About Us
What Makes Midline different from the Rest?
Midline Movement Physical Therapy is an out-of-network physical therapy clinic — and that means a lot. For a more detailed explanation, visit the Rates/Insurance section.
One of the biggest benefits to you as a patient is that your treatment is based solely on what your therapist believes you need to improve as quickly and effectively as possible — not what insurance allows or limits.
At Midline, you’ll receive one-on-one, personalized attention every visit. Your care will be delivered directly by a highly skilled therapist who does the majority of the hands-on work — unlike many in-network clinics where care is often influenced by insurance reimbursement and corporate productivity requirements.

What About the Treatment is Different Though?
Over the years, research has continued to build more and more clinical evidence on what works best — and what doesn’t. At Midline Movement, we rely on evidence-based research to guide a thorough evaluation process and develop an effective home exercise program. But it’s our treatment approach that truly sets us apart.
As research continues to evolve, advancements in joint mobilization techniques have shown that traditional theories no longer hold true in all cases. We utilize unique joint mobilization, manipulation, and positional release techniquesto help you break through restrictions that may have limited you for years.
Equally important is understanding the nature of your limitation — whether it’s neurological, muscular, or joint-related — and identifying what’s driving or contributing to your abnormal movement pattern. That insight is essential to lasting patient success.
During your comprehensive evaluation and treatment, you’ll gain a clear understanding of why your limitations exist, receive targeted treatment to correct them, and be guided on how to prevent them from returning.
Why Chose Us?
At this point, you’re probably wondering — is this for me? The answer is: yes. Midline Movement and its treatment approach are designed for everyone, regardless of age, activity level, or physical limitation.
Whether you’re an athlete looking to return to sport quickly, someone dealing with an injury or pain that hasn’t resolved with conventional therapy, or someone hoping to avoid surgery and/or pain medication — this therapy is for you.
Midline Movement Philosophy
Our Approach to Evaluation and Treatment
Midline movement gets its name from the foundational approach that it takes to physical therapy. When the body is in midline it functions optimally. All systems(muscular, skeletal, nervous) seek homeostasis or a normal resting position that allows them to function properly. It is the changes in these systems that start to illicit failures in their performance and provoke things like pain, weakness, numbness, tingling, limited motion, or tension. Understanding that changes in function and performance can come from simple things like repetitive motion over time, from trauma that you in the past, or injuries that have just recently happened is important. Also, have you ever had an injury that was quite severe, but never sought any medical attention for it? If so, you need to understand that at the time of the injury the body experienced stressors or force to the tissue much greater than what it could handle therefore leading to the damage and pain you felt at the time. But is is these forces that are often left unresolved that lead to lingering issues along with chronic pain with increase risk for further injury down the road.
Let us explain. For example, have you ever been exercising or just doing things around your home and twisted your knee to the point of pain? During the twisting of the knee the tissue is stressed past the point of normal tension or past end-range motion. It's this excessive forces that results in the injury occurring. What people don't understand, and is often not explained, is that during the injury the joint and tissue changed position, and in almost all cases likely have not returned to their prior position pre-injury. When the structure changes position and attempts to relocation, or repositioning, it does not return the exact position. It is this structual change along with allowing the surrounding tissues to heal abnormally that leads to the issue people deal with, either during the acute stages or later on down the road. When the structure does not recover its neutral resting position you will find reduction in healing time, abnormal or lack of motion, neurological symptoms, chronic soreness and tissue tenderness, abnormal muscular tension, fibrotic changes, and lingering issues down the road. Not only does the knee, for example, become a weakness in the chain, but it's this weak point that will influence the function of the joints above and below it. Eventually increasing the risk for injury to those structures as well. By assessing the change in position, resetting the joint position, and addressing soft tissue length-tension we can allow the body to now optimize healing that has been hinder from the start, improve long-term outcomes, and prevent any further damage.
It is our goal to diagnose and assess what your body has lost, and give it back to you. The human body is often stuck in these chronic patterns for years. The result of chronic abnormalities results in the symptoms we often always seek therapy for like weakness, tightness, numbness, tingling, limited mobility and pain. The key to resolution is figuring out why these symptoms are occurring in order to resolve them. When you restore normal movement and midline positioning you can instantly facilitate and inhibit the systems and the symptoms listed above.
One other important element that we focus on is prevention. Our philosophy integrates treatment that prevents the degeneration process that breakdowns the tissue like cartilage (the padding in our joints) and spinal discs that eventually lead to surgical intervention like joint replacement or arthroscopic surgery. That is another element that makes our treatment technique unique. It can be offered as a preventative method for those at risk for these processes.
So if you are looking to resolve a long term pain issues, restore normal motion, improve athletic or functional performance, prevent further joint breakdown or spinal degeneration, or just looking to prevent further injuries down the road we can help. Schedule an initial evaluation today to see how we can help you with those issues that have been hindering you for years
