Lower Extremity Muscle Strength Baseline (MMT)

Know Where You Stand — Before Pain, Falls, or Loss of Independence Decide for You

This service provides a professional Lower Extremity Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) baseline, performed by a licensed physical therapist. It is designed for individuals who want objective clarity about their leg strength before committing to a full physical therapy evaluation.

Muscle weakness in the hips, thighs, knees, and ankles often develops quietly. Over time, it can contribute to balance problems, joint pain, difficulty with stairs, slower walking, and increased fall risk. This assessment gives you a clear snapshot of your current strength, helping you make informed decisions about your health.

What This Includes

• One-on-one testing with a licensed physical therapist
• Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) of key lower-extremity muscle groups
• Clear explanation of your strength levels and any asymmetries
• Identification of early weakness patterns related to mobility and stability
• Honest guidance on whether further evaluation or treatment is recommended

This is not a full physical therapy evaluation and does not include a treatment plan. It is a focused screening designed to give you insight and peace of mind.

A Simple, Fair Path Forward

If, after your strength testing, it becomes clear that you would benefit from a full physical therapy evaluation and personalized treatment plan:

• Your $75 MMT fee will be fully credited
• You will only pay an additional $100
• Total cost remains $175, the same as a standard evaluation

There is no pressure and no obligation to proceed. The decision is entirely yours.

Who This Is Ideal For

• Adults 40+ who want to stay strong, mobile, and independent
• Individuals noticing weakness, stiffness, or balance changes
• Those recovering from inactivity, illness, or prior injury
• Anyone who wants data before committing to full therapy
• Caregivers seeking objective information for a loved one

Why Start With a Strength Baseline

Strength is one of the most important predictors of long-term mobility and independence. Addressing weakness early is often simpler, less costly, and more effective than waiting until pain, falls, or disability occur.

This service respects your time, your budget, and your right to make informed decisions about your body.

Start with clarity. Build confidence. Move forward with intention.
