Clovis & Fresno · David Quenzer, Doctor of Physical Therapy
Tried physical therapy, stretching, or exercises and still feel stuck?
Then it may not be about trying harder. The place that hurts may not be the only place worth looking—so what might be getting missed?
You don’t need to diagnose it first. Tell me what you want back—walking, stairs, training, or something else. I’ll assess your movement and explain what I find; then we decide together what comes next.
Where does it hurt?
30 to 45 minutes · Hands on · No obligation to continue
Not sure if this is for you? Call me personally.Sometimes care gets narrowed to the sore spot. But pain doesn’t always tell the whole story.
It can be discouraging to finish physical therapy still feeling stuck—or to make progress that doesn’t last, especially after you’ve put in the effort.
In-network care can be shaped by time and diagnosis limits. The plan may focus on where it hurts—stretch here, strengthen there—while other joints, soft tissues, or movement patterns get less attention. Those exercises may help for a while, yet still leave other contributors to your pain unaddressed.
What if we started with the movement you want back—and asked what may be getting in its way?
Your follow-up treatment is a full hour with me, one-on-one. We have time to listen, assess, treat, and check how you respond in a room that feels more like a living room than a clinic.

Your first visit
You leave with a clearer next step. You don’t need to diagnose yourself or choose a treatment. Bring the problem you’ve been living with and the activity you want back. I assess what may be contributing and explain whether I think treatment here could help.
I listen to your history, watch the movements that trouble you, and assess joint and soft-tissue mobility. We look at the painful area and other areas that may be contributing, without asking you to work out the cause yourself.
I explain what I found, what remains uncertain, and whether I think I can help. If treatment makes sense to both of us, I offer an hour at $200. If another kind of care seems more appropriate, I explain why and suggest a next step.
When my next hour is open, we can begin that day. I use gentle spinal, joint, and soft-tissue work as appropriate, then immediately retest the same movements. What changes, and what doesn’t, guides how I adapt treatment.
More from the room
At Rethink Longevity, care starts with the activity you want back and an assessment of how you move. If hands-on treatment is appropriate, I retest the movement that matters to you and adapt based on how you respond. It’s an individual process, not a routine chosen before the assessment.
My imaging still shows the herniations. I don’t rely on a special stretching routine or exercise sheet to stay active. I train jiu-jitsu, hike, and pick things up from the floor. That’s my experience; your care is guided by your goals and how you respond.
I use gentle hands-on work with the soft tissues around the areas we identify in your assessment. We check whether tenderness or movement changes, and adjust the pressure and approach to your comfort.
I gently work with joints, including the spine when appropriate, to explore where movement is limited. Nothing forceful. Then we repeat the movement that mattered to you and see whether it feels easier.
Using guided movement and a technique called PNF, I help you practice the patterns that feel difficult. The aim is for movement to become more comfortable and automatic. Any home practice has a clear purpose; you aren’t left to figure out the plan alone.

At your pace
A plan that follows your progress
The time you need depends on your situation and response. We review progress together, with hours booked at a pace that fits your life.
Clear pricing
The evaluation gives us time to understand what you want to get back to and decide whether treatment here makes sense.
You deserve to understand the approach before committing. If I think another kind of care would serve you better, I’ll tell you why and suggest a next step.
There’s no charge for the evaluation and no obligation to continue.
What treatment can offer depends on what we find and how you respond.
What it costs if we’re a fit
Hands-on treatment, paid one visit at a time
You would be one of about 25 people I work with in a month. Every one of them pays as they go.
Out of network, cash pay physical therapy.
No charge and no obligation. Choose a time that works for you.
Ask them yourself
Past clients offered me their phone numbers so people deciding on this can text them directly. I hand them over at your first visit, and I never see what you ask or what they answer.
Ask them anything. People usually start with:

If comfortable, gently lift a small fold of skin near the area that bothers you. Skip this if the skin is irritated or the touch is painful; there is no need to push through discomfort.
You can compare that sensation with the back of your hand or forearm. Skin naturally feels different in different areas. This is a way to notice sensations, not a test you need to pass.
Back of the hand: an example of gently noticing how the skin moves.
If you noticed tenderness or a difference in movement, you can mention it at your visit. That feeling alone doesn’t tell us what is causing your pain; I assess it in context.
Noticing is enough. You don’t need to diagnose it.
“I’m a medical provider, and enjoy running. Had IT band pain for three years. Every PT gave me the same stretches and strengthening exercises. Temporary relief, then back to square one. David found what they didn’t check. 5 weeks later I ran a half marathon. Still running. No warm-up routine required anymore.”Jennifer L.
“I just wake up and go. It doesn’t take me 10 minutes of stretching that I had to do to survive my work. David gave me back my freedom. Priceless.”Nathan J.
What getting better meant to Debbie
Debbie described every step as feeling like walking on shards of glass. She had tried many things and wasn’t sure she would ever walk without pain again.
“I started walking and realized I had no pain! I was actually able to walk very easily along the beach in Barbados when we celebrated our 40th anniversary this past summer.”
“I am so grateful that I can walk across the house and not be in pain.”

What we are working toward
Less preparation before the day can start.
More confidence as you approach a set of stairs.
More freedom to choose what you want to do today.
Whether your goal is getting up from the floor, turning to check your blind spot, or feeling steadier on stairs, we focus on what matters in your daily life.
The aim is movement that feels more comfortable and automatic, with less to think about at every step.
Yes. It is 30 to 45 minutes, hands on, with no charge and no obligation to continue. If we agree treatment is a good next step, I offer an hour at $200, paid as you go.
The evaluation is hands on, so you feel what we find. If we decide to work together and my next hour is open, we often start treatment that same day.
It depends on your needs and how you respond. We review progress together and adjust the plan, with visits booked at a pace that fits your life.
Rethink Longevity is an out-of-network, cash-pay practice. Some PPO plans include out-of-network physical therapy benefits, so you may be able to receive partial reimbursement after you pay for care and submit a superbill. PPO coverage varies: some plans exclude out-of-network benefits, and any payment may depend on your remaining deductible, the plan’s allowed amount, coinsurance, visit limits, and claim rules. A PPO does not guarantee reimbursement.
I provide a superbill for every paid visit. It is an itemized statement with the provider and service details you can send to your insurer to request review. Your insurer—not the clinic—decides whether a visit is covered and how much, if anything, it will reimburse.
Before scheduling, call the member-services number on your insurance card and ask: Do I have out-of-network outpatient physical therapy benefits? What deductible remains? What amount does the plan use to calculate reimbursement? Do I need a referral or prior authorization, and what is the claim-submission deadline? How PPO networks work · Health coverage terms, including out-of-network coinsurance.
A superbill is an itemized statement for a paid visit. I provide one for every paid visit; you can submit it to your insurance plan if you want to request out-of-network reimbursement. It is not an insurance payment or a promise that your plan will reimburse you. Check your benefits and claim rules with your insurer first.
Clothes you can move in, any reports or imaging you already have, and the one activity you most want back.
Your first visit is a hands-on evaluation, 30 to 45 minutes, at no charge. Tell me what’s been difficult and what you’d like to get back to. I’ll assess your movement and explain what I think may help. If we decide together to continue, treatment is $200 an hour, and we may be able to begin that day.
