About Us
At Total Physical Therapy, our goal is simple: help you move better, recover with confidence, and get back to the activities that matter to you. Led by Mark Hobbs, who brings 40 years of physical therapy experience to every patient, our Tulsa physical therapy clinic provides individualized, one-on-one rehabilitation in a calm, personal setting. Our services include comprehensive physical therapy, dry needling, manual therapy, the Graston Technique, sports injury rehabilitation, and post-surgical recovery for the hip, back, and knee. Every treatment plan is built around your needs, your progress, and your personal recovery goals.
Personalized Physical Therapy Built Around You
No two patients walk into our clinic with exactly the same problem, history, lifestyle, or goals, so we do not believe physical therapy should feel one-size-fits-all. Someone hoping to return to recreational sports after an injury may need a very different rehabilitation plan than someone recovering from knee surgery or trying to move more comfortably after dealing with an ongoing back issue. We begin by learning what is affecting you, what you want to accomplish, and what is most important in your day-to-day life.

From there, Mark selects treatment techniques, exercises, and rehabilitation equipment based on your individual needs. With four decades in the physical therapy field, he brings both hands-on experience and a deep understanding of how different rehabilitation approaches can be combined as patients progress. Treatment can evolve as your strength, mobility, comfort, and functional goals change, allowing your plan to remain focused on where you are rather than where you started.
Because Total Physical Therapy is a small, one-person practice, you also know who you will be working with. Mark is personally involved in your care instead of passing you between multiple providers throughout the course of treatment, creating greater continuity from one visit to the next.
Comprehensive Rehabilitation for Better Movement & Function
Physical therapy can play an important role in helping people restore movement, rebuild strength, and work toward greater independence after injury, surgery, or other physical limitations. At Total Physical Therapy, we provide comprehensive outpatient rehabilitation designed around the specific challenges each patient is experiencing.
Your care may include therapeutic exercise, hands-on treatment, mobility work, strengthening, functional training, and carefully selected rehabilitation equipment. Rather than relying on the same routine for every patient, Mark considers your current abilities and recovery goals when determining which methods are appropriate for your treatment.

That individualized approach allows us to work with a wide variety of patients throughout the Tulsa area. Some are recovering after a surgical procedure, while others are addressing a sports injury, mobility limitations, or musculoskeletal discomfort that has made everyday movement more difficult. Whatever brings you in, the focus remains on helping you make meaningful progress toward the activities you want and need to perform.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is one of the treatment options available at Total Physical Therapy and may be incorporated into a broader rehabilitation program when appropriate. Rather than treating it as a stand-alone solution for every patient, Mark considers how it fits into the overall plan and whether it supports the specific goals being addressed during physical therapy.

For some patients, dry needling may be used alongside exercise, manual therapy, mobility work, or other rehabilitation techniques. The exact approach depends on the individual, which is why discussing your symptoms, health history, and goals before treatment is so important.
If you are curious about dry needling but are not sure whether it belongs in your rehabilitation plan, you do not need to make that decision on your own. Mark can explain how the technique is used, answer your questions, and determine whether it may be appropriate as part of your care.
Hands-On Manual Therapy
Manual therapy is another important part of the services we provide. These hands-on techniques can be incorporated into therapy to address movement limitations and support the larger rehabilitation process, depending on what Mark identifies during your evaluation and ongoing treatment.

The value of hands-on care is not simply in performing a technique. It comes from understanding when a particular approach makes sense, how it fits with exercise and functional training, and when the plan should be adjusted as the patient progresses. Mark’s 40 years of clinical experience help guide those decisions throughout treatment.
Because you work directly with the same physical therapist, Mark can closely follow how you respond from appointment to appointment. That continuity helps keep your treatment connected rather than feeling like a series of unrelated visits.
The Graston Technique
Total Physical Therapy also offers the Graston Technique as one of the tools that may be used within an individualized rehabilitation program. Instrument-assisted techniques can be paired with other forms of physical therapy depending on the patient’s needs, response to treatment, and overall recovery plan.

As with every service we provide, the technique itself is only one piece of the larger picture. Our focus is not on using a particular method simply because it is available, but on choosing treatment options thoughtfully and combining them in a way that supports your functional goals.
If the Graston Technique is appropriate for your situation, Mark can explain what to expect and how it fits into the rest of your physical therapy. Patients are encouraged to ask questions throughout treatment so they understand not only what they are doing, but why it has been included in their plan.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Sports injuries can interrupt much more than a training schedule. They can affect mobility, strength, confidence, and the ability to participate in activities that are an important part of your routine. Our sports injury rehabilitation services focus on helping patients work toward a safe and practical return to the activities they enjoy.

Treatment varies depending on the injury, the individual’s current function, and what their sport or activity requires. Mark may incorporate strengthening, mobility exercises, manual therapy, progressive functional movements, and other rehabilitation strategies based on the patient’s specific needs.
We work with people at different activity levels, so you do not need to be a competitive athlete to benefit from sports-focused rehabilitation. Whether you want to return to organized athletics, recreational exercise, weekend activities, or simply moving without the limitation that brought you in, we build the plan around your own definition of recovery.
Post-Surgical Physical Therapy
Recovering from surgery often requires patience, consistency, and a rehabilitation plan that changes as the body heals. Total Physical Therapy works with patients following hip, back, and knee procedures, providing one-on-one post-surgery rehabilitation designed around the individual’s needs and recovery stage.

Mark works with each patient to address movement, strength, function, and other rehabilitation goals as appropriate following surgery. The process may involve carefully progressing exercises and activities over time rather than trying to move too far ahead too quickly.
Having the same physical therapist involved throughout the rehabilitation process can make that experience feel more personal and connected. Mark becomes familiar with your progress, your challenges, and the goals you are working toward, allowing each visit to build naturally on the work that came before it.
40 Years of Experience, One Patient at a Time
Mark Hobbs has spent 40 years serving physical therapy patients in the Tulsa area, and that experience has shaped the way Total Physical Therapy operates today. Rather than building a high-volume clinic where patients move between different staff members, Mark has maintained a smaller practice where he can remain directly involved in care.
That one-on-one environment allows treatment to feel more personal. Patients can ask questions directly, discuss changes they have noticed, and work with someone who already understands their history and goals rather than explaining the same story to a different provider at each appointment.
Our practice currently holds a 5.0-star Google rating based on 13 reviews, reflecting the experiences patients have shared about their care. We are grateful for that trust, but our focus remains on earning it individually with each person who walks through the door.
Serving Tulsa & Surrounding Communities
Total Physical Therapy works with patients from throughout Tulsa and nearby communities, including Sand Springs, Sperry, Owasso, Broken Arrow, Jenks, Bixby, Glenpool, Catoosa, and Collinsville. Our patients come from different backgrounds and at different stages of recovery, but they often share a common goal: they want personalized help improving how they move and function.
Some patients contact us after surgery, while others are dealing with a sports injury or looking for hands-on physical therapy options such as dry needling, manual therapy, or the Graston Technique. We also work with people who are not sure what type of rehabilitation they need and simply want to understand whether physical therapy may be appropriate for their situation.
You do not need to have your treatment plan figured out before you call. The first step is simply telling us what is going on and what you would like to be able to do more comfortably or confidently.
What to Expect When You Contact Total Physical Therapy
Your first interaction with us is focused on understanding your needs. Mark will talk with you about what is affecting your movement or function, what you are recovering from, and what you hope to accomplish through physical therapy.
From there, he can determine an appropriate rehabilitation approach based on your situation. Treatment may involve a combination of hands-on therapy, exercise, rehabilitation equipment, dry needling, the Graston Technique, or other methods depending on what is appropriate for your care.
We want the process to feel clear and personal rather than overwhelming. If you are unsure whether physical therapy is the right next step, you are welcome to reach out and ask. A conversation can help you better understand your options and whether Total Physical Therapy may be a good fit for your rehabilitation needs.
