Physical therapy in Las Vegas
Pelvic floor to performance
Leakage. A shoulder that will not settle. Six weeks post-op and still guarding. We treat what people quietly work around, one therapist for the whole hour.
Pillar Kinetic is a cash-based, one-on-one physical therapy clinic in northwest Las Vegas, near Summerlin, that provides pelvic floor therapy for women and men, pregnancy and postpartum care, sports rehabilitation and post-surgical recovery. Drs. Joe White and Erica Wong opened it in August 2019 and run it as a family business.
How is Pillar Kinetic different from an insurance-based clinic?
We do not take insurance, Medicare or Tricare. That is on purpose, so decisions about your care are made between you and your therapist.
Who treats you
Insurance-based clinic
You are handed to an aide, or left on a table while your therapist starts someone else.
Pillar Kinetic
One therapist works with you for the whole hour.
Your first visit is a full evaluation: your history, how the problem started and what you want to get back to.
Who sets the plan
Insurance-based clinic
Insurance decides how many visits you get and which treatments are approved.
Pillar Kinetic
Your plan is built on what the problem needs.
We can provide documentation for out-of-network reimbursement or an HSA or FSA account.
What gets treated
Insurance-based clinic
The pain goes quiet for a few weeks, then it comes back.
Pillar Kinetic
We work out what caused it, so you are not back in six months.
Most people are with us for one to three months, and usually notice less pain after the first visit.
We care about your body, your mind and your lifestyle, because sleep, stress and how you load your body all shape how fast tissue settles down.

What patients say about their care
Quoted word for word. Where a review is long, we show part of it and link to the full text.
“I spent a lot of time here the last 6 months with Joe & Erica and built a very strong professional relationship & friendship with them. Not only did they help me feel better and understand why I was in pain, I developed a lot of health knowledge along the way.”
“Mini helped me with pelvic floor therapy and bladder control, and I am so grateful for her. … I used to go to the restroom multiple times in one hour and thought that was just something I had to live with.”
“Joe was excellent to work with for my thumb injury recovery. He’s knowledgeable, practical, and took the time to explain the reasoning behind different exercises and treatment approaches.”
“Fantastic professional, truly effective, immediately felt better with first session ! My future go to crew if any other problems arise .”
“Excellent place to rehab any injury or mobility issue staff is very professional and very knowledgeable and will map out a good game plan for you to recover.”
“Traditional, insurance-based physical therapy clinics often max out in terms of how far they can take you in your rehab, but that's not the case at Pillar Kinetic. I am a physical therapist in town and chose Pillar Kinetic to help me with my shoulder and numbness/tingling down my arm …”

Questions people ask before booking
What do you treat at Pillar Kinetic?
Back and neck pain, sciatica, knee, hip, shoulder, foot and ankle pain, arthritis, sports injuries, rehab before and after surgery, pelvic floor physical therapy for women and for men, pregnancy and postpartum care, dry needling, and strength training built around what your body can handle right now. If you are not sure which of those fits, the free 15-minute phone call sorts it out.
Do I need a referral for physical therapy in Las Vegas?
No. Nevada lets you see a physical therapist without a referral from a doctor, so you can book with us directly. If you plan to claim out-of-network reimbursement, check with your insurer first, as some plans ask for a referral before they pay.
Do you take insurance or Medicare?
No. We do not bill insurance, and we do not take Medicare or Tricare. We are cash-based on purpose: insurance decides how many visits you get and which treatments are approved, and paying directly means your plan is built on what the problem needs instead. We can provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement and documentation for an HSA or FSA account. If what your insurance will cover is your main question, we are probably not the right clinic for you, and we would rather say so now than halfway through.
How much does physical therapy cost at Pillar Kinetic?
You pay us directly at each visit, and prices for both visits are confirmed on the free 15-minute phone call, before you book. Many patients pay with HSA or FSA funds.
How does the first visit work?
Your first visit is a 60-minute, one-on-one evaluation: your history, how the problem started, what you have already tried, and what you want to get back to. From there we build a plan. Every session after that is one-on-one with the same therapist for the whole visit. You are never handed to an aide or left on a table while your therapist starts someone else.
How long does physical therapy take?
Most people are with us one to three months. You will usually notice less pain after the first visit and a real change after a few. The rest of the plan is the part that matters most, because that is where we work out what caused the problem, so you are not back here in six months with the same thing.
Where is your Las Vegas physical therapy clinic?
At 7381 Prairie Falcon Rd, Ste 110, Las Vegas, NV 89128, in the Desert Shores area of northwest Las Vegas, about 0.8 miles outside Summerlin's northeastern border. Suite 110 is on the ground floor with parking at the door. We are open Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM, and closed Saturday and Sunday.
Which areas do you serve?
Patients come to our clinic from across Las Vegas, including Summerlin, Summerlin South and Summerlin West, North Las Vegas and Spring Valley. From Summerlin the drive is about 14 to 16 minutes without traffic, from North Las Vegas about 15 minutes, and from central Spring Valley about 20 minutes.
Who will I be working with?
One of our four Doctors of Physical Therapy: Dr. Joseph White, Dr. Erica Wong, Dr. Minija Edgar or Dr. Andrew. Pillar Kinetic is a family business, opened in August 2019 by Drs. Joe White and Erica Wong. You see the same therapist each visit, and you will know who that is before you book.
Can physical therapy help arthritis?
Yes, for many people. Joints are living tissue that respond to load, and doing less makes them weaker and more painful, not safer. What predicts how you feel is the strength and capacity of the muscles around the joint, and that is something you can change at any age.
Why is the practice so small?
Because of what people come to us with. A good share of our work is pelvic health: leakage, pain with sex, pelvic pain, recovery after prostate surgery. Those are not conversations anyone wants to have across a busy gym floor. We see one person at a time, in a private room, which is what makes it possible to talk honestly about symptoms people have often not described to anyone else.
Book a free 15-minute phone call
We will talk through what is going on and what you want to get back to, tell you whether we can help, and give you the price before you book a visit.
