Why Our Cash‑Based Model Works for Neuro Recovery
You get more time, more focus, and more freedom — the exact ingredients neurologic conditions need for real progress.
Longer, one‑on‑one treatment time — space to work on gait, balance, dual‑tasking, strength, and the complex skills neuro rehab actually requires.
No insurance limits — no visit caps, no “maintenance” denials, no forced discharge when you’re finally gaining momentum.
Complete transparency — you always know what you’re paying for and why.
Care driven by your goals — not by insurance driven checkboxes or productivity quotas
Neuroplasticity needs time, intensity and repetition — not rushed sessions, double booking or arbitrary timelines.
Progress isn’t linear — and you deserve a team who keeps going with you through every step and helps you break through barriers.
Your goals are bigger than basic function — they’re about identity, joy, and getting back to the things that make you, you.
What This Means for You
The Experience You Deserve
You get the time, intensity, and support to rebuild confidence, mobility, and the meaningful parts of your life — without red tape getting in the way.

Meet The Owner
Lindsey Hershberger, DPT, PWR!
Thanks for stopping by! I’m Lindsey Hershberger, a Doctor of Physical Therapy and the owner of Empower Balance. For over a decade, I’ve been blessed with a front row seat to witness the transformative and protective power of exercise for people with Parkinson’s and neurological disorders.
I believe wholeheartedly that personalized exercise is a powerful, life changing medicine, especially for those with chronic illnesses.
Throughout my career, I found that while most patients understood the importance of exercise, few felt confident putting it into action. Patients and their families were inspired by the improvements they made during physical therapy, but worried they couldn’t keep it up after they were discharged.
They wanted more. More coaching. More confidence. More progress.
It became my mission to elevate the standard beyond encouraging exercise, to prescribing and personalizing movement medicine. I want every client to have the confidence that they are getting their movement medicine right, and can keep getting it right, for life.
In 2022, Empower Balance Therapy & Wellness, was born. Empower’s physical therapy is here to get you back on your feet, and our personalized exercise programs are prescribed to keep you on your feet, or better yet, get them running! By providing seamless transitions between physical therapy and personalized exercise, you can change your story from patient, to athlete. Your progress shouldn’t stop when PT is over. Let’s keep your momentum rolling.
