What Is Physical Therapy?
Physical therapy is a movement-based approach to healthcare that helps you recover from injuries, manage chronic conditions, and prevent future problems. Through targeted exercises, manual therapy techniques, and functional training, we address the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction—not just the symptoms.
At Move Muscle & Joint in Overland Park, Dr. Joseph Hugunin combines evidence-based physical therapy with chiropractic expertise to create comprehensive treatment plans. Whether you're recovering from surgery, dealing with a sports injury, or managing chronic pain, we'll design a program tailored to your specific needs and goals.
Our hands-on approach includes therapeutic exercises, stretching protocols, movement pattern correction, and education to empower you with the tools needed for long-term success. We serve patients throughout Overland Park, Leawood, Prairie Village, and surrounding Johnson County communities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between physical therapy and chiropractic care?
Physical therapy focuses on strengthening, mobility exercises, and functional movement patterns, while chiropractic care addresses joint alignment and nervous system function. At Move Muscle & Joint, we integrate both approaches for comprehensive care.
Do I need a referral for physical therapy?
Kansas allows direct access to physical therapy, meaning you can schedule an appointment without a physician referral. However, some insurance plans may require a referral for coverage—contact us to verify your benefits.
How long are physical therapy sessions?
Initial evaluations typically last 45-60 minutes, while follow-up sessions are 30-45 minutes. Treatment duration depends on your specific condition and goals.
