One-on-One Physical Therapy With 40 Years of Experience
No two patients move, hurt, or recover in exactly the same way. That is why our approach to physical therapy starts with understanding what is limiting you, what you want to get back to doing, and what your body needs to make meaningful progress.
Mark Hobbs brings four decades of physical therapy experience to that process, giving patients the benefit of seasoned clinical judgment and hands-on care. Our physical therapy clinic emphasizes individualized treatment rather than moving people through a one-size-fits-all routine, with the goal of improving strength, mobility, coordination, endurance, and overall function.
Current online review listings reflect a 5.0 rating for Total Physical Therapy, reinforcing the strong patient response to the clinic’s attentive, knowledgeable, and personalized approach.
Comprehensive Outpatient Physical Therapy Services
Our outpatient physical therapy services are designed to address a wide range of orthopedic, musculoskeletal, and movement-related concerns. We use a combination of hands-on treatment, therapeutic exercise, rehabilitation equipment, and specialized techniques to help patients work toward realistic recovery goals.

- Sports injury recovery
- Post-surgery rehabilitation
- Hip, back, and knee rehabilitation
- Strength and mobility training

- Balance, coordination, and endurance training

Our goal is not simply to treat a diagnosis on paper. We look at how the condition affects your daily movement, work, recreation, and independence so we can build a plan that supports the outcomes that matter to you.
Hands-On Manual Therapy
Manual physical therapy allows us to work directly with joints, muscles, and soft tissues that may be contributing to pain, stiffness, or restricted movement. Hands-on treatment can be an important part of helping patients regain mobility while preparing the body for strengthening and functional exercise.

We use manual techniques as part of a broader treatment plan rather than treating them as an isolated service. By combining hands-on care with targeted movement and rehabilitation exercises, we can address both immediate limitations and the strength or control needed for longer-term progress.
Dry Needling & Graston Technique
Mark Hobbs is trained in functional dry needling and has completed advanced-level coursework in the technique. Dry needling uses a thin filament needle to address trigger points and muscular areas that may be contributing to pain or movement restrictions, with treatment selected according to the patient’s individual presentation.

Mark is also a certified provider of the Graston Technique, which uses specialized instruments to assist physical therapists in addressing certain soft tissue restrictions. These techniques give us additional options when manual therapy and exercise alone may not fully address the soft tissue component of a patient’s condition.
Sports Injury Recovery
Athletes and active adults often need more than pain relief. They need to regain strength, movement quality, confidence, and the ability to tolerate the demands of their sport or activity.

Our sports injury recovery approach is tailored to the individual rather than based only on the type of sport. We consider the movements you need to perform, the areas that have lost strength or mobility, and the steps required to safely progress toward running, lifting, training, recreational activity, or competition.
Whether you are recovering from an acute injury or dealing with a problem that has gradually limited your performance, we work to help you return with better function and a clearer understanding of how to manage your recovery.
Post-Surgery Rehabilitation
Surgery is often only the beginning of the recovery process. Post-surgery rehabilitation helps rebuild strength, mobility, coordination, and confidence so patients can make the most of the procedure and work toward returning to normal activities.

We provide rehabilitation following hip, back, and knee procedures, with treatment adjusted to the surgical plan, current limitations, and pace of recovery. Each phase is progressed thoughtfully, with hands-on treatment and therapeutic exercise used to address mobility while rebuilding the strength needed for daily movement.
Patients also benefit from rehabilitation equipment selected to support controlled, progressive recovery. That combination of experienced guidance and appropriate equipment allows us to adapt treatment as function improves.
A Tulsa Physical Therapy Clinic Focused on the Whole Person
We believe effective rehabilitation requires more than checking boxes on a standard treatment sheet. Our clinic is focused on licensed, individualized care that takes into account the person behind the injury, including their goals, concerns, activity level, and functional needs.
That philosophy has made Total Physical Therapy a trusted option for physical therapy in Tulsa County and surrounding communities. Public review listings highlight patients’ appreciation for Mark’s attentiveness, knowledge, communication, and post-surgical care.
Our goal is to create an environment where patients feel heard and understand the purpose behind their treatment. When you know what you are working on and why it matters, the rehabilitation process becomes easier to engage with.
