As Seen On & Recognized By

★★★★★

“I came to Movement Solutions for help with years-long hip pain related to running and other injuries. I had tried multiple rounds of physical therapy and steroid injections with no relief. Basic activities were painful, and I had given up hope of returning to hiking, running, and exercising. The therapists at Movement Solutions built a tailored program specifically for me. With consistent effort I was pain free and back to my favorite activities. I encourage anyone seeking pain relief and a desire to stay active to go for a consultation.”

Does This Sound Like You?

You Didn’t Come This Far to Slow Down

Avoiding Workouts

You’ve modified or stopped workouts involving squats, lunges, running, or lifting. And it still hurts.

Missing the Outdoors

You’re hesitant to head to Paris Mountain or the Swamp Rabbit Trail because you’re not sure your body will hold up.

Missing Family Time

You’re struggling to keep up with your family the way you want to, and it’s starting to affect your relationships.

Tried Everything

You’ve tried traditional PT, chiropractic, rest, and YouTube exercises. The pain keeps coming back.

What You’ve Probably Been Told

✗“Just rest it and it’ll be fine.” Months later, you’re still in pain.

✗“It’s just arthritis” or “it’s your age.” That’s a dismissal, not an explanation.

✗“Injections or surgery are your only options.” It’s the only solution they know how to offer.

✗“You should slow down and take it easy.” They don’t understand why staying active matters to you.

The Truth

✓It is not normal to be in pain as you get older. Pain is a signal, not a sentence.

✓Injections and surgery are not your only options. They may be the only options you’ve been told about.

✓Most chronic pain has contributing causes. Movement, nutrition, sleep, and stress all play a role.

✓You don’t have to give up the activities you love. The right plan gets you back to them, smarter and stronger.

★★★★★

“I came in with a pinched nerve causing tingling and numbness in my dominant arm. After a thorough evaluation, within a month my symptoms were 99% gone and we moved on to building strength. The PTs are responsive, track my progress through an app, and adjust my workouts on tough pain days. I’d recommend them to anyone over 40 looking to regain strength.”

Why You’re Still in Pain

Not All Physical Therapy Is the Same

Most people who are still hurting have already tried something. The problem usually isn’t effort. It’s that nothing has actually addressed the source.

You May Have Already Tried…

✗A corporate PT clinic where you spent more time alone doing generic exercises than working with a specialist. You’re seen for 10 minutes and sent on your way.
✗Doctors who spent 5 minutes with you just to offer more meds or a referral for injections or surgery.
✗Chiropractic, massage, stretching, or YouTube exercises that helped temporarily but didn’t fix the underlying problem.
✗Being told you’re just getting older and should slow down.

Movement Solutions Is for You If…

✓You’re interested in a long-term solution rather than a quick fix that provides temporary relief.
✓You want honest answers, a clear plan, and treatment that feels personalized to you.
✓You want to get back to the activities that matter, whether that’s lifting, hiking, golf, pickleball, or keeping up with your family.
✓You understand that real recovery takes real work, and you’re ready to commit to it.

Built for Active Adults 40-60+

What You Get at Movement Solutions

Specialists for Active Adults 40-60+

You receive a customized program designed for your stage of life and goals. Not a generic routine you could find on YouTube.

Exclusive One-to-One Care

Every session is with a doctoral-level PT with advanced training in helping active adults like you. Your clinicians know your name, story, and goals, and are in this with you.

Clarity on Day One

Your first session includes a full movement assessment. You’ll leave knowing exactly what’s causing your pain and confident you can solve it.

★★★★★

“At 55, after nearly a decade of overuse injuries and chronic back pain, orthopedic specialists were offering me shots and predicting only more fragility with age. Movement Solutions quickly diagnosed the muscular weaknesses causing my pain, gave me a clear plan, and guided me over 6 months. I’m back to enjoying my favorite activities, and looking forward to remaining active for many more years.”

Meet the Founder

Dr. Tim Varghese

DPT OCS Physical Therapist & Founder

Dr. Tim Varghese founded Movement Solutions in 2017 after becoming frustrated with a healthcare system that focused on quantity over quality, generic care, and temporary fixes instead of real solutions.

He earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the Medical College of Georgia and holds advanced certifications in orthopedics, strength and conditioning, and movement-based rehabilitation. His approach focuses on finding the true source of the problem rather than simply treating symptoms, so active adults 40-60+ can get back to the activities they love.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Tim enjoys life with his wife, Mary Laurel, and their three children. They attend Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Greenville, SC and strive to live in light of the gospel.

“I have been very happy with my experience and progress at Movement Solutions! The therapists listen to you and adjust the exercises based on your needs each week to help you get stronger. They are knowledgeable and kind. Movement Solutions has helped reduce my pain and increase my strength. They have helped me be consistent with my exercises at home with their accountability system. They have talked to me about nutrition which has helped as well! They see me as a whole person, not just as a patient that needs fixing.”

“Movement Solutions isn’t your typical PT office. No multiple patients per therapist, no feeling like just a number. They provide individualized attention, aim for real results, and genuinely know their clients. That care shows in every phone call, text, and appointment. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for PT.”

Kat S.Greenville, SC · ✓ Verified Google Review

★★★★★

“I went from barely being able to walk without medication to totally pain free. Just last week I set personal bests in deadlifting and exercises I haven’t been able to do in over 10 years. This is NOT ‘big box’ physical therapy. It’s one-on-one care with a credentialed PT who develops an individualized plan around your goals. Worth every penny.”

“My knee pain was stopping me from doing everything: steps, walking, sitting on the floor with my kids. After trying so many different treatments, I had almost lost hope. After a couple months with the team at Movement Solutions, I can now run and squat again. Last week, I ran my first 20-mile week in years.”

Common Questions

Before You Call, Read This

What do you treat?+

We treat active adults with pain and movement problems who want a real answer and a long-term solution. This includes back pain, hip pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, neck pain, foot problems, etc. If pain is keeping you from the gym, the golf course, pickleball, the Swamp Rabbit Trail, or Paris Mountain, that’s exactly who we’re built for.

How is this different from PT I’ve done before?+

Most PT clinics treat everyone the same. Sedentary patients, young athletes, and active adults 40-60+ all get the same generic program. At Movement Solutions, your care is customized around who you are, what you do, and what you want to get back to. You receive one-on-one care with a doctoral-level PT who specializes in helping active adults like you.

Where are you located?+

We’re located at 115 Pelham Road, Suite 12, Greenville, SC 29615, in the Pelham Court Shopping Center (same center as Bohemian Bull and Capri’s Italian Restaurant, just down the road from Publix).

Many of our patients travel from Simpsonville, Greer, Taylors, Easley, Mauldin, Travelers Rest, Spartanburg, and Western North Carolina.

What happens when I fill out the form?+

Someone from our team will reach out within the next business day to answer your questions about availability and cost, and to confirm we’re the right fit for your situation. No obligation, no pressure.

Do you see patients outside the 40-60+ age range?+

Yes. While we specialize in active adults 40-60+, we regularly work with people outside that range who share the same goals: staying active, avoiding medications or surgery, and finding a long-term solution. Fill out the form and let’s find out if we’re a good fit.
