Your hour. Not shared.
No techs bouncing between rooms, no handoffs mid-visit. Just you and your therapist, the whole time.
About Alpha Physical Therapy
The clinic that treats the cause.
Most clinics manage your symptoms and call it a plan. We built this place to end them: one-on-one with a licensed physical therapist, every single visit.
Our Story
This isn’t our story. It’s yours.
Dr. Ryan Spano, PT, DPT, Founder
Ryan Spano grew up on the Westbank and graduated from Holy Cross before heading to LSU for a degree in Kinesiology. South Louisiana is not a place he moved to for work. It is the place he is from.
He earned his Doctorate in Physical Therapy at the University of St. Augustine with a concentration in manual therapy, which is a specific choice about how care should feel: hands on you, eyes on you, someone who can tell what is happening in a joint by moving it. That is still how this clinic treats.
One patient has written publicly about ten years with him: through flare-ups, through delaying a shoulder replacement, and eventually through preparing for that surgery and coming back from it. The people who do best here are the ones who fix things: their houses, their teams, their families. This is where they finally fix the thing they’ve been putting off: themselves.
What We Believe
Four things we’ll never compromise.
Cause first. Symptoms follow.
You’ve probably chased the pain itself before and never found why it started. We find the why, then the ache stops coming back.
Plans end. That’s the point.
You shouldn’t need a punch card. Every plan comes with a graduation date, so you always know how close you are.
You’re not a protocol.
Your job, your body, your goals: that’s what your plan is built around, never pulled from a generic sheet.
The Difference
Not your typical clinic.
A typical clinic
- You explain your pain to a different aide every visit
- Your hour gets split with two other patients
- The same pain creeps back in a few months
- No graduation date, just book again next week
Alpha Physical Therapy
- One-on-one with a licensed physical therapist, every visit
- Your appointment time is yours, not split three ways
- A cause-first evaluation before we treat anything
- A plan with an endpoint, mapped out on day one
See the difference on your first visit.
