About Tim Sobie, PT, Ph.D.
Dr. Tim Sobie is both a physical therapist (OUHSC 86’) and a senior practitioner in The Feldenkrais Method® (FPTP Oregon 96’). He completed his Master of Science degree in Behavioral Medicine in 1999 and his doctoral dissertation research Ph.D. in clinical psychophysiology (Mind Body Medicine) at Saybrook University in 2016 by comparing an original, body schema & neuroplasticity-based Feldenkrais approach against usual physical therapy 'core stabilization' protocols for chronic low back pain. He is now also certified in Office Ergonomics via the OEAP program, North Carolina State University.
Tim continues as clinical director of Alliant Physical Therapy & Integral Medicine ( www.alliantcare.com ) in Tacoma-Olympia, WA, USA, while moving to teach telehealth & consult online via SOBUS WellCare Solutions (www.sobusmedia.com ) in addition to hosting his future podcast show entitled “All Things Perception” and his blog page: ‘endogenous.me’

"Tim's hands-on approach to pain and limitation is one of a kind -- and gentle. While I was at first skeptical, he helped me to recover lost mobility from an old injury at a downtime in my life when not much else was really working. Happy today, I can now walk for continuous miles without pain."

BREATHING, FLUIDS, & FLOW™
(BFF)™
Every Sentient Being has a fluid & neuroplastic biology
BFF gets you unstuck from stasis of life.
...in these anxious times, 'Breathing, Fluids, and Flow ' can indeed become your reliable BFF (Best Friend Forever), in helping you to access airspace, heart space, head space & cell space.
------------------------------------------------------------
CONFIDENT INNER ALIGNMENT™
(CIA)™
Feeling Overwhelmed? Pulled in Multiple Directions?
Your inner gyroscope needs a new navigation!
...by using my inner-ear experiential anatomy process as a vestibular framework for ergonomic workspace & positive social-emotional presence, you too can harness internal superpowers for cultivating an ever-more-confident state of 'Neutral-Midrange-Maximum-Ease' in almost any confrontation situation that you may ever encounter.
------------------------------------------------------------
SELF-ADJUSTING SPINE
(SAS)™
Outside Adjustments are only an option -
not a necessity!
Banish Back & Neck Pain + Tension another way.
​
Send out an S.A.S. instead of an S.O.S. !
...while vertebral manipulation and soft tissue mobilization / release techniques are skillful applications for the short term; they are not meant to become a dependency-based lifestyle for the long term. By harnessing upgrades in 'background body schema' as a whole, and enlisting the power of neuroplasticity with Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), you too can acquire a more resilient & self-organizing & functional spine.

“...unless there is significant change within a person's internal model for the sensory representation of effective action, becoming expressed and confirmed through new attention to new movement, then there is really no change at all..."

​
Virtual Reality Bones™
I developed Virtual Reality Bones™ as a new tool that helps clients to clarify and shift their internal model - their “self image” or internal representation of their unique 'body map' - so they can make life-long changes for more effective use of whole self & pain-free action in the world. I look forward to sharing my work & application certification process with you.
​
Interoceptive Touch™
Cognitive Manual Therapy – Hands-on manipulation and manual therapy techniques with intent to alter body perception away from ‘correction of illness pathology’ and forward toward ‘the development of functional possibility’ with particular emphasis upon exploiting the inherent robustness of skeletal density contiguities being distributed throughout the entire body's skeletal framework as a whole.
