Optima Physical Therapy

Optima Physical Therapy is a physical therapy practice led by Todd Hooks, a physical therapist with more than 25 years of experience. The practice takes a hands-on manual therapy approach aimed at finding and treating the root cause of pain and movement problems rather than only the symptoms. Services include dry needling, soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization and manipulation, and neuromobilization, with treatment plans built around assessment, planning, training and recovery. Patients have included athletes and people recovering from shoulder and knee surgery.

The practice is in Mountain Brook, at Office Park Circle in Suite 100, and patients can request an appointment through the website. Todd Hooks has worked with several sports teams, including the University of Alabama, the University of West Alabama, and the New Orleans Pelicans. Sessions focus on one-on-one attention, and the practice treats both injury recovery and preventive care.
