The Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy (OMPT) Annual Checkup
You schedule an annual checkup with your primary care provider and Dentist every year – why not add an annual checkup with your physical therapist?
Prevention versus Pathology | Performance versus Pain
Why wait until that small pain or that stiff joint becomes a real problem? Using your healthcare providers for prevention, rather than waiting for something to go wrong, has numerous health and financial benefits. Schedule your annual checkup today!
The Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy (OMPT) Annual Checkup is the most extensive assessment of joint mobility, range of motion and muscle performance available. This groundbreaking preventative approach identifies small joint mobility and range of motion deficits that contribute to reduced muscle performance and function.
Whether you want to find out where your body is holding you back, or just want to fine-tune a well-oiled machine, the OMPT Annual Checkup has the answers you seek. Our innovative care strategies at MTI Physical Therapy will help you find quick relief.
Your Annual Checkup includes:
- Joint mobility assessment of almost every joint in the body. Every joint has small, 3-dimensional motions that are necessary for full pain-free movement. Small restrictions cause abnormal joint forces leading to tissue breakdown over time. Normalizing these motions will increase your strength and performance.
- Range of motion assessment will identify flexibility limitations from muscles, tendons, connective tissue and even nerves. Asymmetries, limited motion and adverse neural tension contribute to loss of mobility that reduces normal performance.
- Muscle strength and performance measures not only the symmetry of strength, but timing of muscle activation, coordination and balance.
The Annual Checkup is done with our prevention and performance partnership with PTMotionLab. It is a self-pay service and is not covered by insurance. The cost is 45 minutes / $200.
The time and cost of the Annual Check Up covers the evaluation service only. If additional coaching, training, or physical therapy services are needed, additional scheduled visits will be required. These additional visits may be covered by insurance under MTI Physical Therapy if they are for rehabilitation services. Additional services related to movement, training or performance are cash-pay services billed under PTMotionLab.

frequently asked questions
What is an annual physical therapy check-up, and why is it important?
An annual physical therapy check-up is a comprehensive musculoskeletal assessment evaluating range of motion, joint mobility, strength, and movement quality. This proactive approach identifies early impairments and dysfunction before they become painful or pathological, supporting long-term health, injury prevention, and sustained physical performance.
What does a physical therapy annual assessment include?
The assessment includes detailed evaluation of joint mobility, flexibility, muscular strength, and neuromuscular control. Physical therapists analyze movement patterns and biomechanical efficiency to detect asymmetries or limitations. This allows for early intervention through targeted exercise and mobility strategies to optimize function and prevent injury.
How does an annual physical therapy check-up support longevity and performance?
By identifying and addressing dysfunction early, annual assessments help maintain mobility, strength, and movement efficiency over time. This proactive care model reduces injury risk, supports joint health, and enhances athletic performance, allowing individuals to remain active and perform at a high level throughout their lifespan.
