The Physical Therapists at One on One PT believe movement is medicine and that you have to stress your body to progress. We implement a “know pain, know gain” methodology. Strength training plays an important role in rehabilitation. So whether you run, cycle, play tennis, or participate in CrossFit, we can help you.

We focus on reducing your pain and enhancing your mobility in the early stages of rehab. In order to progress and get you back to the sports and activities you love, we will then incorporate strength training into your rehabilitation.

Strength training has been shown to enhance muscle strength and control, VO2 max, running and cycling efficiency, glucose regulation, vascular function, and aid in the treatment of osteoporosis.

If you sit on the toilet or sit at a desk during the day, you performed a squat. It is important that everyone be able to perform them pain free. Picking up small children is like a dead lift. In order to optimize fitness we incorporate functional exercises like squats, deadlifts, lunges, and steps ups into the rehabilitation process.

Have you ever hadneck pain, back pain or your back went out while lifting? Strengthening your body with deadlifts will help your back get stronger which in turn minimizes your risk for a future back injury.

Whether you’re trying to add 20 lbs to your clean and jerk, improve your off-season training regimen, or care for your children without back pain, training these functional movements are imperative to keeping you strong and healthy.

Our physical interventions can include gait analysis, running assessment with video analysis, Redcord neuromuscular and strength training, Pilates, and general strength and conditioning.

Vestibular Therapy

Dizziness is a sensation that we have all probably experienced at some point in our life. However, when dizziness is no longer a transient feeling after a carnival ride and it impacts our ability to perform normal day to day things like driving, laying in bed, and walking in a grocery store, it becomes a huge burden.

To be clear: dizziness is not always the classic room-spinning sensation. It can also be described as floating, rocking, imbalance, fuzzy, and just plain weird.

Dizziness and imbalance can result from a litany of medical conditions. Wikipedia.

Your dizziness and imbalance could be due to one of the following: vestibular cochlear nerve injury, concussion, displacement of calcium crystals in your semicircular canal, vestibular migraines, neck pathology (whip-lash), Meniere’s disease, nervous system conditions, or motion sensitivity.

If you are suffering from dizziness or imbalance you should seek care from a Physical Therapist (PT) trained in Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT). We are able to determine which components of your balance/vestibular system are affected and can assist in your recovery and improve your quality of life. If you are not a candidate for VRT, we can also help with a referral to the specialist you need.

About One on One Physical Therapy

After years of treating patients in a typical group-based physical therapy setting, Karen Davis Warren, a Doctor of Physical Therapy, was inspired to create Atlanta’s best physical therapy practice. She established One on One Physical Therapy as an alternative to the conventional setting and method of treatment that placed more value in quantity than quality. One on One Physical Therapy adheres to the high standards set by the American Physical Therapy Association.

In today’s competitive healthcare world, it is very common for physical therapy clinics to have multiple patients treated at the same time by a single physical therapist. This is not only the common practice, but also the expectation in many instances. The increasing regulations of health insurance required for coverage of services dictates certain productivity standards that therapists are required to adhere to. This high volume model of treatment prevents each patient from receiving the best quality of care, and requires a higher number of visits to achieve therapeutic goals.

Patient-focused Physical Therapy

Patient-focused Physical Therapy in Atlanta GA

Warren recognized the flaws of this structure, and was inspired to do better, not only for herself, but also for her patients. She realized that above all else, is the needs of the patient. Providing private, individualized treatment allows the therapist to understand each patient’s condition in depth, and create a specialized treatment plan specific to their needs. These individualized treatment plans help manage pain and improve patient outcomes. She recognizes that each patient’s time is valuable, and through personalized sessions, the patient and the therapist can achieve faster, longer lasting results by working together. Ultimately, her vision was to offer patients high quality patient-centered care by delivering physical therapy services on a one-on-one basis, and consequently, she opened One on One Physical Therapy in 2004.

Upon its establishment, One on One was opened in northeast Atlanta, where it is still housed today. One on One has been growing steadily, with each new clinician bringing his or her own unique treatment philosophy and area of specialty practice.
