    Frequently Asked Questions

    Got questions? We've got answers.

    In many cases, you can start physical therapy without a doctor’s referral, but requirements can vary based on your condition, insurance plan, or post-surgical protocol. If you are recovering from shoulder or elbow surgery, we often coordinate with your surgeon to ensure your care is aligned. Contact TKM Labs in Salt Lake City and we’ll help you understand what’s needed before your first visit.

    TKM Labs treats shoulder and elbow conditions exclusively, including post-surgical recovery, sports injuries, overuse pain, sprains, strains, tendinopathies, and chronic discomfort. We work with athletes, active adults, and patients who want expert guidance to restore strength, mobility, and confidence. Every plan is data-driven and delivered in 60-minute one-on-one sessions with a Doctor of Physical Therapy in Salt Lake City.

    TKM Labs may work with insurance depending on your plan and benefits, but coverage can vary. For the most accurate information, please call the clinic directly before your first visit so the team can help you understand your options and any out-of-pocket responsibilities. Our priority is making sure you receive specialized, one-on-one shoulder and elbow care with clear expectations from the start.

    Typical therapy sessions at TKM Labs are 60 minutes and delivered one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. This format gives your clinician time to assess movement, review objective strength data, guide precise treatment, and progress your plan without guesswork. Each visit is focused on your shoulder or elbow goals, whether you are recovering from surgery, returning to sport, or managing chronic pain.

    The Humero Tech C1® gives us objective, highly specific measurements of shoulder strength, control, and progress that traditional rehab tools often miss. Instead of relying on guesswork, your Doctor of Physical Therapy can use real data to identify deficits, guide targeted strengthening, and adjust your plan as you improve. At TKM Labs, it helps make shoulder and elbow rehab more precise, personalized, and easier to track over time.
