. Please note: it is the patient’s responsibility to confirm out-of-network benefits and submit documentation for reimbursement.

All wellness services and physical therapy services not covered by your insurance are cash-based.

Patients are responsible for any applicable co-pays or co-insurance, which are due at the time of service.

If you have questions about your coverage or would like help checking eligibility, please don’t hesitate to contact our office.
