Titus Motion Therapy (TMT) is a non-invasive therapeutic technique developed by exercise therapist Frank Titus. The 8-week program empowers clients to eliminate pain and chronic injuries by improving musculoskeletal balance with prescribed restorative exercises.The modality is a series of simple and gentle movements geared towards each client’s needs without hands-on manipulation, adjustments or machines.
Titus Motion Therapy is rooted in the philosophy that the body is inherently designed for proper function and alignment through movement. However, with the evolution of technology has come a sedentary lifestyle — computers, television and driving are a few of the reasons that human bodies are no longer as active as in the past. One result of this inactivity is poor posture, a culprit of many chronic ailments. TMT helps the client’s body remember its innate blueprint for health through exercises that stress balance and flexibility.
Symptoms eliminated by TMT include: headaches, backaches, neck pain, knee, hip and shoulder problems, herniated discs, sciatica, whiplash, carpal tunnel, migraines, fibromyalgia, TMJ, rotator cuff injuries, degenerative joint disease and arthritis.
TMT has successfully treated medical doctors, dentists, chiropractors personal trainers, pilates instructors, massage therapists and professional athletes. It works for old and new injuries, as well as pre- and post-operative conditions. TMT can be used as an adjunct or alternative to physical therapy and chiropractic.
At the end of the 8-week program, it is estimated that over 95% of Titus’ clients are symptom- or pain-free. This is based on Titus’ experience treating his own clients from the ages of 3 – 93. On a yearly basis, he states that there might be only one or two clients that are not considered “fully successful” recoveries.
Those that are not 100% pain-free after the program are typically clients that have the most severe cases and require surgery.* Others include clients that did not comply with the prescribed exercise routines or those that stopped the program before completion.*It should also be noted that TMT is extremely beneficial to clients before and after surgery. When the client enters surgery with a more aligned body, there is a better chance for a more successful surgery with a faster healing time.

The commitment that Titus asks of his clients includes:

The client must commit to taking responsibility for his or her own health; to do the exercises to the best of his or her ability and to complete the TMT program prescribed for each individual.
The complete program costs vary, depending on the treatment.
Most insurances will not cover Titus Motion Therapy but there are options. Please contact the office for further information.
Each client is assessed regarding pain level, posture and gait, and then educated as to why he or she has the painful symptoms. An exercise regime is prescribed specifically to treat each client’s musculoskeletal imbalances. From over 400 exercises, Titus assigns a specific series of movements, which — when done in a particular succession — retrain the muscles to move properly. The client must perform this 15 – 20 minute daily protocol, returning weekly for a re-evaluation and new routine, based on how the body is progressing.
Even though more than 95% of TMT clients are pain-free at the end of the individualized program, Titus advises his clients to continue with an ongoing TMT exercise program. After 8 weeks, each client is offered two customized routines that can be alternated over time. This is to prevent the body from reverting to poor form and function. The client might subsequently choose to schedule periodic visits with Titus every two to three months.
TMT consists of individualized specific exercise routines that are designed for each individual. There is no hands-on manipulation, equipment or machines. The body is treated as a whole unit with an emphasis on education and self-reliance.

Frank Titus, B.S., T.M.T., developed the Titus Motion Therapy 8-week therapeutic exercise program after 15 years experience in exercise therapy and pain management, three of which he served as Assistant Director to renowned exercise therapist Pete Egoscue. Titus has treated high profile clients in entertainment and sports from Olympians to PGA, NFL and NBA players. Titus graduated from Indiana State University with a degree in Exercise Physiology with emphasis on Kinesiology and Corporate Fitness. He founded Titus Motion Therapy in 1995 in the Los Angeles. In 2005, after 10 years with over a 95% success rate, he expands his practice with treatment through the web. He has been interviewed by SKYPE on how his process works .
Frank Titus is currently developing a certification process for Titus Motion Therapy so that other health practitioners will be able to offer the treatment.

Appointments & Billing

Questions we often get asked

We hold a weekly time for you, therefore we ask for 48 hours notice to cancel your appointment. Whenever possible, we try to offer reschedules based on your clinicians’ availability. Cancelled sessions are charged at $150 and cannot be billed to insurance.

We take credit / debit cards and FSA / HSA cards. We do not accept cash or checks, unless under special circumstances.

We regret that due to the ever-changing laws and liabilities regarding animal support letters, we are unable to provide these at this time.

Beginning January 1, 2022, if you’re uninsured or you pay for health care bills yourself (don’t have your claims submitted to your health plan), health care providers and facilities must provide you with an estimate of expected charges before you get an item or service. This is called a “good faith estimate.” Providers and facilities must provide you with a good faith estimate if you request one, or after you’ve scheduled an item or service. It should include expected charges for the primary item or service you’re getting, and any other items or services that are provided as part of the same scheduled experience.

The provider or facility you contact for a good faith estimate must provide a list of all items and services associated with your care. In 2022, the estimate isn’t required to include items and services provided to you by another provider or facility, but you can also ask these providers or facilities for a separate good faith estimate. In 2023, the provider or facility you contact will be required to provide co-provider or co-facility cost information.
For example, if you’re getting surgery, the good faith estimate could include the cost of the surgery, any lab services or tests, and the anesthesia used during the operation. But, in some instances, items or services related to the surgery that are scheduled separately, like pre-surgery appointments or physical therapy in the weeks after the surgery, might not be included in the good faith estimate.

Providers and facilities must:

-Provide the good faith estimate before an item or service is scheduled, within certain timeframes.

-Offer an itemized list of each item or service, grouped by the provider or facility offering care. Each item or service has to have specific details, like the health care code assigned to it and the expected charge.

-Explain the good faith estimate to you over the phone or in-person if you request it, and then follow up with a written (paper or electronic) estimate.

-Provide the good faith estimate in a way that’s accessible to you.

As it pertains to therapy, all this means is that you will be informed of your self-pay per session rate and the cancellation fee.
