How long are the appointments and what should I
expect?
You will need to complete the Patient Form before your
treatment begins. Each appointment will last for 45 minutes to an hour with a
licensed physical therapist. During the initial evaluation you will receive a
thorough examination to determine the cause of the pain. The physical therapist
will review with you the cause of your discomfort and discuss with you the best
way to approach treating your problem. You will then receive an individualized
treatment and exercise program. Most patients are seen twice per week until the
problem begins to lessen and then one time per week until satisfactory results
occur.

What should I wear?
You
should make sure to wear causal, loose fitting clothes that will allow the
therapist the ability to see how your body moves and be able to access the areas
of pain. Dress as if you were going to work out or going for a walk. We may ask
that you put on one of our gowns or shorts once you arrive at the clinic.

What is Pilates?
Physical therapy
will correct joint dysfunction in the spine and other areas of the body, while
Pilates develops the muscles to stabilize the body in the new, corrected
alignment. Pilates-based exercises will retrain weak and dysfunctional muscles
to improve stabilization and increase flexibility in the spine, shoulders, hips
and knees to establish strong and proper postural alignment. We currently share
our Golden Triangle clinic with a pilates studio called Pilates Aligned, Inc.
and have found tremendous success with the linking of pilates and physical
therapy. If you would like more information about the helpful benefits of
pilates with physical therapy please do not hesitate to call us.
Our
Therapeutic Package is designed for those PT patients who would benefit from
Pilates. The $500 Package includes 4 Physical Therapy sessions (1
evaluation and 3 follow ups), 5 private therapeutic Pilates sessions, and 3
fundamental Pilates mat classes. The package price of $500 has been
discounted for cash pay patients to make the transition from PT to Pilates both
safe and affordable.

Do you make Orthotics?
Back to
Motion Physical Therapy is excited to now offer custom orthotics. The orthotics
are fabricated at Sole Supports. The theory behind these orthotics is to ensure
that the weight of the body is loaded over the foot and the big toe at push off.
This allows greater efficiency during walking and running. It also minimizes
forces that go through the low back during gait. The use of Sole Support
orthotics can address plantar fascitis, neuromas, knee pain and low back pain.
The cost of the orthotics is $250 with a $50.00 discount on the second pair.
Please call if you interested or want to learn more.
