Why Choose Us

You deserve better than guessing your way back to movement

Pain and recurring injuries keep you from the activities that matter most. Without a clear plan, you risk losing conditioning, missing out on outdoor seasons, and wondering if you'll ever feel confident in your body again.

Your pain keeps coming back

Temporary relief fades because the root issue was never addressed with targeted strength and movement work.

You're losing strength and conditioning

Time off adds up, and getting back becomes harder the longer you wait without a progressive plan.

You're avoiding activities you love

Fear of making it worse keeps you from skiing, hiking, lifting, or playing with the confidence you once had.

You're spending money without results

Generic exercises and quick fixes add up without addressing the real problem, leaving you frustrated and still searching for answers.

What our patients say

Real experiences from people we have worked with.

The staff at Stowe Physical Therapy and Pilates are personal and professional. With their guidance and assistance I was able to regain full use of my arm after total shoulder shoulder replacement. Sara provided exercises to continue at home after therapy was completed which contributed to full range of motion and strength recovery. The support combined with personalized challenges made the session fun and rewarding. Thank you!!!

I first started with Kat about 5+ years ago presenting with hip pain that had been treated as sciatica. She sorted it out as a problem with my hip joint. We worked to rehab it and found I needed a replacement. She helped me prep for it and worked with me after and I made a full recovery. More recently we have been dealing with pain associated with my cancer. She is thoughtful compassionate and supported me . She is a great clinician and a wonderful person.

I have had several different sessions with Heidi at Stowe PTP and they have all been excellent! The facility is full of a wide variety of equipment, and the place is immaculate. All of the therapists are wonderful and take the time to help their clients learn all the necessary movements/exercises to improve range of motion and recovery from injuries. They offer on line exercises as well as a variety of thing to work at in the studio. I would highly recommend Stowe Physical Therapy & Pilates, PLLC

I’m so grateful for the care I received at Stowe Physical Therapy, specifically from Kat Dwyer. Last year, I came in with persistent hip pain that had been painful for months, and over the course of several visits she created a thoughtful, highly personalized plan of stretches and strengthening exercises that addressed the root of the issue. Kat has a wonderful way of explaining what’s going on in the body and how each movement supports healing. Beyond her expertise, I simply enjoyed spending time with her as a person. I've been pain-free for seven months now. Highly recommend!

I have worked with Kat and Heidi at their previous locations, and and have always found their therapy and advice to be tremendously helpful in my rehabilition from knee and shoulder injuries. More recently, Sara has guided my recovery from a herniated disc, vastly improving my mobility while reducing the pain, and educating me on self-treatment resources. You can't get better treatment anywhere else! Thanks, Dana Wehe

If I could do a 5 star PLUS rating, I would. Heidi took care of me after breaking my ankle last year, and was soo good. It's a great, positive environment with therapists who know their craft. So grateful - highly recommended!

Kat and Sara are exceptional at PT, and a joy to work with. Their expertise, professionalism and thoughtful approach make every session encouraging. They take the time to understand our abilities and lifestyle, and provide care that truly supports our needs and goals.
Amy Marshall
I had back and sciatica issues. Fairly debilitating. I try to be relatively active and this cramping my life. Kate was able to derive the sources of my issues and develop a plan for treatment. I am chronologically enhanced so my outlook wasn't that bright. She got to where I was bike riding distance, hiking and all the activities I love. Kat, Heidi and Sara are knowledgeable, diligent and show empathy. If they aren't sure they are networked with each other as well as outside their sphere. Great having them here😃

I have been in and out of PT for the past 34 years for Neck, Back, and Shoulder Problems. Started going to Heidi about 16 months ago and she has done more to correct my problems than all the other Physical Therapist combined that i saw for all these years.I am very appreciative for all Heidi has done in terms of relieving my issues and teaching me to be pro active in reducing the likely hood of continual problems.
Sam Strober
As a long-time distance runner, I would occasionally have niggling injuries which would require PT. I had relied on Heidi Noonan for many years and found her to be excellent. So with my recent problem of a nerve issue in my glute, it made sense for me to try Stowe Pilates & PT since Heidi worked there. I saw Kat Dwyer for this problem, and she was amazing. Not only was my "ache" completely resolved in a couple of months, but Kat also found some muscle imbalances and prescribed some great exercises to fix those as well. I highly recommend them both.

My husband and I recently moved to Vermont and went to Stowe Physical Therapy and Pilates for physical therapy services. I saw Kat and he worked with Sara—both had extensive experience in the specific areas we needed to address.From the start, Kat and Sara were attentive, straightforward, and easy to work with. They explained the plan clearly, tailored the treatment to our needs, and kept things moving at an appropriate pace. Our experience has been entirely positive.Thanks to their expertise and encouragement, we’re making steady progress, feeling stronger and more confident moving forward. If you’re looking for a physical therapist focused on real results and respectful care, we highly recommend Stowe PT and Pilates.

FAQs

Common questions about physical therapy, Pilates training, insurance, and what to expect at Stowe PT.

Do you accept insurance, or is this cash-based?

We accept BCBS, MVP, Green Mountain Care/Medicaid, Medicare, and Tricare. We also offer cash-based options and provide superbills for out-of-network plans. HSA and FSA are eligible payment methods.

Will physical therapy make my pain worse?

Many people worry about this, and it's a valid concern. We use assessment-driven progressions and clear communication to make sure every exercise is appropriate for where you are in recovery. You'll understand the "why" behind each step.

How long does it take to get back to sport or activity?

Recovery timelines vary based on your condition, goals, and how your body responds to treatment. We build a plan with benchmarks so you know where you stand and what's next. Many people notice improvements in strength and confidence within the first few weeks.

What's the difference between physical therapy and Pilates training here?

Physical therapy focuses on rehabilitation, pain management, and return-to-sport progressions. Pilates is more than rehab  it’s proactive strength training.
Offered as a standalone cash service, our evidence-informed Pilates sessions develop strength, control, and body awareness to help you move better, prevent injury, and perform at your highest level.

Do I need a referral to get started?

Vermont allows direct access to physical therapy, so you do not need a referral to book an evaluation. If you're using insurance, some plans may require one for coverage, and we can help you navigate that. Please note Medicare and Green Mountain Care/Medicaid need referrals
