Motus-Rehabilitation

At Motus Center, we recognize that the musculoskeletal, physiological, and performance parameters of sports and dance activities are different and peculiar from those of daily life. Therefore, both athletes and dancers require specialized rehabilitation programs to quickly return them to a high level of function. Motus-Rehabilitation offers athletes, dancers and other physically active individuals a variety of treatment programs allowing them to return them to full function and performance in an efficient and expedient manner.

Motus-Rehabilitation departs from the traditional outpatient rehabilitation model to provide our active patient population with a sports/dance medicine program that meets their needs and allows for multiple points of entry into the care process.

Since the most commonly treated injuries in our clinics are musculoskeletal and "athletic" related, the Licensed/Certified Athletic Trainer plays a principal role in Motus-Rehabilitation's clinical care team to best serve the distinct health care needs of our active patients along the care continuum. Experienced physical therapists, conditioning specialists, and clinical massage-therapists working in conjunction with our athletic trainers further enhance and ensure the highest quality of care for our patients. Our clinical staff's knowledge of and experience with sports and dance improves communication with patients and their physicians facilitating a more dynamic and effective treatment program.

For the 'industrial-athlete', Motus-Rehabilitation offers area companies a cost-effective occupational medicine program based on the success of our athletic-healthcare model. Program benefits include reduction in time-loss injuries, improved productivity, significant savings on worker compensation/healthcare costs, and increased employee satisfaction.

The quality and success of Motus-Rehabilitation, along with Motus-Care and Motus-Fitness, has quickly established Motus Center as a leader in sports medicine and the premiere dance medicine provider in North Texas.

Motus-Rehabilitation will schedule your initial appointment within 24 hours of your call, often the same day. We offer extended hours to so that patients can schedule most of their appointments around their training, work, and school schedules
• Monday - Thursday 7:00am to 8:00pm, Friday 7:00am to 5:00pm

Orthopedic Rehabilitation

Our patients range from the elite athlete and dancer to the weekend warrior, and in age from peewee league to masters' league. Motus Center has developed specialized rehabilitation protocols that address the injury and the activity. Individualized by our clinical staff to the patient's specific needs, these protocols ensure a quick, safe, and full return to professional and recreational activities.

Motus-Rehabilitation complements traditional treatment modalities and exercises with specialized programs that improve functional outcomes and decrease time in care.

Aquatic Therapy
 

Conducted in the pool, aquatic therapy provides a weightless environment so that mobility, strengthening, and endurance exercises can be performed at an earlier stage while minimizing joint stress, swelling, and improving movement quality and function.

When the patient is ready, specialized group-programs such as Aqua-Sports and Aqua-Barre further improve functional outcomes and minimize recovery time.

Pilates-based Rehabilitation
 

This system of adapted neuromuscular exercises effectively develops and emphasizes coordination of the extremities and trunk with core musculature resulting in improved mechanics and movement efficiency. When performed on the 'Reformer' and related apparatuses, patients are able to begin functional exercises early in their care while minimizing joint stress and discomfort.

Known to be effective by dancers since the 1950's, top-athletes around the world have begun to successfully integrate this exercise system into their regular training routine to prevent and recondition injuries and improve performance.

Integrated Training
  Specialized conditioning programs developed to provide the athlete and dancer with a natural transition back to their training regime.
RTS: Return-to-Sport
  Access to a fully equipped fitness facility allows our clinical staff to take patients through a progression of activity-specific conditioning and sports skills during the rehabilitation process ensuring optimal function and fitness is achieved before returning to full normal training schedule.
EnCore: From Floor to Barre
  Incorporating Pilates mat-work, floor and standing dance exercises, body work, and other conditioning techniques using small apparatus this program helps correct faulty mechanics and improve neuromuscular patterns while functionally progressing the dancer back to a normal training schedule.

This program is also offered during the off-season to dancers as an alternative or adjunct to the daily class to maintain dance-related fitness and enjoy an environmental change.
Post-Rehab Program
 

Today's health insurance plans often limit the allowed treatment sessions for a given injury, as well as often require patients to attain treatment from providers with limited knowledge in their sport or dance activity.

The Post-Rehab Program offers athletes and dancers a personalized, progressed exercise program designed and supervised by experienced conditioning specialists. Programs are designed to bridge the gap between a functional return to daily activities and the demands of the clients' sports or dance activity. The risk of re-injury is minimized while the individual transitions to full dance or sports participation.
