Susan is the best PT I've worked with! I herniated a disc at L5/S1 and could barely stand or move the first time I came in. About 10 visits later I was back to normal, no surgery needed. She adjusted the plan every session based on how I was actually doing that day instead of running me through a script, and she explained things along the way so I understood what we were working toward. Professional, but it never felt rushed or routine, she genuinely cared. If you're dealing with a disc issue and hoping to avoid surgery, go see her!

Susan was great. I was having really bad achilles tendonitis and she was able to get me back to running and playing rugby.

I started working with Susan Wood after 15 years of off and on pain related to an old injury. I had seen physical therapists in larger PT groups - often connected to an Orthopedic physicians group, covered by my insurance. The experience was always being one of 3-4 other patients seen by one therapist at a time and the outcome was rarely effective. Susan Wood pinpointed the cause of my pain within minutes of our initial session and provided me with tangible stretches and exercises that have me closer than ever to being actually pain free. I have learned so much in the short time I have worked with her. Whether you are actively recovering from an injury or dealing with chronic pain - Susan Wood can help you! I am very grateful to have found someone so willing to listen and experiment with me to get to the ROOT cause of my issues.

Susan is amazing! I went to her for both a short-term injury and decades-long back pain. With both issues, she carefully took the time to understand the root causes and in the process helped me learn how to better listen to my body and take care of my pain. I went to a big PT chain first and felt like I got generic exercises with little personal attention - this was completely different and totally worth it. I can’t recommend Susan highly enough!

I only have good things to say about my experience. I called Susan out of desperation after a couple of months mostly ignoring a disk issue from years of poor posture and a long plane ride. She took the time to work me through several exercises until finding one that helped. After a few months and added exercises, I was walking and moving so much easier and with a lot less pain. It was a year long process but every month was better than the previous until I got full range of motion back. She helped me avoid surgery, learn posture, and a handful of exercises that I continue to use to strengthen my back, position it correctly, and work it through its range of motion. I know where I will be going next time I find myself needing PT.

Susan is incredibly knowledgeable and personable.  Informed by her training in the Mckenzie Method, her ability to investigate and get to the root cause of the pain shapes her treatment plan.  Susan then clearly communicates the necessary information about the proper techniques so that her patients can successfully practice the exercises to enhance their healing.  Susan has become my "go to" over the last several years to help keep me moving!

Susan is exactly what my pain needed!  She is the whole package, professional and very knowledgeable, and also caring and fun.  She worked with me to help manage my pain in a way that has never been done before. She taught me so much during my time with her. I would recommend her to anyone who is experiencing pain and needing relief.

I’m so thankful to have found Susan. I struggle with recurring back pulls and pain. In the past I’ve had professionals treat the symptoms, but Susan has helped me identify triggers and showed me solutions. With her help I believe I’m on a path to healing. She is kind, professional, very knowledgeable and easy to talk to.

Highly recommend Dr. Wood for physical therapy. She has helped me naturally treat severe sciatica via body movements. This was huge for me personally since my goal was to avoid surgery. Dr. Wood is patient, empathetic, educational, and deeply cares about her patients. I gained understanding on proper posture when sitting, standing, and walking which were all beneficial for long-term wellness.

I’d give Susan 10 stars if I could. I was honestly hesitant at first—I’m not an athlete and she’s not covered by insurance—but after just a few sessions, the back pain I’ve dealt with for 25 years is gone. After a herniated disc and a referral from Vanderbilt, she took the time to really get to know me and my day-to-day life. She gave me practical ways to do what's necessary in my life like lift my 40-pound child, unload a Costco grocery haul, and actually live my life without making things worse. Her exercises fixed the pain I had and taught me how to keep it from coming back. I’ve never felt better, and I’m so grateful I found her.

I am so grateful to have met Susan. When I met her, I was living with a lumbar disc injury and sciatica pain (8/10) for over a year, and I was beginning to think surgery was necessary. Susan listened to my story, watched my motion, and over the past several months she prescribed physical therapy, and now I am living most days with 0/10 pain! Susan's understanding of the McKenzie method is HUGE, and it certainly contributed to my recovery. But, her ability to adapt and apply 'variations' catered to my specific situation is why I kept coming back to her. Throughout my recovery, she has been able to help me judge when an exercise is appropriate, and when it's too soon to attempt - something that I greatly value over the more 'formulaic' one-size-fits-all approach that I came across previously. Susan is patient, honest, and will listen to your concerns/frustrations and help you get through the pain. She has lead me in all the proper directions, and I highly recommend her!

Susan is excellent! I came to Susan for my 9 year old daughter who had experienced a heel injury that was flaring up during soccer practice. Within 6 weeks my daughter was pain free and has maintained that throughout the entire soccer season. Susan was thorough and patient. Conducting virtual sessions with kids is a challenge and Susan did a great job keeping my daughter engaged. Thank you!

I cannot recommend Susan and her practice highly enough. For years, I've struggled with persistent knee pain on long hikes and thought it was something I'd just have to live with. Susan's approach is different. She is incredibly inquisitive and takes the time to dig deep and find the true root of the issue. She then lays out a clear, understandable treatment plan to address it. The results were amazing! Susan helped me accomplish a huge goal in a very short amount of time. If you want results, this is the place to go.

I cannot recommend Physical Therapy In Motion highly enough! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and cared for. Susan is professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. She took the time to really listen to my concerns, explain the treatment plan clearly, and tailor every session to my needs. Not only have I experienced tremendous progress in my recovery, but I’ve also learned exercises and techniques that help me to stay strong and prevent future injuries. Susan’s encouragement and positive energy made every visit something I looked forward to. If you’re looking for a physical therapist who truly goes above and beyond—someone who combines expertise with genuine compassion—this is the place to go!

You will not be disappointed when you choose Dr. Susan Wood as your PT!  I came to her with some serious pain due to plantar fasciitis in my left foot. I’d been dealing with it for over a year and had already been to a podiatrist who only recommended stretching the foot and wearing a boot. After just a few visits Dr. Susan diagnosed the issue had more to do with my back than my foot and recommended a stretching regime to loosen my back. My foot is 100% better as I’m able to now do the activities I was able to do before the pain started!

Susan Wood is a very talented and caring PT. My ortho recommended her for treating my neck/arm pain. She helped me tremendously! She determined the mechanical issues causing my pain, provided exercises and hands on techniques to treat the pain and improve my mobility, and taught me tools to use on my own to continue managing my chronic situation and return to the activities I enjoy.

I immediately felt so comfortable with Ms.Susan she was the sweetest and very knowledgeable. She made sure to ask all the right questions and really cared about finding the root of the problem. She really cared to make sure I left with the knowledge I needed so I wouldn’t be in pain and had no issues texting back if I had any questions.  I would recommend her to anybody! Will definitely be going back! Thank you so much Ms.Susan you are the best!

Susan is incredible! I was referred to her by a friend of our family, who also happens to be a physical therapist. She helped me work through several issues by providing specific, targeted exercises over several months. It is clear she cares deeply for her patients’ well being, and she is truly invested in proving a path to wellness, injury management, and improved quality of life. I could not be a bigger fan, you’ll be glad you found her.

Susan has been immensely helpful in resolving several areas of pain and injury. She took the time to understand how my profession was contributing to my issues, saw me regularly in-office, and provided me with exercises I could do at home.  I now have a routine of stretches I can rely on to help prevent the pain from returning. She also has taken the time to evaluate my walking and running techniques to ensure I am able to exercise with proper posture and positioning, preventing risk for future injury. She has helped me better understand how my body should move and function. I have seen her off and on for over a year now and highly recommend to anyone looking for effective treatment of their pain or injury.

Susan has been a lifesaver for my back! I have learned so much about my spine, stretching, functional movement patterns and so much more. She is always on time, listens so well and ensures i understand my homework! I truly appreciate that her goal is to discharge me from PT; rather than keep appointments on the calendar! She is one smart cookie who makes PT enjoyable.

When I first saw Susan, I had a pain in my foot for any run over 3 miles. Only a few months later, I finished a half marathon. I recommend PT in Motion to anyone who tells me about an ache or pain they're having. Susan actually listens, thinks critically about what your body is doing (or not doing), and I've seen results from my very first visit. And I keep going back because she's helped me strengthen in ways that prevent injuries.

Susan is very knowledgeable and easy to work with! I have had neck pain since 2014 and lower back pain since 2021 and within just a few sessions both of pain points had significantly improved. I had done years of other physical therapy and chiropractic work without these results. My wife and I will be clients of Susan anytime we need help in the future.

Susan was amazing after I herniated a disc in my back. The McKenzie method, which she specializes in, is intended to help this issue in a nonsurgical manner. While the work required was not pain free, it certainly improved my movement within days and had my baseline pain significantly better within days. This injury has flared multiple times over the years and she always is able to get me from not walking to walking within 48 hours. I’m so grateful to have found her! She has gone on to help me with multiple other issues including Achilles tendinitis and neck pain, and it’s so easy without the hassle of insurance!

Susan TRULY knows how to help her clients. The stretching she showed me was game changing for my neck. I had very little range of motion when I saw her and she fixed me right up! She also advised on my knee and got me back to hiking along with recs on shoes. If I could give her 100 stars I would!

So far, I've only worked with Susan Wood for three sessions. I felt more progress in those three sessions than I did in years working with highly credentialed PTs here in Houston. Yep, that's right. I was only visiting Nashville to see family, one of whom was already working with Susan and spoke very highly of her. After two sessions, I was so impressed that I changed my flight to extend my stay and squeeze in a third session. I felt so many muscles waking up and relief from pain and tension in that third session that it was incredible. I've continued working on the exercises and staying mindful of Susan's postural cues and I now feel more comfortable in my hips and shoulders when walking than in perhaps 15 years. My strength is coming back, slowly, and I have more work to do if I want to fully return to an athletic lifestyle. But I'm so excited with the progress so far and I'll keep working with her virtually or when I'm in town. Susan -- Thank you so, so, so much. I'll be in touch!

Susan did a fantastic job helping me recover from a painful shoulder problem with severely restricted range of motion. I spent several months and lots of money, not to mention unnecessary pain, at a chain PT clinic making zero progress for several months. I went to Susan in desperation, mainly for a second opinion before pursuing shoulder surgery. Within a few weeks, however, I was seeing substantial gains under Susan’s guidance and was able to restore my range of motion and eliminate my pain. She was very good at explaining exercises and also providing videos to help me do them correctly at home. Scheduling and billing were easy and professional. I highly recommend Susan!

As a Holistic RN in a Pediatric ICU, I spend my days providing Massage, Healing Touch, Reflexology, Acupressure etc. to the patients and their families to minimize pain, enhance coping, promote comfort and healing. Although I love my job and witness the healing and rest that the patients were receiving, I was leaving work every day with my own neck, shoulder and back pain. After 6 years of these repetitive motions and sub optimal body positioning in ICU rooms, I knew something had to change or I would have to move on from something I loved. As a referral to Susan's GOATA program for my daughter, I instead wanted to pursue the program for myself first! I was in desperate need to be pain free. At 43 and in great health, I wanted to reconnect with my body and regain optimal pain free movement again. Susan was God sent! She is passionate about teaching her clients to listen to their bodies while giving them exercises to work on throughout the day. This program requires the willingness to commit to yourself! Bottom line, do the work and you will see the results! She coached and cheered me through every major and minor accomplishment. She tailors her sessions to you, as an individual, and meets you where you are in that moment. She pushes you past what you think your body is able to do. She understands the intricacies of the human body and never gives up on providing the tools to help you get to your goal of feeling your best Every Single Day. I am pain free today! I work 8 hours at my job and leave without pain. I continue to create more confidence in my body and I am empowered with tools and exercises to utilize if I have a flare up. I am so thankful I said yes to myself and working with Susan. She helped me transform my life for the better!

Susan at Physical Therapy in Motion is a great service provider.  I was having lower back issues.  We spent time targeting the issue and what worked best for me.  After that, she provided various exercise and stretch activities to allow me to improve strength and flexibility over time.  I am now comforted knowing I have these tools in the tool box for future use and maintenance.  Thank you!

She has helped my cranky, creaky knees so much by focusing on stretching my lower back!!  I highly recommend her to help you with any mobility issue you have.

I had been dealing with upper back, shoulder and right neck pain for over three years. I tried chiropractic care, orthopedic care, injections, physical therapy… The whole gamut. I was introduced to Susan at a coffee shop just out of the blue one day. She offered to do a consult with me and I thought why not let’s see if this could be the answer… And it was! She knew exactly what tools I needed to manage the pain I was having and after only a few appointments I now can not only keep the pain from getting out of control, but manage the pain with the exercises that she taught me. I am so thankful God put her in my path that day in the coffee shop.

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.
