Common Physical Therapy Treatments

Total Motion Physical Therapy approaches treating injuries and conditions in many ways. Our aim is to offer services that fit the needs of our physical therapy patients – allowing for recovery that best fits their mobility, commitment, and recovery timeline.

Functional Dry Needling – This science-backed approach can help regain control and ease pain through targeted insertion of thin, stainless-steel needles into specific muscle trigger points. Needling stimulates muscles and trigger the healing response.

Manual Therapy – This is one of the simplest yet most powerful form of treatments. The use of soft tissue massage and manual manipulation relieve pain and spasms, release tension, and improve mobility and flexibility.

Exercise – This activity stimulates the body and mind, helping to target muscles that have become weak during one’s recovery. Exercise also improves flexibility, balance, and reduce pain and inflammation as stress is shifted away from the body’s joints.

Why Work With a Physical Therapist

Partnering with local physical therapists at Total Motion is the beginning of your recovery. Upon evaluation, our PTs share a personalized care plan tailored to your injury or condition. With this plan come the treatments, goals, and expected outcomes.

We offer more than just treatment – we aim to provide whole-body health:

• Hands-on techniques to improve mobility
• Pain management strategies to ease your troubles
• Education and self-management to build resolve
• Support and care to keep you mentally strong

Our therapies will reduce pain, improve mobility, and address impairments but also empower you to stay committed and continue improving your health beyond our sessions. Together, we’ll reach your recovery goals and get you back to doing the things you love.

What to Expect During Your Physical Therapy Session

At Total Motion Physical Therapy, your care begins with a personal, one-on-one preliminary health and lifestyle assessment with a licensed physical therapist to create a comprehensive treatment program.

A physical examination will also be conducted to assess range of motion, pain levels, strength, and your ability to perform functional tasks.  We will also provide you with detailed strengthening and stretching techniques to continue at home to further expedite recovery.

Using our state-of-the-art equipment, we will choose from a broad array of physical therapy interventions that enhance your physical and functional status, ultimately improving your quality of life related to your movement and health. These interventions may include, but are not limited to:

• Medical exercise training
• Manual therapy techniques
• Neuromuscular re-education
• Functional training
• Assistive device training
• Physical agents
• Massage

Your physical therapy diagnosis and treatment program will also incorporate decades of experience, as well as the latest research and scientific principles.

However, keep in mind that in order for our partnership to be successful, we will need to work together. While our professionals develop your individual treatment program, you, too, must be willing to participate as well!  We will be with you every step of the way to keep you excited and motivated to overcome your challenges.

Our professional team is committed to patient education that promotes the benefits of exercise, proper body mechanics, and postural awareness to relieve your symptoms, stabilize your condition, and prevent loss of mobility in the future, and we want to ensure that we put total motion back into your life.
