hi there and welcome!
Mary Cline, MPT
Hi and thank you for checking into Motus Physical Therapy.
I have been a physical therapist since 2007. I graduated with a Masters of Physical Therapy at the University of New Mexico and a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science in 2001. I have lived in New Mexico most of my life. I enjoy the ease of being outdoors in NM and love to spend time with my family. An active lifestyle is important but I have realized that we need a balance of both rest and activity, and that balance can look different through the varying seasons of life.
The focus of my post-graduate education has primarily been through the Barral Institute. There my training has been in manual therapy focusing on nerve, visceral (digestive system) and vascular (cardiopulmonary systems) and joint mobilizations. This treatment approach combined with others that I’ve studied give me a unique perspective on the body compared to the traditional PT education. I look at the body as a whole as everything is interconnected. I think this is important as medicine has become so specialized that many medical professionals have difficulty seeing beyond their specialty and looking at the system as a whole.
I have a great passion for what I do. I love working with people to get them functioning more optimally so they can have an improved quality of life, hopeful for positive change and/or return to things they love.

Hello, my name is Rusty. Born and raised here in Albuquerque, a graduate of Sandia High School, The University of New Mexico, and Pima Medical Institute, my roots are grounded in this city.
I am a hands-on practitioner providing individualized physical therapy interventions. Practicing as a physical therapist assistant since 2013, the experiences I have obtained offer the ability to successfully treat various conditions. I believe the hands are the gateway able to deliver a therapeutic opportunity to reinstate balance to the body. I also integrate targeted movement restoration patterns to rebuild functional mobility. Specializations that I perform include, vestibular and balance rehabilitation, musculoskeletal dysfunction, fascial restrictions, headaches, concussions, as well as neural and visceral mobilizations. I have worked with a wide range of patients from pediatrics to seniors. My passions include family, friends, sports, and fitness.
