Is the consultation really free?
Yes, completely free. It's a conversation, not a sales pitch. We assess how you move, identify the underlying causes of your pain, and walk you through our findings. Then we outline your options and a realistic timeframe. As a courtesy, we'll verify your insurance benefits. No hard sells.
What happens at a typical session?
We begin with a hands-on assessment and a discussion of your options for the day. Then we correct what we find, from joint restrictions to muscle dysfunction. You'll leave with activities and exercises, including self-massage, stretching, and strengthening, designed to maintain your improvements.
Do advanced therapies cost extra?
No. When they'll help, shockwave, dry needling, PEMF therapy, and kinesiotaping are included in your plan of care at no extra charge.
Why don't you just treat where it hurts?
Because the painful spot is usually the one working too hard, not the cause. Knee pain, for example, often comes from a stiff hip, ankle, or foot forcing the knee to move in ways it wasn't designed to move. After a traumatic injury, care such as surgical repair, injections, stem cell therapy, or PRP may be needed, and we work alongside your physicians so that care has the best chance to succeed.
I tried PT before and it didn't work. Why would this be different?
All physical therapy is not the same. Many patients came to us after trying everything else. We look above and below the painful area and focus on what you can't correct yourself: joint mechanics, myofascial restrictions, nerve entrapments, and side-to-side imbalances.
Does it matter which clinician or location I see?
No, and that's by design. Every clinician is trained in depth in the same approach, so you get the same toe-to-head assessment, the same skilled hands-on care, and no starting over when you see someone new.
What is a Movement Correction Specialist?
A designation created by our founder, George Summers, PT, MPT. Every candidate is already a Texas-licensed PT or PTA, then completes hours of hands-on training and practice. It is an internal training designation, not a state license or board certification. Learn more.
What's expected of me? Is soreness normal?
Lasting results are a partnership. At a minimum, we ask you to attend 2 to 3 times per week as prescribed, be willing to receive hands-on care, and do your home program. Soreness in new places is normal and usually a great sign. Call us if you have sharp or worsening pain, new numbness or tingling, or significant swelling.
Can stiffness really be reversed at my age?
In our experience, yes. Stiffness leads to weakness, and weakness leads to more stiffness, but the cascade can be stopped and reversed no matter your age or condition.
How many visits will I need?
At your free consultation, we'll provide a realistic timeframe based on how many movement problems need correction and how long they've been building. We'll keep you updated as you progress.
How long is an appointment?
Visits commonly run from about 45 minutes to more than an hour, depending on your needs and treatment plan.
Will I need to keep coming back after I'm better?
Most people keep their improved movement with occasional check-ups and tune-ups. Once your body learns what normal feels like, a quick re-check catches problems early.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. We accept most insurance plans, and as a courtesy we'll verify your benefits before treatment begins so you know what to expect. Cash-pay options are available too. If you're uninsured or paying cash, you have the right to a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges.
What are your hours?
North Richland Hills: Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm. Avondale-Haslet: Tuesday and Thursday, 12 pm to 6 pm.
Do I need a referral?
Texas allows limited direct access to physical therapy. Requirements depend on the length of care, your insurance, and your situation. We'll walk you through it when you schedule.
Will treatment hurt?
Some hands-on techniques can cause temporary discomfort. We explain everything first and adjust to your comfort level.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Photo ID, your insurance card, clothes you can move in, and any imaging or surgical reports if you've been injured.
What are you
waiting for?
We offer a free consultation for anyone who would like to know how Movement Correction Therapy may help them with their persistent pain.
