About Hive
Our Mission
Hive’s mission is to offer comprehensive, skilled care that deeply engages with every aspect of an individual’s well-being. Our approach empowers people to reach their fullest potential, achieve their personal and professional goals, and live a life rich with engagement and purpose. We are committed to supporting and enhancing the health of those we serve.
Hive's Values
Why is it important to understand
and know Hive’s values?
Approachability
- At Hive, each session is an opportunity for education and explanation, ensuring that our patients are as informed about their condition and treatment plan as our providers are.
- Our providers create a welcoming atmosphere where questions that come up during and outside sessions are encouraged and expected.
- Whether you see us in a session, out in the community, or on social media, don’t be afraid to come say “hi!” We truly value building connections with our patients!
Collaboration
At Hive, we value the power of connection in all facets of care, which is why we foster an environment of equality between our staff and patients. This involves open discussions, sharing ideas, and exchanging views, all of which contribute to more effectively reaching health goals.
But our collaborative approach doesn’t end there; we extend this partnership to include everyone on the patient’s “team”—from healthcare providers to family members, friends, and even the community in which they live. Since health and wellness touch every aspect of life, we ensure everyone involved is included at Hive.
- Our providers encourage open communication and dialogue among patients, their care teams, and other essential individuals.
- Hive actively engages with the communities we serve by participating in educational events, volunteer activities, and ongoing outreach with other health-focused organizations.
- We begin every treatment plan with a clear understanding of the patient’s goals, followed by a detailed and transparent outline of the comprehensive care plan. This plan is regularly updated throughout the treatment process, facilitating ongoing, productive, and honest discussions between the provider and the patient.
Compassion
- Thorough examinations followed by personalized, tailored treatment plans.
Providers with extensive knowledge, experience, and expertise bringing evidence-based medicine to every appointment. - We understand the lows because we’ve been there too, and that’s why we can help; we’ve had to make the journey to “better” as well, and we are ready to help you, doing it hand-in-hand.
Competence
- It is not the patient’s job to educate the provider on their condition or area of concern. When you come to Hive you can rest assured that we understand your problems and have actionable solutions to get you better.
- We understand that your experience may feel unique and even isolating, but you are not alone. Your condition is well within our expertise. Our team is thoroughly experienced, having dealt with a wide array of cases, and our extensive training enables us to manage these issues and excel in their treatment.
- Our professionals go beyond the basic requirements for licensure, having completed advanced specialty training in numerous areas. They have reached a level of proficiency where they now serve as educators and mentors to other healthcare practitioners, including physical therapists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and doctors, teaching them how to handle both straightforward and complex medical conditions effectively.
Dedication
At Hive, our dedication centers on two key pillars: exceptional patient care and ongoing education. Regarding patient care, our providers are relentlessly pursuing every possible solution, striving to deliver the highest quality of care, resulting in the quickest, most significant improvement in the patient’s health.
In terms of ongoing education, our team diligently stays informed about the most current, effective, and research-based treatment methods. They regularly refine their skills beyond patient sessions, ensuring each intervention is performed with the utmost precision, efficiency, and targeted effectiveness.
- Hive is often the location people come to for a second opinion or as their “last resort” because they have “failed” treatment elsewhere. We take this role seriously and can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that we have left no stone unturned after they undergo a course of care with us. This meticulous approach typically results in successful outcomes for our patients.
- Every patient undergoes a thorough evaluation, including a discussion of their history, past interventions, what they have already tried, and how that has resonated with them. An extensive physical examination follows to determine the possible cause of their health struggles. From there, every patient receives a unique and individualized plan of care that includes manual therapy, behavioral modifications, neuromuscular re-education, exercise prescription, and so much more. This plan of care is then continuously honed, modified, and changed based on patient feedback and insight—because your needs are our top priority.
- We hold ourselves to high standards, continually advancing our training and education because our patients deserve competence and excellence.
Holistic
- Balancing the myriad of recommendations from doctors, family, work, social media, and others can be overwhelming. As your trusted partner and confidant, we are here to align what truly matters to you with effective health solutions, crafting a holistic care approach tailored just for you.
- “Getting better” encompasses more than just treating your symptoms or conditions. It involves a comprehensive healing process that includes your physical health as well as other aspects of life, such as sleep hygiene, hydration, mindfulness, and setting boundaries.
- Our approach to improving health is comprehensive and personalized because we understand that a one-size-fits-all solution is never the answer and simply does not work.
Joyful
- Greeting everyone with warm smile.
- For Hive’s providers, patient care is more than a responsibility; it’s a source of vitality and a true calling that energizes and fulfills them.
- We practice what we preach, because we genuinely enjoy all this health and wellness stuff!
Kind
- That indescribable sensation of leaving an experience with your heart feeling full, warm, and content.
- We embrace tough, honest conversations because they help people make challenging decisions and come to eye-opening realizations about their health journeys.
- We genuinely care about your struggles and wholeheartedly celebrate your successes in and out of your physical therapy sessions.
Our Vision
About Us/Hive’s Origin Story
Hive Therapy and Wellness was born from two people’s desire to deliver healthcare in a completely different way.
The story of Hive Therapy and Wellness is not your typical tale. Laura and BJ’s paths crossed during a pivotal moment in BJ’s career: During the final months of his doctoral program. Their meeting was more than just a romantic encounter; it was a professional connection based on a shared treatment philosophy and approach to physical therapy care. To some, this may sound silly or like the start of a blockbuster rom-com, but as BJ and Laura embarked on their relationship, physical therapy, and patient care were at the heart of much of what they talked about and focused on.
- Clinics valuing the quantity of patients over the quality of care provided
- Insurance companies dictating what a patient can and cannot receive
- Lack of collaboration between providers
- A limit to how far a provider can move up within a company and what level of clinical support they are allowed
- Significant pay discrepancy
- An inability to practice to the highest level of their degree
- Stonewalling various education and research efforts

My provider at Hive has been an amazing physical therapist. They helped recover an achilles tear volleyball injury. They were very knowledgeable, pleasant, and they made a not-so-fun thing as fun as possible. They gave practical exercises and got excited about the progress that was made. It’s clear that they love what they do and they go above and beyond to help someone not only recover physically from an injury but mentally as well. I would highly, highly recommend them.

Hive saved my life! I was in so much chronic pain I never believed I would find my way out. We have accomplished so much, they never give up, always listen intently, and even a year in has found new ways to continue progress. If you are a man with bowel, urinary, or sexual issues/pain, they will help you. I spent years suffering through clinicians who couldn’t help. They did. Brilliant clinicians!

Hive gave me the best PT experience I’ve ever had! I’ve had lots of PT from being a past college athlete so I didn’t know what my provider’s style would be. They listened to all of my concerns and explained everything easy enough for me to understand. They made sure I was able to continue my everyday lifestyle and lifting regimen while incorporating the exercises to strengthen my back and hips. If something wasn’t working for me they instantly came up with alternative options to make sure I was comfortable and happy with our sessions. I can’t thank Hive enough. I will never seek any other PT service again except from them!

I am so glad and thankful that I found the providers at Hive. My pain and symptoms have gotten better with each appointment. In my appointments I feel heard and validated. I leave with more compassion for myself and am empowered with tools to control my symptoms and get to the root cause. Their expertise and knowledge has been unmatched to any other modalities I have sought or used previously!

The providers at Hive are so welcoming, empathic, and beyond dedicated to their craft. I’ve interacted with a lot of people in and around the field of physical therapy and I can say without a shadow of a doubt they are the true example of experts. I’ve learned so much from their workshops and shadowing their work! Not just about the body, muscles and proper technique/form/engagement that you would expect, but also how a provider should treat their patients! CANNOT say enough good things about them and the wonderful quality of care they provide!

My Hive provider is an amazing pelvic floor PT!! I was seeing a local therapist for a few months before I started going to Hive, and it wasn’t until I made the transition that I started seeing significant improvements in my symptoms. My therapy and interventions were very personalized and focused on my specific needs and lifestyle. I don’t think I would be where I am today without them. My provider was a critical component of my postpartum journey. Highly recommend Hive for pelvic floor therapy since they are truly the best therapists out there for the job.

I’m a chiropractor, and this is who I trust for myself and my patients. The providers at Hive are extremely knowledgeable and thorough. I haven’t come across more dedicated and educated PT’s, and I really appreciate them!!

My Hive provider was amazing to work with! They were super welcoming and accepting of myself as a transgender woman. I was recommended to them by my surgeon’s office following GRS at Mayo Clinic and was a bit worried about finding a PT that was accepting and able to assist me; however my provider was superb in all aspects. They personalized their approach to my needs and I was seeing real progress throughout my time with them.

The providers at Hive Therapy and Wellness are fantastic! I really enjoy how my provider not only listens to what my complaints are, but also does a well-rounded evaluation. From there I appreciate how they develop a very individualistic plan of care to help me attain my goals. My provider takes time to explain the rationale behind their treatment modalities and why it can be helpful. For me this is huge because it not only shows their knowledge but it helps me to understand the importance of what I’m doing and how it’ll help me stay safe when working out, and also help to build on my weaknesses. Another thing that always stands out to me in our sessions is the priority of my safety with any movements or things we do. I’ll continue to highly recommend them!
