Healing Motion was founded by J. Christopher Potts, PT, DPT, in response to a need for comprehensive physical therapy and wellness services all under one roof. We take a total systems approach to the evaluation and treatment of each patient. That’s why we only see patients for one-on-one physical therapy for a full hour.

Typically, our patients come to us with a wide variety of conditions hoping to avoid surgery or reduce the amount of pain medication they need to take. Others come after multiple surgeries that didn’t completely address their complaints, or after experiencing disappointing results from traditional physical therapy.

Healing Motion will customize an individualized plan of care after a thorough examination. We offer 4 specialized types of physical therapy to help restore you to the active, pain-free life you deserve.

Healing Motion Physical Therapy & Wellness Center accepts most private insurance plans, and will work with your health provider to provide reimbursement for our services whenever possible.

The most comprehensive and helpful physical therapy with clear instruction of how to follow through at home. Chris is the best! I refer everyone to him when they have any nagging body pain.

I greatly appreciate the expertise, attention, and generosity embodied in your approach. I was both reassured and motivated to follow your recommendations to improve and maintain my health and well-being.

Short version: Chris is a highly talented healer who helped me get mobile after I experienced months of debilitating pain.
