Optima Physical Therapy 10 Office Park Circle, Mountain Brook, AL 35223

"As an avid athlete constantly pushing my physical limits, finding a skilled physical therapist with a deep understanding of sports-specific injuries and rehabilitation techniques has been paramount to my recovery journey. Enter Todd Hooks, whose extensive training in sports physical therapy has truly been a game-changer for me. Todd’s passion for sports medicine is palpable. His extensive background in working with athletes at all levels, from amateurs to professionals, immediately instilled confidence in his abilities. What sets Todd apart is his personalized approach to treatment. Rather than employing a one-size-fits-all methodology, he takes the time to thoroughly assess each patient's unique needs, crafting tailored treatment plans that address not only the immediate injury but also the underlying biomechanical imbalances or weaknesses contributing to it. Todd’s expertise shines through in his hands-on techniques, which seamlessly blend manual therapy with cutting-edge modalities to optimize healing and performance. Whether it's utilizing instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization to break down scar tissue or incorporating functional movement assessments to pinpoint areas of dysfunction, he leaves no stone unturned in his quest to get his patients back to peak condition. What truly sets Todd apart, however, is his unwavering dedication to his patients' success. He goes above and beyond to educate and empower his clients, equipping them with the knowledge and tools they need to take an active role in their recovery process. His compassionate demeanor and genuine concern for his patients' well-being create a supportive environment where individuals feel motivated to push past their limits and achieve their goals. In my own experience working with Todd, I've not only seen a remarkable improvement in my injury but have also gained invaluable insights into injury prevention and performance optimization. His holistic approach to care has not only helped me recover from setbacks but has also elevated my overall athletic performance to new heights. Todd is more than just a physical therapist; he's a true ally in the pursuit of athletic excellence. If you're an athlete looking to recover from injury, prevent future setbacks, or simply optimize your performance, I cannot recommend Todd highly enough!"

"Todd is great at looking for solutions to my issue(s) rather than just being satisfied with ongoing treatments. He listens and is attentive to what I say and how I am moving. He provides plenty of one-one-one attention that includes physical massage and manipulation, dry-needling, targeted exercises and more. I highly recommend Todd and Optima PT"

"Todd Hooks does a great job of listening to his patients and letting that guide his treatment rather than having a preconceived or cookbook course of treatment. I had been having back spasms for months to the point it was limiting my workouts and since Todd started treated my back in October I haven’t had one and am back to full workouts. He has also helped a bad shoulder. I recommend Todd to anybody dealing with an injury or chronic joint and muscle pain."

"I’ve been dealing with a hamstring injury for the last six months, so I finally broke down and went to Andrew’s Sports Medicine. That doctor recommended Todd Hooks to me, and I’m so grateful he did. I finally feel like I’m seeing significant improvement and am on the road to full recovery. Can’t recommend him highly enough!"

"After multiple shoulder and knee surgeries, I was referred to Todd for Physical Therapy. Post surgery is always tough, but my appointments with him were HANDS-DOWN the BEST therapy experiences. I had seen other therapists in the past, but they would always seem "too busy" working with so many different people at once and they'd hand me off to a tech. With Todd, I always get one-on-one attention and feedback to make sure I am doing things correctly in order to heal. I love the environment and the fact that I never feel like I'm "just a number". Definitely worth the drive to MB from Tuscaloosa! I trust him completely and HIGHLY RECOMMEND Todd and Optima PT whether you're recovering from an injury, or proactively training for an event."
