Welcome to Physical Therapy in Motion! We teach you how to be pain-free with our powerful one-on-one treatment. Specializing in the McKenzie Method, we emphasize empowerment and self-treatment for conditions of the back, neck and extremities. By quickly identifying specific movements, we often facilitate improvement of your symptoms on day one. We’ll help you gain control of your pain and teach you to successfully treat yourself. Most importantly, we answer two questions nearly every patient wants to know: How can I make sure this doesn’t happen again? What should I do if it does?

I came to Dr. Wood in Cool Springs/Franklin because I was having knee and hip pain. I wanted a specialist experienced in working with this sort of problem. She made a thorough examination of my gait/walk and posture. Base on that evaluation, she gave me several exercises to try during the session to see which would be most helpful. She sent me short videos showing how to do each exercise correctly, the number of reps and frequency. I'm improving after the second visit. I highly recommend Dr. Susan Wood.

I have had a great experience with PT in Motion in Franklin. After having ankle pain for several months, trying a few other treatment options which didn't work, I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Wood. I had not considered physical therapy until a friend suggested Dr. Wood. On my first appointment, she thoroughly evaluated my gait and prescribed exercises to restore the natural alignment in my feet. Within 3 weeks I was walking better and most importantly without pain. I am so grateful for Dr. Wood and the type individualized care she provides. PT in Motion is worth the drive from Brentwood or even Nashville.

Just wanted to share how wonderful Susan is to work with. I had full knee replacement surgery in January 2022 and although I had 8 weeks of physical therapy, I was still not able to do many of the things that I had prior to my surgery. Susan asked me a lot of questions, watched me walk, etc., and we developed an exercise program that would help my knee to move more freely. I am happy to say that it worked and I couldn’t be happier with my progress. I am so grateful! Thank you Susan.

Dr. Susan is amazing! What we are told is our issue versus finding out what the real issue is can be an enlightening experience. Dr. Susan takes the time to dive deeply into the issue and find the triggers that causes pain, then finds the right stretches and exercises to alleviate that pain…without popping pills! I had a major accident in 2014 and have had to live with tingling in arms, pain in shoulders, and severe headaches. Dr. Susan helped me eliminate these issues with some simple stretches. She also helped me with knee pain that has me in tears and reducing the joy of simple activities. If you are struggling with pain of any kind, you owe it to yourself to reach out to Dr Susan. Simply. The. Best!

Susan was amazing to work with. She is truly interested in the best interest of the patient. She has a wealth of knowledge on the workings of the body and why you are feeling the way you are feeling. Her stretches and exercises got my back feeling much better and now I am packed with the knowledge of how to assess my back on a daily basis to see how I am feeling and a plethora of exercises to perform to keep my back healthy and to prevent any major back pain in the future. I highly recommend Susan for any kind of back pain you might be experiencing. She will help make pain a thing of the past.

As a 21 year old who has been struggling with a whiplash neck injury for almost 2 years now, i cannot describe how happy i am typing this review. Susan has helped me progress more in 2 months, than many other doctors and specialists have with me in the past 2 years! She listens, and thoroughly breaks down the issue, the solutions, and the appropriate measures at which to start the recovery process. Susan has helped me every step of the way, and is always there to help me if i have questions. Very satisfied and grateful!

Susan is a Rockstar when it comes to creative pain care! I was in a car accident and starting feeling hip pain and a headache a day later. She got me in the next day and my hip was better within 24 hours. My whiplash headache was lingering so I saw her for two weeks to develop a care plan I can do by myself when it flairs up. She's so knowledgeable and compassionate!

Owner/Physical Therapist
Throughout my early career as a therapist, I was frustrated with my ability to make a tangible difference for my patients, especially with the time limits placed on my interactions with them. I deeply wanted to help my patients relieve their pain, but seeing multiple patients at a time, as well as having a highly regimented schedule, left me disappointed. Physical Therapy in Motion is my solution for having more satisfying outcomes for my patients.
My certification in McKenzie’s Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy, enables healing for my patients through a reliable, evidence-based system. I structure treatments and implement practical interventions that work. I show patients how to understand their bodies and treat themselves. Simply put, it’s my passion to see people empowered with a long-term solution for their care.
A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, I grew up playing volleyball and competing with my seven brothers and sisters. I attended the University of Kentucky for my undergraduate degree and The Ohio State University where I received my Doctorate in Physical Therapy.
I currently live in Brentwood with my family. I love traveling, hiking, connecting with nature, and reading. As an athlete, I’m competitive by nature and have even completed a few marathons and half Ironmans!
