Philosophy & Approach
Eric Weatherly is always looking to maximize efficiency in what you do and to establish proper alignment with you in the actions you love to do or the actions you’re required to do. Whether you play sports or play guitar, whether you work at a desk or in manual labor, your body should be working at its best.
At Independent Therapy Solutions, we believe your journey to healing should be driven by you and your practitioner, not by cookie-cutter approaches to PT or by insurance companies that are not invested in your complete recovery. Every individual is unique, from their motions and behaviors to their stature and abilities. Your treatment should be unique, too.
Some PT clinics simply provide exercises for an injured or recovering part of the body. This is not always—or even often—the best approach. Looking at the big picture, ITS begins treatment with a thorough, 1-on-1 assessment that takes into consideration all aspects of your daily life and regular activities. A patient presenting with shoulder pain at other clinics may only be given a treatment plan of at-home shoulder exercises. At ITS, a hands-on assessment may instead reveal that the pain is manifesting not from the shoulder but from a neck or upper back issue. A proper diagnosis then defines treatment.

About Eric Weatherly, DPT
As a young high school athlete in rural Mangham, Louisiana, Eric had a bright future in baseball before breaking his leg in an unfortunate slide into second base. In one second on the field, Eric’s life would be forever changed. As college scouts focused their attention elsewhere, Eric received the attention of a generous, devoted physical therapist that helped him recover in only four months despite a doctor’s prognosis that he’d never play sports again. This experience, combined with Eric’s lifelong desire to serve others, set him on the path to attaining a Doctorate of Physical Therapy (DPT) and open his own practice dedicated to helping others. With a focus on manual therapy, Eric takes a hands-on, customized approach to each patient in their journey towards healing.
