Physical therapy, clinical Pilates, and strength training in Mobile, AL for people who move.

Care for people who move.

Sport-specific care for
every rotation.
Rotational sports place unique demands on the spine, hips, and shoulders that most general care doesn't account for. I look at the mechanics and sport-specific demands behind what's happening, not just where it hurts.
Swimming
Shoulder impingement, catch mechanics, scapular stability, overhead load.
Golf
Thoracic rotation, hip-shoulder separation, lead hip stability, follow-through deceleration. Golf injuries are usually a mechanics problem, not just a tissue problem.
Tennis
Lateral hip stability, rotator cuff demand, serve mechanics, split-step loading. The goal is keeping you on the court through a full season.
Pickleball
Shoulder mechanics, lateral hip stability, elbow position and deceleration demands. One of the fastest-growing sports in Mobile, with very specific injury patterns.
Baseball & Softball
Pitching and throwing mechanics, deceleration, hip rotation and oblique loading. Arm health is everything, and the window to address issues is shorter than most realize.
Lacrosse & More
Rotational power, stick-side loading, change of direction and core anti-rotation. If your sport demands force through the trunk, this applies to you.
"I've been a competitive swimmer my whole life. That shapes how I evaluate and treat rotational athletes because I know what these sports feel like from the inside."
As a lifelong swimmer, half marathoner, and triathlete, I bring real athletic context to every evaluation. That perspective changes how I treat people.

"What I want for every person I work with is simple: understand what's happening in your body, trust it, and feel confident moving in it for a long time."
Hi, I'm Dr. Erica Dekle — a Doctor of Physical Therapy and clinical Pilates instructor, lifelong athlete based in Mobile, AL. Clinical Pilates means every session is guided by the same movement analysis and clinical reasoning I use as a PT, not just a standard exercise routine.
I created Magnolia Movement Co. because active people deserve more than a 15-minute insurance visit. You deserve a clinician who understands sport-specific demands and builds care around your actual goals, not a generic protocol.
Every session is one-on-one, unhurried, and built around you.
