What Makes us different

Unlock Faster, Lasting Recovery from Musculoskeletal Injuries

At Move Better Physical Therapy in Anchorage, we provide advanced, hands-on orthopedic care that goes beyond traditional physical therapy or massage. Our specialized approach focuses on myofascial release — a cutting-edge treatment targeting fascial chains and nerve pathways — designed to resolve pain at its source and help patients regain full function.

Myofascial release is a specialized technique that addresses restrictions in the fascia — the connective tissue surrounding muscles, joints, and nerves. Unlike a typical massage, which primarily relaxes muscles, myofascial release:

• Targets fascial chains and nerve pathways for long-term pain relief
• Addresses the root cause of injuries, not just symptoms
• Is highly individualized, using precise techniques adapted to your diagnosis

At Move Better PT, myofascial release is performed by a Doctor of Physical Therapy, ensuring that every treatment is informed by a deep understanding of medical and orthopedic conditions. This allows us to safely and effectively treat even complex cases such as tendon tears, disc herniations, and chronic joint pain — often without surgery or invasive interventions.

To achieve lasting results, we combine multiple advanced hands-on techniques:

• Manual Myofascial Release: Gentle yet precise pressure to release fascial restrictions
• Dry Needling: Alleviates restrictions, improves muscle activation, and promotes healing at the cellular level
• Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (Scraping): Breaks down scar tissue and stubborn adhesions
• Cupping Therapy: Improves blood flow (both short and long term), reduces stiffness, and accelerates recovery

This integrated approach is far beyond what you’ll experience at a typical PT clinic or spa.

Each session is highly focused and personalized:

1. Quick Evaluation (2–5 minutes): I assess movement, posture, and pain patterns to pinpoint the source and cause of your symptoms.
2. Hands-On Treatment (~40 minutes): Using my specialized tools and techniques, I target the exact tissues causing dysfunction and pain.
3. Plan of Care: Most patients achieve noticeable results after the first treatment, and the typical plan is just 3 visits, depending on the complexity and chronicity of the injury.

Your recovery timeline will vary depending on factors like your overall health, diagnosis, and symptom duration — but every treatment is focused on getting you better faster.

• Specialized Care: Techniques performed by a Doctor of Physical Therapy, not a massage therapist
• Medical Expertise: Ability to integrate orthopedic diagnosis and prognosis into treatment
• Concierge Experience: One-on-one attention with immediate scheduling and minimal waiting
• Non-Surgical Solutions: Many patients recover fully without surgery, injections, or long-term interventions

We also ensure safety: if your pain is outside the musculoskeletal system or beyond my scope of practice, I will refer you to the right provider — always prioritizing your health and safety.
