Company History

Founded in 1997, Motus Center began as a dance medicine provider to address the unique healthcare needs of dancers in the Greater Fort Worth Area. The company quickly attracted such organizations as:
The Department of Ballet & Modern Dance at Texas Christian University
Ballet Concerto / Margo Dean School of Ballet
The Debbi Allen Summer Dance Institute
(Sponsored by The Kennedy Center Imagination Celebration Fort Worth)
As well as a number of professional dancers.

Within the year, Motus Center broadened its quality services to include sports medicine and personal fitness training. As the official sports medicine provider for the Fort Worth Rugby Football Club (Men's National Champions 2000) from 1997-2002, Motus Center rapidly grew recognition within Texas and USA Rugby as a model provider for club competitions and championship tournaments. The company client list has since expanded to include:
Professional sports and dance organizations, as well as
Olympic development programs such as USA Boxing and USA Volleyball,
Interscholastic athletic programs at area public and private schools,
Prominent sports clubs and associations as well as dance schools in the Greater Fort Worth Area

Incorporated in 2001, Motus Center (Motus Center, Inc.) continues to refine and expand its programs in sports and dance medicine (Performance Medicine). To further service our clientele, Motus Center has developed a comprehensive Performance Enhancement Program for athletes and dancers integrating and coordinating conditioning, sports nutrition, sports psychology, and specialty training programs to achieve optimal performance on the field and on the stage. Individuals who seek both recreational enjoyment and athletic challenges will soon appreciate our spa services, educational seminars, and adventure excursions.

In 2002, Motus Center formalized relationships with University of North Texas Health Science Center and the Osteopathic Health System of Texas to strengthen and expand its programs.

As part of our continual effort to better service you and centralize our programs, Motus Center is developing a "Human Performance Institute" with satellite locations around the Greater Fort Worth Area. More information on these developments will be posted as available.

Company Description

Motus Center is organized into three separate yet integrated divisions that provide a coordinated delivery of services. The Performance Enhancement Division provides top quality fitness, wellness and science programs to improve physical performance and support an active lifestyle.

The Performance Medicine Division assists athletes, dancers, performing artists and other physically active individuals achieve their performance goals through quick and easy access to quality, comprehensive athletic healthcare services. These services include injury prevention, early intervention and activity specific rehabilitation.

Motus Center's third division is currently under development to support our clients' active lifestyles through unique services and programs that encourage life-long wellness. Services in development include a day spa geared for active individuals, educational programming covering a range of lifestyle topics and a host of recreational experiences from weekend excursions to adventure travel.

Unique within the commercial healthcare and fitness industries, Motus Center utilizes the Licensed/Certified Athletic Trainer to coordinate and provide many of our services.
