Question 7

Will I be seeing a Licensed Practitioner?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All of our therapist are licensed by the State of California to provide you with excellent and appropriate care within their Scope of Practice. We have a Licensed Physical Therapist, Licensed Physical Therapist Assistant, Licensed Massage Therapist, and Certified Personal Trainers on staff.

Question 8

Why should I choose to see an out-of-network Provider?

Accepted Answer

Because we are able to give 1 on 1 attention to our patients, allowing us the opportunity to spend more hands on time with them. We spend additional time with manual therapy, tissue work, stretching, as well as appropriate exercises for your specific needs, which means our patients can recover faster than traditional clinics. In-network physical therapy offices often have to treat up to 4 patients per therapist at a time. This requires them to use PT Aides in order to help the patients follow their "routine". Here at Total Motion we only have Licensed Phyical Therapists and Licensed Physical Therapist Assistants, or Practioners  treating our patients, and we will never sacrifice our time with you in order to push more volume.

Question 9

Should I expect to be sore after a session?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the injury and the treatment type selected for you. It is possible that during a Physical Therapy treatment or deep tissue massage session that you may experience some mild to moderate soreness. Every treatment we do is for the purpose of helping your body to heal itself. You should not feel too much soreness more than 48 hours after treatment in most cases. 
 
*DOMS (delayed onset muscular soreness) can sometimes occur greater than 48 hours after an intense lifting or strength training session.
