About Pillar Kinetic, physical therapists in Las Vegas
What’s in a name? Everything.
When we first opened in 2019, we started with the company name “White Wong PT”. At that time, we were new to Las Vegas, new to running a clinic, and still finding our identity. We started small, visiting local gyms, hosting free weekend workshops, and teaching people how to address pain on their own while teaching them to move with confidence. Over time, we became a “Pillar” in the Las Vegas fitness community, a trusted source for education, support, and movement-based care.
As we evolved, we realized helping people heal meant more than just fixing their pain. Many of our clients were sleeping too little, skipping meals, not warming up properly, and running on caffeine and stress. They weren’t broken, they were red-lining their lives until the check engine light came on in the form of pain.
Pillar
Five Pillars of Health
This realization led us to pair treatment with coaching on the Five Pillars of Health:
- Sleep
- Nutrition & Hydration
- Movement
- Stress Management
- Relationships
When these foundations are supported, the body performs as a complete system, healing faster and establishing a stronger foundation for pain free movement going forward.
We realized these Pillars must be integrated into the overall treatment strategy when someone’s body is healing.
Kinetic
Then came the Kinetic. Derived from the Greek word kinesis, it means movement, the energy of life in motion. It represents our belief that movement is medicine, whether you’re recovering from injury, preparing for childbirth, or training for your next race.
Meet the team
Dr. Joseph White
Co-owner, Physical Therapist
Most physical therapists learn about movement from a textbook. Dr. Joe learned it from the back of an ambulance, the floor of a garage gym, and the inside of a CrossFit box.
Dr. Erica Wong
Co-owner, Physical Therapist
By the time she became a Doctor of Physical Therapy, she'd already spent over a decade learning how the human body actually performs under pressure, not just how it heals.
Dr. Minija Edgar
Physical Therapist
From the very beginning, Dr. Minija knew pelvic health was where she wanted to focus her career.
For six years, Dr. Minija has also taught yoga, and she brings that mind-body expertise directly into her physical therapy practice.
Dr. Andrew
Physical Therapist
Dr. Andrew's education started with athletic training and kinesiology, two Bachelor's degrees, and finished with his Doctor of Physical Therapy, all at UNLV.
Since 2022 he has worked in outpatient orthopedics and vestibular rehabilitation, and over those same years he rebuilt his own body through powerlifting and CrossFit, losing 80 pounds in the process.
