Testimonials

 "I was a patient of Rebecca's and would still be if we had not moved away. She helped me move more comfortably despite degenerative disc disease and the stress of a husband seriously ill with a stroke. Her expertise and listening skills were of great benefit to me." M.S.D. 

 "Rebecca is a top-notch, physical therapist, professional and personable. She is a great listener, works with you to understand the problem, and sets a clear pathway for healing. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for relief." C.M. 

 "I have been a patient of Rebecca Eichner's for 11 visits in April and May of this year for shoulder and knee pain. I have suffered from arthritis for a long while due to age related physical problems. I had postponed seeing a physical therapist as a previous experience at a different physical therapist office had not brought relief. I found Rebecca not only to be highly competent, but also caring and patient, and she also encouraged me to continue my progress. Her work included very helpful massages of my limbs and the teaching of exercises to improve my condition. She has truly helped improve my pain and helped me gain much better use of my arms and legs. She gave me ample instructions and tools to help me work on exercises which led to reduction in pain and better movement. Any patient would benefit greatly from her care and expertise. I certainly benefited greatly." H.N. 

 "Thinking about how much you have helped me in my journey of getting back on my (functioning) feet again! I'm beginning to see, slowly but surely, that I'm actually getting better, yahoo! I knew you would be truly happy that I am finally seeing progress! You have played such a HUGE role in that accomplishment and I just wanted to let you know what an important piece of that you have been! Thank you." L.M.T 

 "I have achieved major movement goals using Rebecca's services as a physical therapist in my home. She has been unfailingly professional, knowledgeable, and efficient while encouraging me to increase my range of motion and building up my physical stamina. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing physical therapy services in the comfort of their own home."

F.A.Q.

We at Always In Motion Physical Therapy & Wellness believe that taking care of your health should be simple and accessible. We also believe you and your healthcare providers should be the only ones involved in your health care decisions, not your insurance company. Over the years, insurance companies have placed more and more restrictions on all aspects of physical therapy care, basing their decisions on saving money rather than what is right for the patient. For this reason, we have chosen to remain out-of-network (OON).
No. In the state of North Carolina, patients have total, unrestricted access to a physical therapist, also known as "direct-access." This allows you to see a physical therapist without a physician referral or prescription.

However, if you are a Medicare recipient, we will be required to have one of your physicians sign your therapy plan of care (POC) in order to bill Medicare.

🚶‍♂️ Walker vs. Cane: Which Is Right for You?

As we age or recover from injury or surgery, staying mobile is key to maintaining independence and quality of life. But sometimes, a little extra support is needed. That’s where mobility aids like canes and walkers come in.

Choosing between a walker and a cane isn’t always straightforward — the best option depends on your specific needs, balance, and strength. Let’s break it down:

 When a Cane Might Be the Right Choice

A cane provides minimal support and is ideal for those who:

  • Have mild balance issues
  • Experience slight weakness in one leg or side of the body
  • Need a little help getting around the house or community
  • Are recovering from a minor surgery or injury

Types of Canes:

  • Single-point cane: Standard, for light support
  • Quad cane: Wider base for more stability

 Pros: Lightweight, easy to transport, fits in tight spaces Consider: Requires good coordination and upper body strength

 When a Walker Is the Better Option

A walker offers greater stability and is ideal for individuals who:

  • Have moderate to severe balance issues
  • Are at high risk for falls
  • Need support on both sides of the body
  • Are recovering from surgery (like knee or hip replacements)

Types of Walkers:

  • Standard walker (no wheels): Maximum stability
  • Two-wheeled walker: Easier to push but still supportive
  • Rollator (four-wheeled walker): Great for those who can walk but need help with balance and endurance

 Pros: Offers strong support, some models include a seat Consider: Bulkier, harder to use on stairs, not ideal for tight spaces

 A Few Questions to Ask Before Choosing

  • Do you feel unstable when walking short distances?
  • Is your weakness on one side or both?
  • Do you tire easily or need to sit often?
  • Will you be navigating uneven ground, stairs, or tight hallways?

 Talk to a Professional First

It’s always best to speak with a physical therapist before making your choice. At Always in Motion Physical Therapy & Wellness, we’ll assess your strength, balance, and functional mobility to recommend the best option—and teach you how to use it safely.

 Need Help Choosing or Learning to Use Your Device?

We provide in-home physical therapy services, so you can safely learn how to use your cane or walker where you need it most—right in your living space.
