Conditions Treated at Improved Motions

Back & Neck Pain

Don’t let pain run your life. Our hands-on approach targets the root cause — not just the symptoms — so you get lasting relief without months of runaround.

Whether it’s a herniated disc, sciatica, chronic stiffness, or tension headaches that start in your neck, we dig into what’s actually driving the problem. Dr. Mann and the Improved Motions team use dry needling, Graston Technique, manual therapy, and targeted movement retraining to get you out of the pain cycle — not just mask it with exercises you could Google yourself.

Sports Injuries

From weekend warriors to competitive athletes, we build your comeback plan around your sport, your body, and your timeline — nobody else’s.

Torn ACL. Rotator cuff strain. Hamstring pull. Ankle sprain that won’t quit. We treat athletes across the Treasure Coast — from the pickleball courts in Palm City to the surfing breaks on Hutchinson Island. Your rehab plan includes sport-specific movement analysis, blood flow restriction training, and recovery modalities like cryotherapy and Normatec so you come back stronger, not just “cleared to play.”

Post-Surgery Rehab

Recovery is a team sport. We partner with your surgeon and move at the pace YOUR healing demands — not the pace an insurer will reimburse.

After a knee replacement, ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, spinal surgery, or hip replacement, your post-op rehab determines the outcome. Because we’re cash-pay, there’s no insurance company capping your visits at 12 when you need 20. We coordinate directly with your surgical team, progress you based on tissue healing timelines, and stack recovery tools — cryotherapy, PEMF, hyperbaric oxygen — to accelerate your return to full function.

Knee & Hip Pain

Walk, climb, and move without dreading every step. We restore strength and stability so you can keep doing what you love.

Meniscus tears, IT band syndrome, hip bursitis, patellofemoral syndrome, arthritis flare-ups — these don’t have to sideline you permanently. Our approach combines hands-on joint mobilization, targeted strengthening, and movement pattern correction to reduce your pain and rebuild the stability your joints need. Many of our clients avoid surgery entirely with the right PT plan.

Foot & Ankle Pain

Whether it’s plantar fasciitis, an ankle sprain, or chronic foot pain slowing you down, we get you back on your feet — literally. Don’t let every step be a struggle.

Plantar fasciitis is the most common complaint we see in this category, but we also treat Achilles tendinopathy, chronic ankle instability, stress fractures, Morton’s neuroma, and post-surgical ankle rehab. Our treatment combines manual therapy, dry needling, progressive loading protocols, and gait analysis to fix the mechanics — not just the symptoms.

Elbow, Wrist & Hand Pain

From tennis elbow to carpal tunnel to post-fracture stiffness, we restore the strength, mobility, and function you need to get back to work, sport, and daily life.

Upper extremity injuries affect everything — your grip, your ability to type, your golf swing, your ability to pick up your kids. We treat lateral and medial epicondylitis (tennis and golfer’s elbow), carpal tunnel syndrome, De Quervain’s tenosynovitis, wrist sprains, and post-fracture rehabilitation with targeted manual therapy, dry needling, and progressive strengthening.

Pre-Surgery Readiness (Prehab)

The stronger you go in, the faster you come out. Our prehab programs prepare your body before surgery — building strength, flexibility, and endurance so your recovery starts ahead of schedule.

If you have a knee replacement, ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, or spinal procedure on the calendar, prehab can cut your recovery time significantly. We build a 4-8 week program that strengthens the muscles around your surgical site, improves your range of motion, and gets your cardiovascular system ready for the demands of recovery. Patients who prehab consistently report less pain, faster milestones, and better outcomes.

Balance & Fall Prevention

Feel steady and secure on your feet again. Our targeted programs build the strength and coordination to keep you safe and independent.

Falls are the leading cause of injury for adults over 65, and the fear of falling can be just as limiting as the fall itself. Our balance and fall prevention program includes vestibular assessment, lower extremity strengthening, proprioception training, and real-world balance challenges designed to rebuild your confidence. We work with residents across Stuart, Palm City, Jensen Beach, and the Treasure Coast to keep people moving safely and independently.
