I am Jimmy Picard, a physical therapist and coach based in Roanoke, Virginia, specializing in helping runners and cyclists overcome injuries and achieve their goals.
My journey began at The College of William and Mary, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, while running track and cross-country.
But life had its trials; the tragic loss of my brother to suicide led me on a 45-day solo bike ride across the U.S. to raise awareness for teen suicide prevention.
Post-college, my passion for running continued, setting personal records across various distances. However, an unexpected injury shifted my focus to cycling, where I quickly fell in love with the sport, enjoying both riding and racing.
This detour into cycling and personal struggle with injuries inspired my pursuit of a career in physical therapy, culminating in a Doctorate from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2014.
Now, I focus on treating endurance athletes, blending my experiences as an athlete with my clinical skills.
Beyond the clinic, I am a family man, still actively racing bikes and running, driven by the same competitive spirit that defines my professional dedication to helping athletes recover, excel, and enjoy their sports.
No insurance needed. No referral needed.
Redefine Physical Therapy is an out-of-network provider. Being out-of-network allows us to deliver the best possible care. It puts you in the driver’s seat, NOT the insurance company.
You can easily determine your out-of-network physical therapy benefits by calling the number on the back of your insurance card. Oftentimes, your insurance company will reimburse you for some if not all of your PT services especially if you have a PPO plan.
As a “fee for service” model, payment is made at the time of service and there are no hidden costs. As a medical expense, you can use your HSA or FSA account to pay for physical therapy services. We accept payment through cash, credit card, and HSA/FSA card.
The state of Virginia allows you to see a physical therapist without a referral from your doctor. Physical therapists are musculoskeletal specialists. We are trained to diagnose and can identify conditions that are not appropriate for physical therapy. We will assess for any red flags and refer them out when necessary.
