Information may not be reliable

Important Notice: Back in Motion will not be scheduling appointments for new or established patients until January 3, 2011. From now until that time, owner Louise Merkx-Quinn will be in fellowship training under the supervision of a senior McKenzie therapist. Upon completion of that program, she will receive a diploma signifying her achievement of the highest level of training available from the McKenzie Institute.
When Back in Motion reopens in 2011, we will be in a new facility and be able to offer the finest physical therapy available in the Grand Rapids area. If you wish to be informed of our new location when it is finalized, please complete our online form and we will get in touch with you late this year. We apologize for any inconvenience, thank you for your patience, and hope to see you next year!
