Holistic & Integrative Advanced Manual Physical Therapy | Total Potential PT

Have you ever heard someone say, “We take a holistic approach” and wondered what that really means?

At Total Potential, “holistic & integrative advanced manual physical therapy” isn’t a trendy description — it’s the foundation of how we practice, how our patients heal, and how we consistently create outcomes that surprise people (in the best way possible).

And yes — we really do the opposite of what everyone else does.

Let’s break it down in a way that makes sense for your body, your goals, and your results.

Holistic Means… We Treat the Human, Not the Body Part

If your shoulder hurts, most clinics see… a shoulder.

We see:

  • The state of your nervous system

  • Your breathing patterns

  • Your posture and movement habits

  • Joint mobility and fascial restrictions

  • Your stress load and sleep quality

  • Your history — injuries, lifestyle, surgeries, sports, desk time, emotional stress

  • How your whole body organizes movement

Because pain is rarely a local problem — it’s usually a whole-system adaptation.

Instead of asking,

“Where does it hurt?”

We ask:

“Why is your body choosing this pattern?”
“What’s the deeper driver?”
“Where is your system compensating?”

Holistic means we zoom out before we zoom in.

✅ Integrative Means… We Combine the Best Systems in One Visit

Everyone else picks one “silo.”
We combine the best of them — in one session — because the body doesn’t heal in pieces.

Our integrative approach includes:

  • Functional Manual Therapy®

  • NMAA (New Manual Articular Approach)

  • Craniosacral Therapy

  • Visceral Manipulation

  • Neural Manipulation

  • Myofascial + Joint Mobilization

  • Breathwork + Nervous System Reset

  • Neuromotor Retaining & Brain-Body Integration

  • Movement Re-education & Exercise Prescription

If your lungs, spine, hip, and vagus nerve all influence each other (they do)…
Shouldn’t your care reflect that?

✅ Advanced Manual Therapy Means… Skilled, Hands-On Change at the Source

This isn’t “fluff massage” or quick chiropractic adjustments.

This is deep, highly trained, precise manual work that:

  • Releases stuck joints

  • Mobilizes fascia + organs

  • Unlocks neural tension

  • Re-balances rib cage + diaphragm mechanics

  • Improves breathing efficiency

  • Restores fluid movement in tissues

  • Re-organizes posture + movement

  • Retrains the nervous system for stability

We are trained to listen with our hands — not force, guess, or rush.

Your body tells a story. We know how to read it.

✅ “Doing the Opposite” Means…

Here’s what most clinics do 👇
10–15 minutes with a provider ✔️
Aides or techs do exercises ✔️
Chasing symptoms ✔️
Cookie-cutter routines ✔️
Insurance-driven care ✔️

What we do instead 👇
✅ One-on-one sessions
✅ 60+ minutes of direct clinician care
✅ Skilled hands-on treatment first
✅ Deep evaluation — not hand-me-downs
✅ Nervous system + movement integration
✅ True root-cause resolution
✅ Prevention + long-term efficiency
✅ Private-pay, quality-first care

This isn’t uncommon because it doesn’t work.
It’s uncommon because insurance doesn’t reimburse excellence.

We don’t play that game.
We play the game called “get you healthy, efficient, and truly better.”

🧠 Why This Matters for You

Because you don’t just want to “feel a little better.”

You want to:

  • Move freely

  • Live without fear of flare-ups

  • Avoid surgery, meds, and lifelong pain cycles

  • Reclaim energy and confidence

  • Stay active and independent

  • Have a plan for long-term tissue + nervous system health

In other words — you want your Total Potential back.

And yes…
You deserve healthcare that matches the complexity, beauty, and potential of your system.

💬 Real Talk

You are not broken.
Your body is brilliant.
It compensates to protect you.

Our job is not to “fix” you — it’s to help your body remember how to heal, move, and thrive efficiently again.

When you treat the root,
restore the system,
and retrain the brain-body pattern…

👉 Pain disappears
👉 Function returns
👉 Freedom happens

That’s holistic & integrative advanced manual physical therapy.

That’s Total Potential.
