ABOUT

Discovery  ~ Foundation  ~ Transformation

 

-Discover the root cause of the issue. All too often as health care providers, we “chase the pain.”  Meaning, if the knee hurts, we focus on the knee.  More often than not, the reason your knee hurts is because something else isn’t functioning as it should.  This could be another body part such as your hip, but may be another system all together such as your breathing patterns or stress levels.  We screen multiple systems within your body to find out what area we need to focus on 1st in order to help with your current injury or issue, and keep it from returning.  

 

-Work on a solid foundation- “you must move well before you can move often” is a quote from FMS systems, and one that everyone should live by.  We can make your painful area feel better within a few visits, but if you try and return to the activity you were limited from, more likely than not, you will end up injuring yourself again, or creating compensation patterns that will cause injury down the road.  Once we find the root cause, we will work on re-training your body to move the way it should, setting that solid foundation for you to return to what you love. 

 

-Which leads to the transformation phase.  This is where your body gets to move in new and improved ways, not only returning you to the activities you desire, but improving your performance, and educating you on the importance of how your body moves to prevent future injury down the road.  Empowering you, as the client to take your health and how your body moves to the next levels.  

About

My name is Alicia Haseltine.  

 

I have been practicing Physical Therapy for nearly 20 years in many different settings.  I am passionate about empowering other's to take control of their health, especially through moving their bodies.  This looks different for everyone, and unfortunately, over time, I have seen our profession be limited more and more from Insurance and liability standards.  Because of that, I have stepped outside of the traditional insurance-based model and base my practice on what you need and want.  Medicine by Movement Wellness and PT is out of network, meaning I do not work directly with insurance.  We are no longer limited by insurance standards, and I customize your treatment specifically for you.  Our office location is at 311 Price Street, but I also offer mobile/concierge services on request.  This means for any traditional PT service, I come to you!  Take the hassle out of stopping your day to make an appointment.  I will bring my supplies to your residence, your work, or even the gym.   

 

I have quite a bit of experience with event planning, and a passion for education.  My goal is to empower and educate others to take care of their health.  I know personally, I stay true to this when I am held accountable.  That is where the wellness program comes in.  My love for exercise, planning, and coordinating events led me to develop a program that offers many options to keep you moving, but more importantly, one-on-one and group opportunities to check in and make sure you are staying on track. Let's take that first step together to get you moving the way you would like to, and give you options to maintain your health moving forward.  

​

I look forward to working with you!

Treatment Approach

I offer traditional Physical Therapy services, with a large emphasis on manual-based therapy. My ultimate goal is to get you moving, because movement is the best medicine! I have found over time, there is a large gap in people's health and continued journey of recovery and maintenance after traditional PT.  This is why I have developed a wellness program that helps to bridge that gap, as well as offer continued support to those that need it.

One-on-One Coaching

 

  • This can look many different ways, depending on what you need and want!

  • It can be a weekly or biweekly meeting at the gym to take you through a detailed exercise program and progress you appropriately so you don't get hurt, but are still able to push yourself hard enough to make the gains you would like

  • It can look more like remote coaching where we meet initially for a movement screen and then develop goals that you work on independently, and we follow up weekly on the phone, via email or however you prefer

  • It can be a holistic approach where we work together with multiple health care providers/healers and make sure your health team is all on the same page and giving you as well-rounded approach to health as possible

  • Reach out for more information to customize this to what you need!

TESTIMONIAL

~Testimonials~

"I’ve worked with Alicia for the better part of 2 months to help with issues surrounding compensation patterns and old old injuries. She helped me determine the root-causes of my primary concerns with no medical diagnosis or imaging and gave me a clear guide to correcting my movement and alleviating chronic pain that was limiting my performance. As an aged athlete and veteran gym goer, it was a huge relief to get real course correction and practical action items that noticeably worked and improved each week. Thanks a ton Alicia! "
- Matt 

Alicia is a personable and gifted therapist. She has a wealth of knowledge, and individualizes her work with you to fit your specific situation(s). “ Alicia, Thank you for your patience, support and guidance with me through the past few years and helping me to get back to my gardens this summer.”
-Tama

Alicia saves my life, because I am a very active person with scoliosis I require maintenance therapy and very few physical therapist understand what to do.
When I have acute injuries she always knows what to do. Manual therapy is the best.
I recommend Alicia to anyone requiring PT.
-Lorraine

 
Regarding the Wellness group:
“This class is fantastic! We have our own personal PT instructing us in each movement, explaining how to move, what and what-not to feel and how to modify. And the music and vibe of the class adds to a fun workout...... highly recommend it!”
-Linda
“I’ve just started and enjoying it very much. Alicia is fantastic! She demonstrates the movements so you can do them in a chair or on the floor... whatever fits your movement needs. And the music & other participants are wonderful! So glad to have started on this Medicine by Movement journey.”
-Chris

Alicia’s Wellness Group is the best! Alicia does an incredible job of making the class accessible to people of all abilities. It’s impressive! Being able to watch the videos of the classes if you are unable to attend is a great option.
Alicia is great at motivating you to be active in a safe and non-judgmental way.
-Ellen
