It is important to note that all of Move Smart’s services are highly individualized. From the beginning, we’ll work with you to identify what you want from your physical therapy treatment program. Then, we’ll design an approach that specifically addresses your goals.
It is equally important to acknowledge that physical therapy is different from chiropractic care. In the debate between physical therapy vs. chiropractic care, we appreciate physical therapy’s ability to achieve long-lasting results. These come about because of our dedication to tackling the root of the issue rather than just treating surface-level symptoms.
Wellness-Based Physical Therapy
While physical therapy is important, it is equally important to acknowledge the role of wellness in maintaining your health. Too often, patients view physical therapy as part of a never-ending cycle. In this cycle, someone pushes themself, gets injured, seeks treatment, and then goes back to pushing themself and getting injured again.
At Move Smart, our approach to wellness-based physical therapy attempts to break this cycle. The process starts with our individualized approach to care.
From there, we’ll focus on education. We’ll work with you to develop wellness tactics that you can use in your everyday life. With these, you can live healthier and avoid injury in the future.
What To Expect
Body
We start by assessing your physical symptoms. We’ll identify what is causing your pain, look at any other problems you are experiencing, and start treatment.
Mind
From there, we’ll explore ways to connect your brain into more optimal movement patterns, letting go of movement that hasn’t served you. These tactics could include learning pain-free movement patterns and finding ways to avoid future issues.
Spirit
With new knowledge and patterns under your belt, you can start building off a strong movement foundation. We’ll explore activities that work toward your goals while allowing you to practice your new skills.
Mastery
With enough practice, you can solidify everything you have learned. Doing so will result in being able to use your new movement patterns unconsciously. This will allow you to conquer your goals as well as take on new challenges confidently

FAQs
How Many Times a Week Do You Go to Physical Therapy?

However, this may vary because, at Move Smart, we develop an individualized plan that best meets your recovery goals and your lifestyle needs We spend time helping you learn how to properly complete exercises so you can be successful doing the exercises on your own at home. It is important to us that you don’t feel that you’re coming to PT to do the same exercises you’ve done week after week with little to no instruction. Each visit is spent learning and progressing.
What Is the Difference Between Physical Therapy and Rehab?
Rehabilitation helps a person recover from a severe injury. Meanwhile, physical therapy focuses on improving mobility, strength, and fitness related to various issues.
How Do You Know If You Need Physical Therapy?
