Hello!
I am Nancy Scotch, and I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy.
I decided to open Wayfinder Physical Therapy & Wellness after witnessing the frustrations for moms in jumping through hoops to take care of their own bodies. I developed a mobile and insurance-free model of PT to address the barriers to care that I have seen moms face.
More about me
Throughout my time working in traditional out-patient clinics I had frustrating experiences with insurance companies dictating the course of care I was permitted to provide, limiting reimbursement for services, and pressuring clinics to double and triple book patients in order to make a profit. I got fed up with insurance companies profiting off of pain and decided to eliminate the middleman. With a cash-based practice model, I can afford to give clients 100% of my attention for a longer period of time, which results in fewer visits and accelerated progress.
I also had the far-too-common experience of hearing about the financial and emotional burden of coordinating childcare several times a week in order for mammas to make it to the PT clinic. It became so clear that prioritizing women’s health in the traditional clinic setting was so difficult. As a result I decided to flip the model, and instead of asking patients to travel to a clinic, I pack up my equipment and head home-to-home to increase the convenience and accessibility of recovery and healing.
I began practicing as a Physical Therapist with a heavy background in treating common orthopedic injuries as well as specific interest in treating vertigo and dizziness, and hypermobility conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos. I have since deepened my education and exposure to pregnancy and post-partum health with further training in pelvic floor health. I now primarily work with active moms with a wide array of symptoms and injuries. I believe in a comprehensive approach to pelvic floor therapy, recognizing that nothing exists in isolation and the body should be treated as a whole. Additionally, I am certified in Trigger Point Dry Needling and often offer this as a part of treatment plans.
When I am not treating patients you can find me grabbing coffee with my husband, chasing around my children, traveling whenever we get the opportunity, serving our local church, and making every excuse to go to the beach.
