SCREENING

What Makes Physical Therapy in Motion Different

1-on-1 Plus+ Care

We value your time and effort so you deserve our undivided attention to get the most out of each session. We also offer constant contact. Don’t wait! We encourage communication via our patient message portal to answer questions or tweak your program between visits.

Self Treatment

We believe in empowering you by prescribing specific exercises, helpful postures, and activity modifications that give you the control, not your condition. Often we can identify 1-2 simple movements on day one that will immediately impact your symptoms.

Prevention

Treatment doesn’t stop when you walk out of our office. We train you for a successful transition past our care – for life. We teach you practical ways to prevent recurrence, tips and warning signs for early detection and how to self-treat should they recur.

McKenzie Method Therapy

The McKenzie Method is a biopsychosocial system of musculoskeletal care emphasizing patient empowerment and self-treatment. This system of diagnosis and patient management applies to acute, subacute and chronic conditions of the spine and extremities. It offers a reliable and practical approach that focuses on “what patients need” and not on “what therapists want to do”.

Benefits of McKenzie Include:

  • Proven: Backed by years of research, evidence and clinical practice.
  • Efficient: Known to show results in as little as two to three visits.
  • Personalized: Assessment-driven and individualized treatment plans.
  • Cost efficient: Treatment without expensive tests or procedures.
  • Non-invasive: No needles, no scalpel.
  • Self-directed and managed: We work with you and teach you.
  • Preventative: Lifelong knowledge and skills.

GOATA Movement Training

GOATA stands for Greatest Of All Time Actions. It is a movement system that is centered around slow-motion observation of the world’s most durable humans. The program is a process of “recoding” or reverse engineering the movement cycle to restore to the innate design for human movement. In the process you become more efficient, improve performance, and often resolve pain.

Benefits of GOATA Include:

  • Sports performance: GOATA training helps create movements that improve power and explosion.
  • Reduces stress on tendons and ligaments: GOATA training helps reduce stress on tendons and ligaments.
  • Re-codes movement patterns: GOATA training uses exercises to help people re-code their back to the evolutionary movement patterns they were born with.
  • Reduces risk of injury: GOATA training can help people become non-contact injury resistant.
  • Helps with chronic pain: GOATA training can help eliminate chronic back and knee pain.
  • Can be done anywhere: GOATA workouts can be done anywhere with little to no equipment.

About the Owner

It’s my passion to see people empowered with a long-term solution for their care.”

Owner/Physical Therapist
GOATA Coach

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.

I am also certified in GOATA Movement, which allows me to offer two different types of effective treatments for my clients. These treatments can be used separately or in combination to address a huge variety of physical issues.

Simply put, it’s my passion to see people empowered with a long-term solution for their care.
