Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is a profession, not a treatment. Doctors of Physical Therapy are movement specialists — trained to understand exactly how the body moves, why it breaks down, and how to build it back up. Pain, stiffness, weakness, and balance problems are all conditions physical therapists treat without medication or surgery.

The process of physical therapy involves careful listening, thorough examination, precise diagnosis, and a fully individualized treatment plan. Many of our patients tell us it was the most thorough examination they've ever had.

Only when you understand the root cause of a problem can you develop a plan that actually fixes it. That's the foundation of everything we do at The Motive.

At The Motive, you see the same clinician every visit. Our therapists don't hand you off to an aide or run five patients at once. Each session is focused, one-on-one time between you and your doctor of physical therapy — the way it should be.

Our team has taught nationally, authored best practice documents used by other physical therapists, and trains the next generation of PTs at the postgraduate level. That expertise comes with you into every session.

Going to a physical therapist directly — without a referral — can also save you money. Arizona allows direct access to PT, which means you can come to us first, skip unnecessary doctor visits, and start getting better sooner.
