Capability in Motion

Refer a patient with confidence

Therapy ends before recovery does. We continue strength, balance and mobility work in the home — and send a written report after every visit, usually within a few hours.

Who we work with

Physical therapists

Physical therapists

When a patient reaches their goals or the benefit runs out but is not fully back to strength, we continue the work under your framework. We read your discharge summary, respect stated precautions and weight-bearing limits, progress conservatively, and send you a written report after every visit with objective measures — chair-rise counts, gait observations, balance holds and any reported falls. If something changes for the worse, you hear from us before the next visit rather than at the next appointment. No fee to refer, and we never present ourselves as providing physical therapy.

Home health

Home healthcare providers & agencies

We add specialist fitness capacity alongside the care your team already delivers, in the client's own home and on a schedule that works around your visits. Aides can focus on care tasks while a certified senior-fitness trainer handles progressive strength and balance work. Your care manager gets read-only access to visit reports, fall logs and attendance, so documentation stays aligned and nothing has to be chased by phone.

Concierge medicine

Concierge & primary-care physicians

An accountable exercise partner for patients you would otherwise advise, vaguely, to "stay active". We complete a structured baseline at the first visit, repeat it at set intervals, and give you fall-risk trends, adherence data and medication-related steadiness observations you can act on in a ten-minute appointment. Useful evidence for annual wellness visits, fall-risk documentation and quality measures.

Senior living communities

Independent, assisted living & memory care

Recurring one-to-one and small-group training inside your building, with no added headcount, no equipment purchase and no billing relationship for your team to manage. Residents and families contract with us directly; you receive participation reporting, incident and fall notes, and monthly wellness summaries you can show prospects and families. Insurance, background checks and credential verification are our responsibility and are documented for your files.

Skilled nursing & rehab

Skilled nursing and short-stay rehab

A discharge destination for residents going home who still need supervised progression. We can start within days of discharge, in the home, so the gains made in your therapy gym do not disappear in the first month. Discharge measures are used as our baseline, and re-measurement at six weeks tells you — and the resident's family — whether the transition held.

Case managers & elder law

Care managers, elder-law and trust professionals

For clients whose independence at home is being actively managed or funded, we provide documented, invoiced services with clear session records suitable for trust accounting, long-term-care claims and family reporting. Aging life care professionals get their own read-only login covering scheduling, attendance, fall logs and progress trends across every client they oversee.

What happens after you refer

1. We call within one business day. A real person speaks with the patient or family and books a free assessment visit.

2. With the client's authorization, we review relevant fitness precautions and recommendations supplied by their healthcare professionals. Trainers start at the level those recommendations allow and progress only when movement looks steady. Capability in Motion provides personal fitness training, not physical therapy, rehabilitation, diagnosis or medical treatment.

3. You see whether gains hold. Every visit produces a plain-language report with balance, strength and mobility measures. We share visit reports with a referring clinician only when the client has signed an authorization naming that provider, and the client can revoke it at any time.

We are not a medical provider and we do not bill insurance. See pricing for what patients pay.
