About Vital Six Physical Therapy & Performance - Kansas City

Vital Six Physical Therapy and Performance is a Kansas City, Missouri practice located at 2540 West Pennway. The clinic presents itself as a fellowship trained physical therapy and performance center for active adults and other adults who want to stay healthy, independent, and active without being limited by pain. Its care model is built around the idea that movement should be treated as an essential marker of health, so visits focus on how a person moves, compensates, and stabilizes rather than only reacting to the painful area. The clinic describes a first session as a detailed process that includes learning the patient’s history, lifestyle, and stressors, observing movement patterns, forming a working theory about the source of limitation, and then testing and refining a plan of care.

The practice lists services that include diagnostic evaluation, manual therapy, dry needling, education and ergonomics, sports based rehabilitation, pre and post surgery care, personal training, balance and fall prevention, and care related to work or auto accidents. Additional treatment offerings on the site include cupping, sports massage, Active Release Technique, scraping, and blood flow restriction. Conditions and problems mentioned across the website include back pain, sciatica, herniated discs, neck pain, shoulder pain, rotator cuff problems, hip impingement, labral tears, bursitis, knee injuries including ACL issues, ankle sprains, and plantar fasciitis. The team information highlights founder Dr. Jason Gearhart, PT, DPT, CSCS, who has a background in exercise physiology, a doctorate in physical therapy, post doctoral orthopedic fellowship training, and advanced manual therapy training. The site also names Julia Andriotis, PTA, as a running rehab specialist, and Ciera Harris as a client care specialist.
