Physical Exams

Taking control of your health begins with a clear understanding of where you are right now. A thorough physical exam is the first step of your holistic health journey, providing the foundation for a truly personalized wellness plan. At Motus Integrative Health, our comprehensive physical exams go beyond a routine check-up. We take the time to listen to your story, understand your concerns, and get a complete picture of your health to guide you toward lasting well-being.

Why Physical Exams Matter for Your Health

Many people only think of a physical exam as an annual requirement or a quick screening before joining a new activity. But in reality, a physical assessment can be one of the most empowering steps you take for your personal well-being. Early identification of internal imbalances, lingering pain, chronic fatigue, or subtle changes in how your body moves can prevent bigger issues from developing. At Motus Integrative Health, our exams are proactive check-ins that don’t just detect symptoms but start identifying the root causes behind them. This preventive, holistic focus is key to protecting your long-term wellness and designing a plan to help you achieve your goals.

What to Expect During Your Physical Exam

Your initial appointment is a collaborative process to help us fully understand your health concerns. We believe that it’s important to understand you as a whole person, not just a collection of symptoms. This detailed health assessment is a cornerstone of our patient-centered approach.

During your exam, our dedicated practitioners will:

• Conduct a Detailed Health History Review: We’ll sit down with you to explore your full medical background, current lifestyle, nutrition, and any stressors or environmental factors that may be affecting your health. This open and honest conversation gives our team valuable insights into your unique health journey.
• Perform a Comprehensive Physical Examination: Our team will conduct a hands-on physical assessment tailored to your needs. This may include evaluating your posture, balance, strength, joint mobility, gait, range of motion, muscle tension, and neurological function. We may also perform orthopedic assessments or specialized movements to pinpoint sources of pain or instability.
• Diagnostic Evaluations (as needed): If your story or examination raises specific concerns, we may recommend additional diagnostic tools such as movement analyses, lab tests, or referrals for imaging to clarify what’s happening beneath the surface.

Our goal for each physical exam is to create a comfortable, inclusive environment where questions and participation are encouraged. We believe that when you understand your own health, you are better equipped to be an active partner in your care.

Creating Your Personalized Treatment Plan

The information gathered during your physical exam is the blueprint for your customized treatment plan. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Instead, we use this detailed assessment to design a strategy that directly addresses your unique concerns and health goals. This may involve a single type of therapy or an integrated combination of our evidence-based services, such as chiropractic care, physical therapy, functional medicine, massage therapy, and nutritional counseling, to achieve the best possible results.
