At Heitmann Physical Therapy & Wellness, we practice Integrative Manual Therapy (IMT).
What Is Integrative Manual Therapy? IMT is gentle, manual (hands-on) therapy that helps the body use its own power to heal as a whole. IMT practitioners are trained to address the root of physical dysfunction and begin healing. When the body is in an injury state, it does not respond well to aggressive pushing and pulling, or forceful, painful exercises. IMT is gentle and non-invasive—supporting, rather than stressing, the body. Patients remain fully clothed, relaxed, and in a healing environment during treatment. Our combination of IMT treatment and 20+ years in human functional restoration make a very successful approach to physical therapy.
Changing Self-Protection to Self-Healing
Any injury or dysfunction can cause the body to protect itself from further harm by restricting movement and function. This is why, for example, you might limp if your foot is hurting. IMT will discern which tissue or structure is being protected, and where treatment should focus. Using some of the thousands of IMT protocols for different conditions, we will remove physical restrictions and promote function—using the body’s own power to heal.

“Ty is a gifted healer of the body and spirit. He has helped me recover from injury and a major illness, restoring both physical function and my confidence.”
—J., Reston, Va.
“I have known Ty for over 10 years. He worked on my hip pain and was the only person who could help me. Due to some unfortunate long-term chronic illnesses (Lyme Disease) I was unable to have hip replacement surgery for many years. During that time, Ty kept me out of pain so I could exercise and live a near-normal life. When I beat Lyme disease, Ty helped me select the right surgeon and did extensive rehab post-surgery. Ty also worked on both of my daughters (college athletes who are not easy customers) and my wife. Ty is equally well respected and liked by everyone in my family for both his talent and being a great and trusted man. You will never find anyone better. ”
—John M., Reston, Va.
“Ty is great! He is an intuitive, knowledgeable, and skillful physical therapist. He is compassionate and a good listener. He works with you to address your pain and seeks to find the root of the problem. He also takes a whole-body approach to the healing process. Ty first helped me overcome a very painful frozen shoulder 15 years ago. I was so pleased with the results of his treatment, I have continued to see him periodically for other painful ailments. And he continually brings me to a place of healing. He now is located in a new office with a quiet and relaxing atmosphere, promoting a perfect healing environment. I highly recommend him!” J.P., West Virginia

No Barriers to Physical Therapy Access
We do not work for insurance companies, we work for our patients. In our 20+ years of treating in insurance-dictated practice, patients always suffered because of insurance companies’ restrictions on the treatments performed, the time that could be spent with a patient, and limitations on the number of patient visits.
We will provide you with the information to submit a claim to your insurance company.
