Why Choose Us

Different Where It Matters

Standard PT clinics run high volume. NorthPoint runs one-on-one, every time. No shared treatment rooms, no rotating staff, no cookie-cutter protocols. Just a Doctor of Physical Therapy with the time and framework to find what is actually causing the problem — and build a plan that lasts.

One-on-One, Every Session

Full attention for the entire visit. No shared care, no aides, no handoffs — the same provider from eval to discharge.

Results That Actually Last

Every plan is built around a root-cause analysis. Clients leave with a clear understanding of what changed and how to keep it.

Comprehensive evaluation

We look at how the whole body moves, not just the symptomatic area. If prior care only treated the spot, this is different.

Performance-First Perspective

Whether you are dealing with pain or chasing higher output, the goal is a body that performs — and holds up under the demands you place on it.

How It Works

Reset. Rebuild. Refine.

Reset

A comprehensive evaluation to uncover the root cause and assess how the body is truly functioning as a whole.

Rebuild

A personalized plan designed to restore balance, improve performance, and reduce pain — built around what the evaluation actually found.

Refine

Guidance to maintain changes, build resilience, and continue improving — so results carry forward long after the sessions end.

Meet Your Provider

Dr. Alex Watkins

PT, DPT

Dr. Alex Watkins is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and a certified Functional Patterns Human Biomechanics Specialist. At NorthPoint Performance, Dr. Alex works one-on-one with each client to identify the root cause of pain or movement dysfunction — not just manage symptoms.

Dr. Alex's approach integrates a full-body understanding of biomechanics with an individualized plan of care, grounded in evidence-based technique and a deep respect for how the human body is designed to move. Every session is built around the client's goals, lifestyle, and long-term outcomes — and includes the education they need to maintain progress independently.

What Clients Are Saying

Trusted by active adults and athletes across Greater Hartford, CT.

Dr. Matthew Castanho, ND
Alex is the best! He is patient and so knowledgeable. I have worked with him first after my back surgery and then when I injured my knee. By the end of our sessions I was pain free in my knee and left with all the correct guidance to continue healing at home with my back. He is the best!
sara ricco
Alex is amazing!! Such a fantastic character. Going through PT for my scoliosis has helped me greatly with my current work position, constantly sitting at a desk. As I use the exercises given to me at home, my posture continues to improve!
vikkie pozzuto

Kristen Fraska
Dr Alex is extremely knowledgeable and motivated. He made himself a resource to my recovery even outside of my scheduled appointment times.
Shane Coates
I have been training with Alex for 8 weeks now and in that time frame I have seen noticeable improvements in my posture, balance, leg strength, and coordination while performing complex movements. He’s done a great job explaining my imbalances and corrective exercises while answering any questions I’ve had.
Matthew Ramos
Alex is very thorough and has addressed my concerns with a different approach than I have had in the past, which is refreshing! He has renewed my hope for further pain relief. After a few sessions I am activating muscles that I haven't in years.
Kristin Partington
Alex is very knowledgeable and has a keen eye for picking up on functional imbalances. He is also devoted to making sure each client gets the care they need as an individual and is always very responsive to questions both in session and between sessions.

Common Questions

Answers to what most people want to know before reaching out.

How is this different from the physical therapy I already tried?

Most PT clinics are structured around high volume and short visits. At NorthPoint, every session is one-on-one with the same Doctor of Physical Therapy from your first visit to your last. We start with a comprehensive evaluation that looks at how the whole body moves — not just the symptomatic area — and build a plan based on what we actually find.

Do you accept insurance?

NorthPoint is a direct-access, out-of-network clinic. Clients pay directly; HSA and FSA are accepted. We can provide a superbill after each session, which you can submit to your insurance provider for possible out-of-network reimbursement. We do not guarantee reimbursement — that is between you and your plan.

How do I get started?

The first step is a free phone consultation. We talk through what you are dealing with, what you have already tried, and whether NorthPoint is the right fit. If it is, we schedule a comprehensive initial evaluation — a full movement assessment and root-cause analysis that forms the foundation of your individualized plan of care.

Do I need a doctor's referral to be seen?

No referral is needed. Connecticut allows direct access to physical therapy, so you can book a consultation without seeing your physician first. That said, if you have recent imaging or records from a prior provider that are relevant, we welcome that context — it helps us build a more complete picture from the start.

Is telehealth available?

Yes. Telehealth is available for appropriate cases. It works well for movement consultations, program review, and follow-up visits where in-person hands-on work is not required. If you are unsure whether your situation is a fit for telehealth, that is a great thing to discuss during your free phone consultation.

Still have questions?
