Dr. Jay Skeldon, DPT
Dr. Skeldon has spent the last 13 years treating orthopedic and sports injuries from head to toe, in patients of every age, from pediatrics to geriatrics and everything in between — weekend runners managing a nagging knee or aching Achilles, competitive athletes rebuilding a shoulder after surgery, including gait and running mechanics. Along the way he's built working relationships with orthopedic surgeons and primary care physicians throughout the area, collaborating on shared patients' care. That experience shapes a simple belief: recovery goes faster when one clinician owns your whole plan, session to session, instead of handing you off between aides.
SkeldonPT was built around that idea. Every evaluation, every treatment session, and every home program comes from the same clinician, start to finish — measured, tracked, and adjusted as you progress, the same way a good orthopedic plan should be.
Treatment draws on hands-on techniques including Graston-certified instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization and manual joint mobilization, paired with progressive strength and movement work to address both the tissue and the mechanics behind your pain.
Orthopedic and sports injury rehab
Thirteen years of orthopedic practice, concentrated on every major joint — plus the gait and running mechanics that connect them — helping athletes maximize their potential and every patient regain the function they lost after an injury.
Shoulder
Rotator cuff injuries, impingement, post-surgical rehab, frozen shoulder, and overhead-athlete throwing mechanics.
Frozen shoulder · Instability
Knee
ACL and meniscus rehab, patellofemoral pain, post-op recovery, and return-to-run and return-to-sport programming.
Patellar tendinopathy · Total knee replacement
Hip & Spine
Hip impingement, labral tears, and post-surgical hip rehab, alongside disc-related pain, sciatica, and chronic low back pain — building the strength to lift, sit, and move without guarding.
Disc herniation · Sciatica · Low back pain
Ankle, Foot & Gait
Sprains, tendinopathies, post-surgical rehab, and a detailed gait and running mechanics assessment to fix the pattern driving the pain.
Achilles tendinopathy · Running gait analysis
Why go cash-based for physical therapy?
Insurance billing shapes how most clinics deliver care — visit limits, productivity quotas, and treatment plans built around what a code covers instead of what your shoulder actually needs. Cash-based PT flips that.
Typical Insurance-Based PT
SkeldonPT
From first visit to full recovery
Initial Evaluation
A full 75-minute session: movement assessment, joint measurements, strength testing, and a conversation about what "recovered" looks like for you specifically.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Your therapist builds a plan targeted at your goal and timeline — not a generic protocol — and walks through it with you before treatment starts.
Hands-On Care & Movement Training
Manual therapy, targeted strengthening, and movement retraining, delivered one-on-one for the full session, every time.
Progress You Can See
Range of motion and strength are re-measured throughout care, so you know exactly how far you've come — in degrees, not guesswork.

What recovery looked like for them
From the very beginning, Jay's patience, kindness, and genuine concern made every therapy session a positive experience. He always took the time to answer my questions thoroughly and explain how my injury was affecting my walking, balance, and overall progress. His clear explanations helped me better understand my recovery and gave me confidence that I was moving in the right direction. Jay's encouragement and professional expertise have meant more to me than he probably realized. Recovering from this injury was not always easy especially at my age but his positive attitude and caring approach made the journey much easier.
I have been seeing Jay since he began his PT career and I have returned to him time and time again for help with my chronic illness which requires constant physical therapy, as well as rehab for multiple complex orthopedic surgeries. Jay is extremely personable, thorough, and effective in his treatment. He works to get to the root of the pain and find the best plan of care for a successful recovery. Everyone who sees Jay is in great hands and after over a decade in his care, I continue to recommend him as a physical therapist.
Jason always tailored my treatment plan based on how I was progressing and wasn't afraid to make adjustments when needed. I really appreciated how attentive he was to my individual needs and how invested he was in helping me get better. I would highly recommend Jason to anyone looking for an experienced, knowledgeable, and personable physical therapist.
