Physical Therapy

If pain is impacting your ability to run, train or do the everyday things that you love, we are here to help. As Doctors of Physical Therapy, we’re experts in assessing and correcting movement issues for most orthopedic problems. At Motive, we understand that athletes and active individuals have unique needs when it comes to physical therapy, which is why we take a holistic approach and design a treatment plan specifically for you. 

Strength deficits, range of motion limitations, repetitive movement, and overuse or underuse can all be factors in pain, injury, and performance limitations. We’ll use therapeutic exercise, manual therapy and coaching to get you back to doing all of the things without thinking about that old injury or problem.

Problems We Solve

Overuse Injuries: Repetitive motions in sports and life can lead to overuse problems such as tendinitis, bursitis, and stress reactions/fractures. We will use targeted techniques to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and get the healing process started.

Acute Injuries and Chronic Issues: Acute injuries like muscle strains and ligament sprains require immediate and effective intervention. Consistent with the rate of healing for the tissue involved, we’ll provide evidence-based treatment to reduce pain and promote recovery. Chronic issues like lower back pain, neck pain, and joint pain respond well to hands-on work, progressive exercise, and pain management strategies.

Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: If you’ve undergone surgery, we will design a custom program to help you regain strength, mobility, and function at a pace that is safe and effective for your specific surgery.

Following a comprehensive interview and assessment, management of most problems can be broken down into three phases:

  • If pain is the main limiting factor, we’ll provide hands-on manual therapy and targeted exercise to get the area feeling and moving better.

  • Reconditioning the injured or problematic tissues requires stress applied systematically. We’ll eliminate the guesswork on what you should be doing and how you should be doing it.

  • Get back to all of the things you love without apprehension. We’ll create a tailored plan to keep the problem away… for good.
