Dr. Lena Okafor
PT, DPT. Clinic director
Lena founded Bajada after a decade in hospital outpatient clinics. She works mostly with knee, hip and post-surgical rehab and likes a clear plan with fewer, better exercises.
Independent physiotherapy in central Phoenix
Fifty-minute, one-to-one sessions with a licensed physical therapist. You see the same person each visit, leave with a plan written in plain language, and always have time to ask questions.
Private treatment roomsEvery session happens behind a closed door, never on an open gym floor.
Most care plans combine a few of these. Your therapist explains why each part is there, and you can say no to anything at any point.
Hands-on work is one tool among several. Exercise you can do at home is usually the larger part of a plan.
A conversation about your history and goals, a movement assessment, and a first treatment. You leave with a written summary and a few exercises to start with.
One-to-one sessions with the same therapist. Each visit starts with a check-in on how the week went and adjusts the plan from there.
Hands-on techniques such as joint mobilization and soft-tissue work, used alongside exercise when your therapist thinks it is a good fit.
For runners, hikers, climbers and weekend players. Includes load planning and a gradual, written return-to-activity schedule.
Care that follows your surgeon's protocol. With your permission, we send progress notes to your surgical team.
Assessment and treatment with a therapist trained in pelvic health, in a private room. Internal examination is always optional.
Three licensed physical therapists, each with their own treatment room. When you book, you can choose a therapist or take the first opening.

New patients get a 60-minute appointment. Here is how that hour usually goes.
We email a short intake form after you book. It takes about ten minutes and means less paperwork at the front desk. Please arrive five minutes early.
Your therapist asks about what's going on, what you've already tried, and what you'd like to get back to. This usually takes the first fifteen minutes.
Gentle movement, strength and joint testing, chosen for your situation. Your therapist explains each test and asks before any hands-on work.
You'll talk through what was found, try a first treatment, and leave with a written plan: home exercises, a suggested number of visits, and the reasoning behind it.
Your exercises and notes arrive by email the same day. If anything is unclear, reply and your therapist will answer within one business day.
Choose a treatment, a day and a time. We'll confirm by phone or email within one business day.
Costs should be clear before you arrive. If something here doesn't answer your question, call the front desk.
Sample rates for this concept. Payment is due at each visit.
We work with many commercial health plans. Send us your plan details when you book and we'll check your physical therapy benefits before your first visit, including any copay, deductible or visit limits.
If we're out of network for your plan, we can give you an itemized receipt (a superbill) to submit for possible reimbursement.
Often not. You can book directly, and we'll let you know if your situation or your insurance plan requires a physician referral before treatment continues.
Yes. Physical therapy is generally an eligible expense, and we accept HSA and FSA cards like any other debit or credit card. Check with your plan administrator if you're unsure.
Major credit and debit cards, HSA and FSA cards, and contactless payments. We don't accept cash or checks.
