Vital Six Physical Therapy & Performance

Fantastic experience: Dr Gearhart is an extremely talented physical therapist. He saved me from a lifetime of pain and helped me gain enough muscle tone that I could eventually go to a regular personal trainer. I would 100% recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Jason was amazing and got me moving again after a nightmare situation with back pain that couldn’t be figured out.

Fantastic experience: Great experience! Jason listened to my concerns and helped developed a treatment plan exactly for my needs.

Fantastic experience: I had been dealing with shoulder pain & discomfort for a long time. Seeing different professionals throughout the years and finding no long term fix. Wasn’t until I found Jason that i finally have hope that my problem has solution & It was in the first visit that I was able to see progress! He was very attentive & listened to me. It’s not often that you find professionals like Jason that genuinely care, I highly recommend him !

Fantastic experience: Dr. Jason Gearhart was nothing but exceptional in helping me get back to my running ways. He spent an extensive time asking me about previous injuries to develop a game plan and starting position to help figure out what was causing my knee issue. We then went over multiple exercises and tests that ultimately lead to the solution. We then went over a game plan and program to help strengthen my calf that was weaker than my other one. I’m so thankful for the time Dr. Gearhart spent helping me not only get better but continuing to check on my progress. Highly recommend Dr. Gearhart’s knowledge and expertise!

Fantastic experience: Jason and Emily were amazing!! At the beginning of this year, I sprained my ankle while running. This was my first time ever having an injury like this and was unsure of the best way to get back into running. After working with them both the last few months, I’ve been able to ease back into my mileage and paces pain free. The plan that they created for me felt very personalized to my needs and goals, and the at-home exercises were super easy to follow. I enjoyed my visits and am going to miss seeing them every week! Highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: I am writing this review for the person who just sustained an injury, and have no idea which way to go, or what to do. There is probably nothing worst than to be extremely healthy & mobile at 7:29am, to then be the complete opposite with one wrong move at 7:30am. Having that thing that is the most therapeutic, taken away, and kept away for a period of time that you have no idea for how long…might be up there with being forced fed the vegetables you hate more than anything, as a kid. So I sustained a hamstring injury while working out. The minute it happened I got that rush of “oh no” that increased my body temperature, while removing color from my face. Right at that moment you have that large question mark on your brain that has you as clueless as following Google/Apple maps when it keeps rerouting you to the exact same spot, to then reroute you again. So what do we do, we visit Dr Google. We get a timeline of 4-6 weeks, all the way to possible surgery depending on the damage, sighhhhh. So I decide this time I am not going to self diagnose, I am going to find a professional who has seen this same injury thousands of times. I search in the area and V6 shows up. V6 made me think of a car, which is movement…and damnit, I want to be able to move again, so V6 it is!!! I look at the website and like what I see. So I call, no answer…and I did not leave a voicemail because I am moving on to the next company because I need to be seen right now. No more than 10 minutes past, my phone rings and it is V6. I speak to the doctor and let him know we have a four alarm fire and I need to come in ASAP!!! Dr Gearheart speaks in a very calm & relaxing tone, then proceeds to start asking questions to try and understand the scenario. After a brief discussion, he lets me know his soonest appointment and I am booked. Show up to the office maybe 7 minutes early, and through the glass I can see his office…which is a good thing for me. I do not like closed in offices because I feel like only bad news is told in those. We talked for a bit going over the scenario again but with more detail and demonstration from myself, to give him a much better idea of what happened. During the conversation I noticed he paid attention to my level of understanding of the human body and matched it. He did not “doctor talk” me(big words, quick speaking, and rushing to get to the next client), or talk to me like I didn’t know the difference between a finger and a toe. Before he started the physical part of the evaluation that requires him to move and test the injured area, he sits down and asks a question I have never been asked by any medical professional. I was asked, “where are you mentally/emotionally right now, and what can I do to help you leave here today feeling better.” That question let me know I was in the right place, and gave me full confidence that I will get back to my norm in a timely manner.

Fantastic experience: I had an awesome experience! I have been in and out of physical therapy many times for chronic issues, but Jason was incredibly thorough in creating a treatment plan. I felt like our sessions were super collaborative, and despite previously being a gym hater, I looked forward to our time every week. V6 made me feel more confident in the gym and equipped me with tools to continue a more pain-free life. Will miss this place, would leave 6 stars if I could!!

Fantastic experience: I went to Jason primarily with a shoulder injury. He provided treatment, created a personalized plan, and I was pain free very shortly after. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Jason enough, he has helped me through several injuries at this point.

Fantastic experience: After years of trying to solve the issues myself, I came to Dr. Gearhart in hopes of fixing low back pain and coinciding mobility issues. After a 12-week program, Dr. Gearhart had me pain-free and increased my mobility substantially. He also gave me to tools and knowledge to progress on my own.

Fantastic experience: Jason is awesome! I went to see him because I had knee pain when running. This had been going on for over 6 months and I had already worked with another physical therapist but it had not gotten better. It is very obvious Jason really knows what he is talking about and he looks at the entire body to figure out the root of the problem. He is also very kind and personable! After a few months of doing the exercises he told me to do I have been able to run again pain free! I highly recommend going to see Jason!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Gearhart is amazing at what he does. He is so encouraging and friendly that it makes the exercise process so much more achievable and enjoyable. He creates a healing environment that feels productive and non-judgmental. I’ve had back issues for half of my life and I feel pain lessening and strength increasing every week while understanding what’s going on in my body for the first time. I’d recommend him enthusiastically.

Fantastic experience: Working with Jason has helped tremendously with my lower back / hip joint pain caused by a hip impingement. I've gone to a chiropractor in the past but they never seemed to address the actual cause of my pain so that is something I voiced as a treatment goal for my 6-week treatment plan. Jason has done a great job educating me about my condition and helping me understand how to deal with symptoms by providing me with a war chest of exercises and movements to continue practicing. The facility is also excellent and allows for greater flexibility in treatment options from weights and bands to tissue work and stretching on the table.

Fantastic experience: Vital Six Physical Therapy is such a good place to rehab. After my ACL surgery this is the place i rehabbed. Going into therapy, i didn’t know what to expect after my surgery. Until I met Jason, my physical therapist. He guided me through every exercise and always pushed me to keep going. I always came in knowing that when i left , i would feel good about the work that I had done. And don’t worry you’re always giving a rest day :) And each week I improved. Rehabbing with jason, you won’t just get a physical therapist you’ll find companionship. Everyone in the building are polite people . Anytime i walked in the door , the receptionist was always so joyful to say hello. Such a deserving 5 stars for me.

Fantastic experience: I have worked with many PTs over the years, but this is the first experience where I have felt like I've walked away truly understanding where my injury stemmed from, how to care for my body going forward, and the mechanics behind what is driving my movement. Jason is always a delight to work with. He is knowledgeable and personable. I am so grateful for the help in my injury recovery!

Fantastic experience: Jason was the best! He really took the time to assess my situation and offer the best treatment for my ACL. I saw him for a few preop appointments and he made sure that I had good exercises to prepare for surgery and make sure I felt mentally ready. He was very helpful and responsive via email and checked in with me throughout my post op journey. You are in good hands with him!

Fantastic experience: I want everyone to know how much DR Gearhart helped me. I started having low back pain in 2006 And after 2 back surgeries and shots and physical therapy, a lot helped but nothing fixed it. . I went to see two surgeons and both said same thing. Not much they could do, I just got bad back. My last episode happened 3 years ago. After 2 half years and lot of experience in other treatments I looked on line found V-6 therapy. Read the reviews and made a call. Best decision I made during this time. Dr Gearhart evaluated my symptoms and went to work with me. Any body with low back pain knows there no fast fix. But what amazes me he takes his time and works with you and if you don’t get it , he stops and explains what you’re doing wrong. Very patient with his clients. I believe he really cares. As of today he the best Dr in world because I can now fish and go about my favorite activities!!!! That means so much to get back to a normal life. If you’re having pain in low back , I highly recommend to go see him It’s life changing and Iam thankful Skipper antley

Fantastic experience: Dr. Jason is top notch. I started seeing him due to a shoulder injury that I was sure would require surgery. After our initial consultation he was able to come up with a therapy plan that has gotten me back to where I was before the injury. I’ve seen him for multiple ailments since and he never disappoints. I recommend Vital 6 to any and everyone trust I am able to.

Fantastic experience: Incredible experience working with Dr. Gearhart to reduce pain associated with scoliosis. I was given highly tailored care that truly got the heart of some very specific issues. He listens, is thoughtful about pushing towards goals and patient with my many questions. 11/10!!

Fantastic experience: I sprained my ankle in a super fast rehearsal process for a musical, and with a huge time crunch was able to be seen by Jason at Vital Six, where they quickly got me in and worked around my difficult schedule. He helped assess the sprain and treat it, and came up with a plan for my recovery and care. I was taught how to tape the ankle, which braces would be most effective, and in each session, had hands-on manual therapy in the surrounding areas to help with my overall healing. I was given exercises based on my situation that certainly helped with my recovery. He was always willing to physically work on (and educate me on) things I asked about, and was incredibly friendly too. I always looked forward to our sessions! I also love the gym the practice is located in - incense at the front desk is my kind of therapy! Would definitely recommend this business.

Fantastic experience: One of the best PT experiences I’ve had, Jason was very considerate and understanding. Gave me exercise to do home and made sure I was focusing on all areas in order to improve my stability, flexibility, strength, etc… I can not recommend him enough. He is very lenient with your schedule and makes sure he pushes you to make you better. He connects with his patients not only about your pt but about your life as well. He is very nice.

Fantastic experience: Dr Jason was very helpful at solving my tendon issue in my wrist! He tailored my treatment to my active lifestyle so that I was able to get back to working out and caring for my son pain free!

Fantastic experience: SHORT version: I came to V6 due to shoulder pain I’d had for about 5 years and hip pain I had for about 2.5 years (I played volleyball in college and ran multiple times a week). I worked with Dr. Gearhart for about 16 sessions. I came in discouraged and not thinking I would be able to run or play volleyball again pain free. I was totally wrong. After my sessions ended, I can now run a few miles pain free and I can play volleyball again with no pain in my shoulder. I cannot recommend Dr. Gearhart enough. He is someone who truly cares about his patients and listens to his patients. I had been to see two different chiropractors before seeing Dr. Gearhart and my pain was only being managed then. At V6, my pain went away because we were addressing the root of the problem in both my hip and my shoulder. Forever grateful to Dr. Gearhart for helping me be able to do the things I love again. If you’re thinking about seeking out physical therapy at V6.. DO IT! LONG version: I played volleyball in high school and in college and in 2018 decided to run a marathon. During training, my shoulder would start hurting during my runs and I would have to run/walk to finish my long runs. During this time, I started going to a chiropractor once a week and they would dry needle my shoulder. This helped me get through training and helped me complete the marathon, but didn’t fix my shoulder pain. I stopped running for about a year and picked running back up in May 2020. I ended up over doing a run (well, a couple runs) and ended up hurting my hip/low back. I went back to a different chiropractor and, again, was met with dry needling and some exercises to help with my hip and low back. Similar to my first experience, nothing helped me feel like my pain was getting better, only that it was being managed. Also at this time, my chiropractor said we had to focus on either my shoulder pain or my hip pain, we couldn’t do both in one session. I stopped seeing this chiropractor in November 2021 with little results. I coach volleyball so my shoulder would hurt after leading a practice. My hip would hurt if I walked for too long to sat for too long. Even though I wasn’t feeling motivated to seek out care again for my hip and my shoulder, I was tired of being in pain by doing things I really enjoyed. I stumbled across V6 physical therapy and I truly could not be happier with my experience. I saw Dr. Gearhart and from our first consultation I had a great feeling about the work we were going to do together. It was the first time I felt like someone was actually listening to me and what was going on with my body. I went into the consultation thinking I was going to have to decide if I wanted help with my shoulder OR my hip, but, to my surprise, we were able to tackle both each session. After about 16 sessions, I can run pain free in my hip and my shoulder, which is huge for me because I love running and wasn’t able to do it for quite some time due to the pain. I can play volleyball again and I have no shoulder pain, which is also so amazing because I love playing volleyball. Forever grateful to Dr. Gearhart for helping me be able to doing the things I love again. If you’re thinking about seeking out physical therapy at V6.. DO IT!

Fantastic experience: I came to Jason with a teres major injury in November. I’m terrible at describing my symptoms and pain levels, but Jason was super patient with me and created a treatment plan that has left me stronger than before. He does a mixture of exercises, tissue work, and dry needling, which I really appreciated. I also like that he sees patients one-on-one rather than juggling several patients each session. All around, I cannot recommend him enough!

Fantastic experience: Let’s just say I’m incredibly thankful I made the decision to FINALLY trust my Chiropractor’s referral to see Dr. Gearhart. My original doctor had tried to get me to reach out for about a year, but I was nervous and afraid it would just be another medical office where my money went down the drain. However, my experience was the complete opposite! I spent 18 weeks with Dr. Gearhart and while it was very slow going since I’ve had chronic back pain for the last 7 years I left being able to live a life I wasn’t able to prior. Before seeing Dr. Gearhart I had been sleeping in a recliner for 9 months as I was unable to lay down in a bed for any length of time, could not lift anything, was in extreme pain just bending over to feed my dogs, go to the bathroom, brush my teeth, or sit down throughout the day to work. My pain had increasingly been getting worse over the years to the point I wasn’t able to really do anything without intense pain. Fast forward to after my time with Dr. Gearhart I am able to walk through stores without intense pain, bend down to feed my dogs, play ball with them, and most importantly I’ve been able to sleep in a regular bed again!!! You truly do not realize how much you miss the small things and take the small things in life for granted when you no longer have the ability to do them. If I stand or sit for too long I still will get pain but Dr. Gearhart has helped me get to a point where I can effectively manage my pain. Spending time finding the root cause of my pain has allowed me to manage my pain and know what not to do or adjustments I can make. I am forever grateful for Dr. Gearhart and what he’s taught me about my body, noticing what causes my intense pain, and better learning how to manage it. If you are on the fence about reaching out, please do. He’s great to work with, patient, flexible, listens to what you are saying and adjust accordingly, and focuses on all the small details that matter. Incredibly grateful for the outcome I’ve had with Dr. Gearhart!

Fantastic experience: Finally, real results worth every dime! I originally visited Jason because I had re-injured my rotator cuff. This injury has been an ongoing issue for almost three years, making it difficult to exercise and sleep. When I originally injured my rotator cuff, I visited 2 physical therapists. I did experience moderate improvement with their help; however, it took nearly six months of ongoing visits and exercises. By comparison, within my first 2 visits with Jason, I experienced significant improvement, and by the 4th visit, I had no more pain. My initial assessment with Jason was the most thorough I have experienced compared to six different physical therapists I have visited over the past decade. At my initial assessment, Jason and I also discussed other injuries that affected my daily activities. Five years prior I had surgery on my neck for two herniated discs related to a sports accident. The surgery was a success in terms of reducing my pain and allowing me to return to sports; however, I continued to experience mild chronic pain. While Jason’s focus was on my rotator cuff, he also incorporated other exercises that helped to reduce the pain in my neck. I have seen multiple physical therapists to help me with my neck injury, but the improvement I experienced was limited at best. What I noticed with Jason is that his approach is more methodical and skillful, not just a one-size-fits-all approach. He paid much closer attention to the mechanics of my body to properly diagnose my injuries and provide the most effective treatment I have experienced to date. My neck pain has seen substantial improvement, and each week as I continue my exercises, I feel better and better. I am extremely satisfied with Jason’s guidance and care. Currently, I am relocating across the country for work, but because my experience was so positive with Jason I plan to continue to work with him during short visits to KC. I have recommended Jason to friends, and my girlfriend and I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to experience real improvement. Jason was worth every dime!

Fantastic experience: Working with Jason has been money well spent. He is truly a master of his craft. I came in with so many messed up body parts and felt totally out of balance. My main goal initially was to improve my squat form. Jason helped me improve my hip alignment, which made my knees feel so much more relaxed while squatting. I feel so much lighter on my feet! He has also helped me make great progress on old injuries—I’ve had a dislocated shoulder, broken leg, and an SI joint injury previously. He gets right to the root of the issue with a quick assessment and I’ve felt a tremendous amount of improvement with everything we’ve worked on. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: Jason, with Vital Six Physical Therapy, was very professional and knowledgeable regarding my shoulder diagnosis. Honesty is very important, and I feel Jason delivered the information regarding my injury with accuracy and followed up with additional education on my part. I would recommend Jason to anyone searching for a physical therapist and would feel confident that they would receive a clear and precise diagnosis.

Fantastic experience: Working with Jason at Vital Six has been one of the best decisions I've ever made for my body and my health. I initially saw him for chronic hip pain that was impacting me to the point where I hadn't been able to sleep through the night without pain in over a year. He performed an evaluation to determine the root cause of the pain, and he prescribed exercises to help correct the improper movement patterns that were causing the pain. Since working with him, I have been pain-free in my hip for almost a year now and can finally sleep through the night again. As a competitive athlete, injuries come up here and there, and Jason has been able to help me recover from all of my injuries and help me learn better body positioning and fix strength imbalances to prevent future injuries. I would not be able to train and perform the way I do without his expertise and guidance, and it has positively impacted my performance in the gym and on the competition floor. I highly recommend Jason and Vital Six if you are struggling with pain and/or imbalances!

Fantastic experience: Jason, is an amazing physical therapist. Spending the first session with Jason, it was clear that he took a very detailed and individualized approach to my issues. Jason takes the time to explain why your ailments are happening, as well as explaining how the treatments are going to alleviate your issues.

Fantastic experience: I came to Jason with a teres major injury in November. I’m terrible at describing my symptoms and pain levels, but Jason was super patient with me and created a treatment plan that has left me stronger than before. He does a mixture of exercises, tissue work, and dry needling, which I really appreciated. I also like that he sees patients one-on-one rather than juggling several patients each session. All around, I cannot recommend him enough!

Fantastic experience: Kind, interested and competent.

Fantastic experience: At V6 Dr. Gearhart makes the effort to assess my function level every session. Also my level of discomfort. He individualizes my treatment accordingly. A plus-he is personable and interested in me as a human being. I value our discussions. I think they’re also therapeutic.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Dr. Gearhart enough! After many failed attempts to correct my back issues through a chiropractor and time off from heavy weights, I feel as though I finally made a breakthrough with Dr. G’s guidance. The exercises were easy to implement in my daily routine, and my lifting technique has improved after making small, but impactful adjustments. Highly recommend if you’re in the KC area! Will definitely return if I ever endure any sports related injuries or want to perfect my physical performance!

Fantastic experience: After a couple of complicated knee surgeries, I turned to V6 Physical Therapy and Performance for help with my recovery. Dr. Jason far exceeded any expectations that I had. The PT sessions were tailored to my level of athleticism and challenging. My progress blew me away. Dr. Jason kept me engaged during tough sessions and also checked in to see where I was mentally during my recovery. I can't say enough good things about services provided and the results I've achieved while working with Dr. Jason. I'm forever a client!

Fantastic experience: I suffered a pretty severe hamstring injury on my right leg in July of 2020. While it slightly improved overtime, running long distances, sprints, and deadlifts all caused pain, and the strength of that leg never was equal to my left leg. In May of 2022, I reinjured that same hamstring to the point where just sitting and driving caused discomfort. I was referred to Jason at V6 Physical Therapy by my orthopaedic surgeon. After diagnosing me with a high hamstring strain, Jason immediately helped through a combination of soft tissue work and exercises that were tailored to equipment that was accessible to me. After 8 weeks of working with Jason, my hamstring has felt as strong as it has ever been, and I can fully return to all the activities and sports I enjoy without fear of pain. Not only that, I actually enjoyed the process. Jason is personable and engaging, and I found myself looking forward to consists rather than dreading them as I had with other physical therapists. I can’t recommend Jason and V6 highly enough.

Fantastic experience: My shoulder was suffering- I'd lost movement, feared that it was a rotator cuff injury and might even need surgery. Dr Jason figured out that it was frozen shoulder and gave me exercises and a ten-week program to follow with weekly visits. While I was there, I mentioned that I'd also had a knee issue with damaged cartilage. He checked out my movement and essentially threw in another program for me to follow at the same time. Incredibly, after 10 weeks my shoulder movement is massively improved. The pain at night is gone. I literally couldn't sleep on my right side. I can now throw a ball for the dog again! In addition, I feel much stronger and can feel a huge difference with my knee and legs. Truly transformational for me. I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Jason has completely changed the trajectory of my health. He is extremely knowledgeable and has developed a treatment/exercise plan that has worked wonders for resolving pain caused by a unique condition I was recently diagnosed with. Not to mention he is a genuinely nice person that will encourage you to do your best, listen to your concerns, and make the process fun. I would highly recommend Jason!

Fantastic experience: I had 12 sessions with Dr Gearhart and it was the best money ever spent. He was patient, understanding and really listened to my challenges and restrictions with the arthritis in my knees. Each week would progress from the previous and he would send out “homework” after each session. I would highly recommend Jason to anyone looking for a great physical therapist.

Fantastic experience: Update: Jason is the best personal trainer and physical therapist I've worked with! After training with him for two years, my posture and strength have seen great improvements! He's helped me heal from injuries, and also build healthy sustainable workout habits, as well as create a program that is personally tailored for me and my abilities . I am so eternally grateful for all his help! ------ Jason is a great physical therapist and personal trainer! He’s knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. I’ve worked with other PTs before and he’s one of the best! I recommend him to those healing from injuries or with chronic problems, but also to anyone interested in improving their overall physical health.

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Jason at V6 for the better part of 2021 for some long standing and complex issues with shoulder and IT band. I have been thoroughly impressed with the progress we have had in reducing the pain I was enduring with my shoulder (I ignored the problem long enough that I will probably never been 100% pain free there). He has kept me on as a patient far longer than I could have expected, truly wanting to make sure that he helps me as much as he can. I cannot say enough about how glad I am to be able to work with him and how pleased I am with the results of that work. If you want to fix a movement issue or recover from an injury and get back to an active lifestyle this is the group for you.

Fantastic experience: Jason is truly a light in the darkness of this world. He healed me with one touch of his hand. Just kidding, that's not true. BUT he is truly a phenomenal PT and a delight to be around even when he's causing you pain. Jason was methodical in his initial assessment of my woes, developed a goal-directed plan of therapy, and even pivoted that plan when I drunkenly broke my foot halfway thru our sessions (oops). I can't say much for his new staff as they were on-boarding as I finished but they were always very polite and I am sure Jason would not hire anyone but the best. The TLDR of this is that Jason is great, will help you get better, and somehow put up with a relentless stream of sass sent his way. Go to him! You won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Jason is very knowledgeable and kind. I went to V6 looking for a more performance specific kind of physical therapy where I could actually. Where instead of working on banded this or that we focused on my form/strength doing movements I found painful. That is exactly what I got I no longer am finding squatting to be painful and know exactly what cues I need to follow for my body. V6 also offers various treatments to help aide in recovery such as dry needling, cupping, and massages. Would highly recommend to anyone

Fantastic experience: Jason was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is very knowledgeable and also easy to talk with. He was able to get me back to running and living with a pain free knee. I’ve even referred a few fellow gym members to him.

Fantastic experience: I had been experiencing neck/shoulder/arm pain for months before I made an appointment with Dr. Jason at V6 Pain Solutions. First and foremost Dr. Jason Gearhart is great to work with. He asks a lot of questions to help understand the issues you have. With answers to his questions and a series of movements he was able to isolate my shoulder issue and identify the right approach for rehabilitation. Over the course of the next few months Dr. Jason provided me with techniques to address the pain and ultimately relieve it completely. I couldn’t be happier with the results and with V6 Pain Solutions and Physical Therapy. I highly recommend you check them out.

Fantastic experience: I have had the pleasure of working with Jason and Mindy while working through some lower leg injuries (all sorts of stuff.. the fun never ends when you're an active person haha). I initially walked in recovering from a calf strain but also had some issues w/ an old ACL injury. He outlined a plan for both and the exercises we did together (and with some homework) really helped to get me back up to speed and moving much better on the soccer field, Crossfit, and honestly just walking down the stairs! In one of my last sessions he even took the time to help me work through some very nuanced/specific exercises for a mild chronic pain issue I've had for decades - it blew my mind how effective it was and I've never gotten that kind of relief from any other PT I've been to for it - how awesome is that?? I find that Jason really takes the time to listen and is thoughtful with his responses. I am the kind of person that likes to understand the mechanics of how things work and he was always super patient in answering my questions and explaining in a way that I could understand. On top of that, he took an active interest in my life and asked thoughtful questions and honestly made going to PT something I genuinely looked forward to! I also visited Mindy for some sports massage on my legs to help supplement all the hard work I was doing. She is very personable and responsive to your level of comfort when doing deeper massage. She used a variety of techniques (including some cupping) to help loosen up some of the tightness in my legs, but also to help aid in recovery from all of the running around I was doing. I always left feeling like I could move so much easier! I would highly recommend V6 to any of my friends and family and look forward to popping in from time to time to continue supporting my active lifestyle. Thanks so much ya'll - it's been a wonderful experience!!

Fantastic experience: I had a nagging shoulder injury from a pro wrestling match for well over a year that I couldn’t seem to get diagnosed/healed properly. Several physical therapists and doctors told me it was fine and gave me generic corrective exercises to do instead of finding the issue. I met Jason of V6 at Cobra Command CrossFit and he took his time evaluating my shoulder and was able to give me an actual diagnosis and reason for my shoulder pain and why it hadn’t healed properly. He was able to supply me with things I could research on my own regarding my shoulder and gave me a ton of rehab movements/exercises to aid in healing it. Before meeting Jason, I was going into each weekend of pro wrestling bookings mentally preparing myself because I knew I would re-aggravate my shoulder at least 1-2 times in my matches. EACH WEEKEND. Since meeting Jason, and following his instruction on rehab, I can say I have not re-aggravated my shoulder in a match and my shoulder has only improved since implementing the things Jason showed me. V6 and Jason are the real deal. Cannot recommend them enough!

Fantastic experience: Let me preface this by saying My boyfriend went here through a recommendation from MVP Fitness after a spinal issue. He’d spent nearly 6 months in pain with visits to multiple doctors and specialists and V6 were the first to help him see a road to recovery. They were kind and thoughtful and explained everything and answered all his questions. Jason, his physical therapist, asked him his goals and now he can sleep, play with the kids, and work without any pain. They’ve never once made him rethink his decision to go there. It’s been a tough, exhausting journey for him but he’s now capable of living his life free of pain from his neck injury. Thank you from a very worried girlfriend! Sincerely, Kayla

Fantastic experience: Jason was able to do in a few months what multiple physicians, specialists and thousands of dollars in treatment could not. I have always lived a very active lifestyle including everything from lifting weights to competing in a triathlon a few years ago but this all stopped when the pain in my shoulder and neck (herniated discs) started. The pain left me unable to sleep or move freely...even walking was painful. I had everything done from injections to an MRI to chiropractic work but at the end of the road there was only a short list of people telling me that I would most likely need surgery. I read about the surgery on the spine and wanted to avoid it at all costs. Enter Jason. Jason examined me, said it would be a long road back and began seeing me weekly. Within a month, I could sleep soundly again. Within two months, I could do normal movement and lightly jog without jolting pain. By the time our sessions were over I was back in the gym, running full stride with no pain at all. I had my life back again. I can't thank Jason and V6 enough for the money and time they saved me. I highly recommend them for anyone that needs help in finding their way back as I did.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Gearhart was incredible to work with from the very beginning. He is a very good listener and makes a great deal of effort to understand all the specific details of the problem you are having. I was not only able to get stellar treatment for the pain I was having while exercising, but I was also able to get honest and sincere support and feedback on my progress. He gave me specific plans aligned to my needs so that I could continue my rehab work when I wasn't in his office. After working with him for 12 weeks - my pain is gone and I am so grateful to have found V6. 10/10 Recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Came in to fix some elbow pain and stayed to get my hips fixed as well. They've been bothering me for years so glad I asked and got some good help!

Fantastic experience: I came to Jason at V6 Pain Solutions almost a year ago with back pain that left me unable to wash my face in the sink. I had already tried three months of traditional physical therapy, were they focused my treatment on mostly stretching. Although I saw some improvements with my back, the pain was still there. I was a pretty active person that had been doing CrossFit for 10 years, I worked out probably 5 to 6 times a week and was playing indoor soccer. I always thought the more I did the better. So when three months of therapy didn’t help I was pretty frustrated, and not sure what else to do except for keep working out. Jason took a different approach, he says my movements where the pain was and also understood what my goals were. He uncovered that it was a hip instability issue and that I was hyper mobile, which I have never heard before. We worked together and little by little Io improved, it took a while because I wasn’t willing to give up all the activities I loved . It was really difficult to understand that things I was doing to my body was not healthy for me and mentally I had to realize less is more. Jason worked with me and we agreed that I could continue playing indoor soccer while I was treated. Today not only does my hip no longer hurt, but I took away some really key things. I don’t need to spend 5 to 6 days busting my butt to stay healthy. Due to my hyper mobility, Crossfit is not an option for me anymore. It’s too risky for me to perform so many fast pace reps with the control and stability that is needed. And lastly, he really taught me that being strong with a single leg movement is much healthier than just two legged movements. I have so many tools to take with me. I enjoyed every session working with Jason and learned so much about myself and about healing. I wish I would’ve came to him years sooner when the pain first showed up, it probably would’ve been a quicker process. If you’re thinking about starting with V6 Solutions, just do it you will not regret it.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Gearhart was recommended to me by a colleague and I couldn’t be more thankful. The time and thought he puts into customizing treatment for recovery makes the experience special. The best part is that my back pain is gone!! I’m glad I finally found my PT in Kansas City!

Fantastic experience: Jason had me do exercises that I thought I couldn't do. My series of appointments indeed gave me strength and less pain....more over they were fun...he tolerated my sarcasm well.

Fantastic experience: After my accident, I could hardly work, even after resting three weeks. After completing the rehab program recommended by V6, I can do everything I need to do with no hesitation or pain. Thank you!!

Fantastic experience: Dr Jason is awesome. He’s has helped me stave off two “40 year old” injuries. Best guy around.

Fantastic experience: Jason has been helpful from day 1. His mix of PT and personal workouts help my journey a lot.

Fantastic experience: As someone who has been dealing with shoulder pain for years, I was very excited at the opportunity to work with Jason at V6 after being recommended by a friend. I knew I wanted to avoid shots or surgery, and after meeting with Jason, I felt really good about having to avoid both. He was able to identify the problem very quickly and immediately told me what I would need to do to start the healing process. Jason laid out a program for me and stayed in constant communication during the 3-month process. He was honest and upfront about my timetable, which was great. It wasn't exactly what I wanted to hear, but it was what I needed to hear. At the end of my three months, I was amazed at my progress, and I know I would have never gotten this far without Jason's guidance. I enjoyed many aspects of my sessions with Jason over three months, but I think my favorite is just Jason himself. I loved meeting with him once a week, and I really felt like I was not just a patient but a friend at the end. So I highly recommend Jason at V6 if you are looking for alternatives to shots or surgeries. So he sets you up for success moving forward instead of putting a bandaid on the issue.

Fantastic experience: Jason is so AMAZING and personable. The coaching and the positive encourage help me to regain confident in my healing and mobility.

Fantastic experience: Jason is very knowledgeable and kind. I went to V6 looking for a more performance specific kind of physical therapy where I could actually. Where instead of working on banded this or that we focused on my form/strength doing movements I found painful. That is exactly what I got I no longer am finding squatting to be painful and know exactly what cues I need to follow for my body. V6 also offers various treatments to help aide in recovery such as dry needling, cupping, and massages. Would highly recommend to anyone

Fantastic experience: As an orthopedic massage therapist, I have experience working with musculoskeletal injuries, and I was very impressed by Dr. Gearheart during my assessment appointment for chronic mid-back and neck pain. Dr. Gearheart asked me incisive questions about my pain and my range of motion and the muscle tests he did were well thought out and had a clear line of reasoning. He very quickly figured out what my problem was. Dr. Gearheart is extremely knowledgeable and tailors your treatment for your problems not doing a cookie cutter exercise program like many other PTs. If you want an excellent physical therapist Dr. Gearheart at V6 is your guy!

Fantastic experience: Jason was so helpful and really went the extra mile to help me get back to running shape. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience with Jason. For years I had been going to chiropractors, trying to stretch and ice my way out of the pain I was having. I ended up just quitting lifting all together because of the repetitive cycle of pulling my back and not understanding why. At my first appointment with Jason, he told me exactly what was wrong and how we could fix it. I’m so glad I decided to work with him, because I can happily say I’m back to lifting with no pain! Not only did he fix my physical issues, he has a personality of gold. Every time I left an appointment, I was in the best mood. I HIGHLY recommend working with him!

Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed working with Jay through some lingering hip pain. V6 offered great service and was incredibly welcoming to me. Definitely recommend checking them out!

Fantastic experience: Jason is your go to guy. I had an injury that needed immediate help My wedding was 2 months away and as someone who is also in the medical field it was very important to me to find a good physical therapist that will help me heal my injury I almost researched every physical therapist in Kansas City and Jason was by far the most professional one I was looking forward for our sessions every week, I attended every session with him, he was very precise, he explained everything to me in details, he worked with me when I felt something was not right, he was extremely professional and very kind. I saw amazing progress every week, and thanks to Jason I was able to dance at my wedding. Thank you Jason for everything.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Jay is amazing. I saw Dr. Jay during my training to run a half marathon. He not only fixed my issues with a thoughtful program, he also got my into a good place to finish my race stronger than I expected. He’s also very easy to talk to and really listens. Would recommend him to everyone!

Fantastic experience: I had Hamstring and knee problems for months and no therapy place was truly wanting to help, so we came to Dr. Jason and it is the BEST physical therapy place around. I’ve been to a lot of known physical therapy places and none of them have compared to V6, you truly get 1 on 1 therapy instead of a loaded therapist with 3 patients at once and u are standing around waiting for them to circle back to you. They change the workouts on how you are progressing and always throw in new challenging workouts. Highly recommend if you actually want to get healthy quick. Only therapy place to give me a challenge!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely HIGHLY recommend Jason Gearhart with V6 for your physical therapy needs. Suffering from a cervical herniated disc for nearly three months and (like another reviewer) having been steered to another PT in accordance with my insurance policy which only worsened my injury and caused me tremendous angst, I decided it time to get the personalized attention my injury demanded to set me on a path to actual recovery where I could commence enjoying life again! From my initial assessment with Jason, I knew he was just the right person (and he certainly was!) with his exceptional knowledge, remarkable listening skills and ability to adapt his approach based on your feedback, and his sincere passion to help rehabilitate. Let me add that Jason is affable and easy-going, and his demeanor promotes a relaxed atmosphere. A final thought, I was delighted to introduce and advocate for the location where Jason and his fiancé have decided to have their "destination" wedding ;)

Fantastic experience: Jason’s is a great physical therapist. Been working with Jason for about 2months. Before I came in a had a great amount of shoulder pain in both arms. I can now say I am pain free and haven’t felt this good in awhile! I will be recommending anyone that needs some work done to Jason!

Fantastic experience: I own Kansas City Barbell, and I have immense experience with the realms of rehab land. Having played superleague rugby, competing in strength sports, and training athletes/lifters over the years, I have seen and had my share of injuries that required PT attention. I contacted Jason to help me rehab my tweaked knee after an unfortunate squatting mishap. I am 45 years old and occasionally prone to fits of ego and delusion when I train. Call it the trappings of "I can still do this" stuck around. I saw Jason for three total appointments, and those were three of the most thorough PT appointments I have ever had. One full hour of work, exercises, follow-up via email with written instructions, and follow-up weeks after the meeting. My injury wasn't rehabbing from surgery; it was more of an acute issue to fix. I didn't need a lot of work or time, just professional guidance, and follow through. Today, I am squatting again without knee pain. I have kept my rather enormous ego away from the barbell on my back, and I still use Jason's rehab work on off days. I will refer anyone to him, athlete or non-athlete. He is caring, complete, and intelligent.

Fantastic experience: Working with Dr Jason has given me the confidence to continue my activities without having to go through surgery. I have twice been recommended to have a knee replacement within 6 months. But, in my very first meeting with Dr Jason, he noticed that the way I walk caused much of the inflammation in my knee. Changing the way you walk is not easy and every step is a thought process! Consequently, my knee is much less swollen, much less painful and my squat form and depth has improved dramatically. My shoulders are a work in progress too! I have learned that Dr Jason's practice of physical therapy stems from pain management and hopefully prevention of injuries with the knowledge of what you can do. Limitations in life are inevitable but with the right treatment, they can be sidelined! Of course, this all takes time and patience and Dr Jason has plenty for his patients. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Jason made me realize I don’t have to live with pain. He gave me a detailed program and worked with me to strengthen my injured foot. He took time to answer all my questions and make sure I understood the purpose of each exercise I was doing. He helped me safely return to the sport I love and the injured area feels stronger than before. His kind manner and great sense of humor helped me enjoy the process of recovery. I would recommend him to anyone that needs help with pain or an injury.

Fantastic experience: When I first arrived at V6 I was experiencing a lot of hip and knee pain. After meeting with Jason I got the sense that he really cared about his patients and their recovery. The one on one care is much different than my past experience with physical therapy groups. Jason is there at every step to make sure you are doing exercises properly. I am now complete with my sessions with Jason. I am feeling much better and am finally able to do most things without pain. If you are looking for a PT, give Jason a call. Highly recommend V6!

Fantastic experience: For anyone who is looking for a Physical Therapist, Vital 6’s Jason Gearhart is your guy! After working with Jason for a couple of months I am in much better condition than when I started. When I met Jason I was having a lot of pain in my shoulders. After working with him I have significantly less pain, better mobility, and understand movement better. Working with Jason has made me a better athlete and also helped to get rid of pain. He is intelligent and diligent, he is a great listener and willing to work with your schedule. I’m grateful that I met him and would recommend him to anyone who is looking to improve their performance or live pain free. Thanks Jason!!

Fantastic experience: Jason has been a HUGE help to me personally. I am a 40 year old weightlifting coach with a long history of sports injury. After working with Jason I am now moving better than I ever have and I am, even at my advanced athletic age, improving at my sport. I will be forever grateful for what Jason has given back to me, my movement. As a professional coach I heartily recommend Jason's services to my clients, and friends, that I feel would benefit from working with him. I have yet to get a negative review from a single person I have referred to him. Jason Gearhart is the real deal. He has an intellect and intuition for his craft that I have rarely seen in my many years in the strength industry. I am grateful to him and can not recommend him highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I had a great time working with Dr.Jason to help with my chronic shoulder pain. I am very active in yoga and crossfit, and just taking deep breathes was irritating enough to come get it checked out. My diagnosed muscle strain was preventing me from enjoying my workouts and everyday activities. Jason is super friendly and easy to talk to and has extensive knowledge to help with chronic strain issues. With his help we worked through exercises to strengthen the surrounding muscles without causing any irritation. I was able to get back into yoga and crossfit after about 8 weeks. I also learned about how to keep my shoulder safe and how to improve my posture to prevent any further irritation down the road. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Three months ago, I couldn’t do air squats without significant pain in my hips and ankles. I tried various stretches which did little to alleviate my discomfort. I went to a Vital 6 Squat Seminar and learned SO much! I decided it was time to take my health and mobility seriously, so I scheduled an assessment with Dr. Jason. He is very intelligent, personable, and eager to help people live a pain-free life. I was given daily exercises, which were updated every week after a check-in with Dr. Jason. My “homework” was a great warm-up before group workouts. I also received Dry-Needling treatments, which I was hesitant to try. There was some mild soreness after my first treatment, but I was surprised at how much better I felt after! I’m now doing squats without pain and I’m more confident during my workouts. Long story short, Dr. Jason is amazing! If you’re experiencing pain from an injury or dealing with limited mobility, I encourage you to schedule a visit.

Fantastic experience: Jason at V6 Pain Solutions is great! I had my first shoulder ''injury'' and wasn't sure how to handle it; thinking it would just eventually go away on its own. Jason came highly recommended and I couldn't be happier w/ the results. 8 weeks of shoulder work and I'm happy to report I'm w/o pain. He is awesome!

Fantastic experience: Jason was wonderful to work with. We started out on my shoulder, but when I suffered an acute calf injury, he quickly switched gears and helped get me back to regular activities. His was very knowledgeable, and even answered my questions outside of sessions. I would not have had the confidence or the ability to get back to my workouts without his help.

Fantastic experience: Jason at V6 was great to work with. I had a mechanical injury to my shoulder playing softball (trying to act younger than I am). It was affecting nearly every aspect of my life from sleep, to picking up my son, to exercising. I spent months trying to do my own "rehab" with little success and was convinced I needed to see an Ortho. That's when I decided to contact Jason as a last resort. The first thing I really appreciated about Jason's process was he spent a lot of time with assessment before we moved onto rehabilitation strategies. I felt he truly understood my injury and what it would take to correct my issues. After 2 months of working with Jason once a week, along with some "homework" outside of our sessions, I am pain free. I have even gained mobility where I had been deficient way before the injury! Jason is a true pro. Trust him, trust his process.

Fantastic experience: I had been in and out of various PT clinics for years trying to combat lower back pain and some functional movement issues (which was the major cause of the back pain). It's really difficult to find a PT who is versed in fitness, functional movement, and adaptive movements for athletes as Jason is. I unnecessarily spent so much money with other PT's and so much excessive time stretching, rolling, stretching, and stretching some more (other PT's approach) before I got to V6. If you're a professional athlete, weekend warrior or somewhere in between and have muscle or joint discomfort during or after exercising, Jason is the right FIRST resource for you! Not to mention he's incredibly personable and professional. He definitely treats his clients with respect and appreciation for their business.

Fantastic experience: Jason was extraordinary to work with throughout the entire treatment plan. His ability to listen and respond to my concerns was greatly appreciated, while challenging me to strengthen my leg in the appropriate way. What I initially thought was a knee issue, was really a glute issue. Teaching my body new movement patterns after 40+ years of walking wasn't easy, but Jason was encouraging while making sure I made progress. I felt like he was on the journey with me rather than being a task master making sure I checked the boxes.

Fantastic experience: I highly RECOMMEND Jason, he is a great physical therapist. I had back pain because of previous disc herniation and tight hamstrings. Jason gave me tips and exercises that had helped me a lot to improve my hip hinge and showed me that it is okay to bend and relax my back. This has changed my life as I am now not afraid of using my back. My back has been much better, and is not causing a lot pain. I also was never able to bend and touch my toes but with the exercises my range of motion has improved greatly and I am very happy as I never thought one day I will be able to touch my toes. :’) Jason is the best!

Fantastic experience: Working with Dr. Jason to rehab my shoulder was an integral step to not have to choose surgery to get the relief I needed. Not only did he help me strengthen my shoulder and work on relieving the pain I was experiencing, he also helped me modify exercises that were causing pain and discomfort, which has been very helpful in my job as a TRX coach. I highly recommend Dr. Jason and his expertise to help you with your pain or physical therapy needs.

Fantastic experience: My treatment with Jason has been excellent! I came to him with lower back, hip and leg pain that was at times debilitating. His unique approach to solving my pain began by uncovering my movement faults and muscular weakness. Then he worked with me to correct the movements and treat weak muscles. My pain had affected me for at least 10yrs and numerous caregivers. Jason solved the puzzle! I feel better now than I have in 10years!

Fantastic experience: Jason is an amazing Physical Therapist. He is extremely knowledgeable, personable, professional, and patient. I first contacted Jason regarding shoulder discomfort and pain I was experiencing when performing overhead lifts and pressing movements. He quickly identified the cause of my pain and developed a personalized treatment plan. During our initial visit, he sat down with me to discuss my personal goals for treatment and set realistic expectations for our appointments. During our appointments, he was always very attentive and extremely easy to talk to. He would demonstrate each exercise and thoroughly explain how each exercise should work and where I should feel each exercise. After each appointment, he sent a follow up email outlining my homework and weekly exercises along with videos of the exercises to reference. It is clear that Jason truly cares about helping his patients reduce pain, improve mobility, and achieve their goals. I am now back to performing overhead lifts and pressing movements pain free all thanks to Jason at Vital Six!

Fantastic experience: I went in for dry needling to release some tight traps, and in 3 sessions, I had full mobility back again! This was after a year of PT elsewhere that just didn't get the job done.

Fantastic experience: Jason was so encouraging and helpful during out time together. He figured out my needs and focused on those areas that needed attention. Veryappy I found him as a trainer. I heartilyy recommend him

Fantastic experience: Jason has helped some of the most complicated pain patients I've referred to him and has resolved my chronic back pain. He not only has the knowledge but he puts CARE into his patients. His ability to find the real issue of why you're having pain is truly amazing. Best physical therapist I've ever met and I have worked inside a hospital with a lot of physical therapists. Highly recommend for all of my family, friends, and our clients inside the gym. Thank you V6!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Gearhart was fantastic! He is professional and knowledgeable. Not only has he helped me recover from a shoulder injury that had been negatively impacting my life for months, he also provided me with the education I need to prevent the injury from recurring. I highly recommend V6!

Fantastic experience: Jason resolved years of chronic pain and stiffness that had remained even through several different courses of treatment. His deep knowledge and ability to explain complex body systems make it easier to understand the issues and will hopefully keep them from ever coming back!

Fantastic experience: Recently had some serious back probs. The surgical solution would have been an major, invasive surgery, involving pins and rods etc.. so..I sought a solution thru Physical Therapy. My past experiences with PT folks had been mixed..some fine therapists..others would just work with me for 10-15 minutes..then put me on the exercycle for the remainder of the session. Dr Gearhart had come highly recommended by friends, but , my health insurance wouldn't cover it.. so.. after much consideration.I decided it was worth the gamble to pay in advance for our 15 sessions..and .. the gamble paid off -BIG TIME!! When I started, I could barely walk to the mailbox..these days I'm doing 30 minute walks..playing pickleball.working out..and looking forward to getting back on the links! All thanks to the great sessions with Jason. He would prescribe and carefully monitor my stretches and exercises during the entire 60 minutes of our sessions. Then, he follow-ups with emailed "homework" assignments, with the recommended exercises illustrated by vids along with instructions.He was always responsive to my emailed questions and phone calls. the staff at his office was always helpful, friendly, and cheerful. The 15 sessions with Dr. J did wonders for my physical, and mental, health! Most definitely money well spent! I highly, very highly recommend Dr Jason Gearhart for your physical therapy and sports therapy needs!

Fantastic experience: I developed some shoulder/neck stiffness and tightness after a lot of golfing and walking the course with my golf bag. It got to the point where it started hurting outside of golf. I spent quite a while going to different places only getting bandaids put on it. Finally found Jason and right away he was doing more than just bandaids and cover ups. He figured out what was wrong, made me a plan, and instead of covering the issue up, he got rid of it completely and I was finally able to play a full 18 with no pain.

Fantastic experience: Jason was wonderful to work with. We started out on my shoulder, but when I suffered an acute calf injury, he quickly switched gears and helped get me back to regular activities. His was very knowledgeable, and even answered my questions outside of sessions. I would not have had the confidence or the ability to get back to my workouts without his help.

Fantastic experience: Can’t say enough great things about Jason! He knows his stuff! I experienced a thorough evaluation, really narrowing down to the nitty gritty of the root cause of problems I was having. In addition I received a well thought out plan of care and received clear instructions and cueing on how to perform each piece. I have continued to use some of these pieces as I continue to train. I can say I have really seen a great deal of progress since meeting and working with Jason.

Fantastic experience: Jason was really great to work with. I developed problems with my shoulder likely from poor form at my crossfit gym, and Jason was able to diagnose and treat my symptoms. He explained the underlying mechanism causing my symptoms and made sure I didn't have any questions left unanswered. He provided me with exercises including videos in a spreadsheet as homework to help me achieve my goal.

Fantastic experience: I was blown away by the facility he is in! I have been struggling with my hips not moving like I want them to. He took me through a very detailed exam, and he got down to the cause of the issue. He explained the issue very clearly and gave me a great program to help correct the issue. I 10/10 recommend everyone going to see him!

Fantastic experience: The dry needling session with Jason was awesome! The quick but accurate and informative analysis and assessment was perfect to identify the area which would benefit from the needling. I always tell people that I refer to Jason to ask any questions you may have about your body or treatments. This guy will always give you things to consider and implement.

Fantastic experience: Jason did a fantastic job on my back. I cam in with tremendous lower back pain. Jason assessed me we came up with a treatment plan. I feel worlds better today and its all thanks to Jason. Very knowledgeable and competent. I would recommend Jason to anyone looking to get pain free and active again!
