☑️ Faster Results = Fewer Visits
Less time justifying your treatments to your insurance company means more energy spent on what matters. We help patients get better faster, saving you time and money in the long run. On average our patients get better outcomes with only 50% of the visits needed by traditional PT clinics.
☑️ 1-on-1 Attention, Every Time
You’ll never be handed off to an assistant or left doing exercises alone—we focus fully on you.
☑️ HSA and FSA:
Because we are a licensed health care company, you can use your HSA and FSA as payment. We can also provide you with a superbill to submit towards your out of network deductible.
☑️ No Rushed Appointments
Spend real time with your provider (not just 15-20 minutes) so you get deeper, more effective care. We block out a full hour for each visit so that progress is made every session.
☑️ Transparency and Control
Know exactly what your care costs—no surprise bills, no deductibles, no confusing paperwork. We don’t raise the treatment cost anticipating partial reimbursement from insurance. If you have a high deductible plan you actually save a lot of money using a direct care clinic.
☑️ Referral Network:
Mind Body Physio is the highest ranked direct care company in Louisville for a reason. Not only do we have high quality providers, but we have worked hard to build relationships with functional medicine practitioners, longevity and HRT clinics, surgeons, imaging centers, and primary care providers to ensure that you have access to any resource you need to optimize your health.
☑️ Empowered Healing
You’re not a number in a system—you’re a partner in your recovery. We teach you how to understand and care for your body long after treatment ends.
☑️ Prevention-Focused, Not Just Rehab
We’re not here to just get you out of pain—we’re here to help you stay active, strong, and pain-free for life. The goal of insurance based PT is “AFD; Adequate for discharge”... is that really your goal? Our model allows us to work with you on any goal that you have and to take you to whatever level of fitness, performance, or health feels right to you.
☑️Freedom From Insurance Limits
No more worrying about visit caps, referral hoops, or what's “covered.” We do what’s best for your healing, not just what insurance allows.
☑️Customized, Whole-Person Plans
We address the root cause, not just the symptom—with physical therapy, massage, training, and lifestyle coaching integrated into your care.
☑️ Expert Clinicians
All of our providers have pursued certifications and education far beyond their doctorate degree to ensure that each of our patients has their very best chance of success.

Ethan Brown, PT, DPT, COMT, CIDN
Ethan, founder of Mind Body Physio, began his passion for health and exercise while still in high school. Initially his focus was in Mixed Martial Arts, however in 2007 he had a severe motorcycle accident that left him unable to continue MMA training. Unwilling to stop exercising, he began focusing primarily on weightlifting and bodybuilding while recovering from his multiple ankle surgeries. Bodybuilding became his passion, and for over 10 years now he has been competing, personal training, coaching, and furthering his understanding of how to optimize the body. His passion for exercise, biomechanics, education, and helping others to achieve their goals led him to pursue his Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree. Ethan graduated from Bellarmine University with his DPT degree in 2016. After graduating and realizing the limitations in the typical Western medicine Physical Therapy model, Ethan knew he wanted to improve the standard of care for his patients. He and his wife created Mind Body Physio, where patients receive private one on one treatments, which allow his patients to heal faster with less visits than in a traditional physical therapy clinic. Ethan is a COMT (Certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist) through Maitland and is currently pursuing an AAOMPT Fellowship with the Maitland-Australian Physiotherapy Organization which is recognized worldwide as the highest level of clinical excellence in Orthopedic Manual Therapy.
