Tom Dalonzo-Baker – Total Motion Release

To achieve the best results for your business, you should be more innovative and open to new ideas in creating systems that would make your staff and your client’s life easier. Owner of Total Motion Release, Tom Dalonzo-Baker spent years developing his physical therapy skills to the benefit of his patients and staff and, intuitively, took those same systematization procedures to overhaul his front desk and billing operations. A physical therapist for over twenty years, Tom uncovers everything we need to know about Total Motion Release – how he duplicated himself by working with his PT’s to align their care throughout his facilities, the three rules that changed the lives of their patients as well as their clinic’s system, and their wellness pyramid and progressive goals.

Duplicating Yourself And Creating Successful Systems with Tom Dalonzo-Baker, PT of Total Motion Release

I’ve got Tom Dalonzo-Baker of Total Motion Release and Total Motion Release Seminars. You may have seen his ads or his courses. I’m excited to bring him on because he not only talks about how he developed Total Motion Release but how he took the systemization, the process that he used to create Total Motion Release and that new technique within his company and use those processes to overhaul his front desk operations and billing operations. He took such a simple process. You’ll read it in his story, the simple process of tweaking and changing those things in his treatment and use the same process to overhaul everything else within this company. He’s been successful in the continuing education space. Tom also owned and operated four PT clinics in North Carolina and sold his last one to his staff in January 2017. Maybe we’ll have to have him back for that interview to see how you can exit by selling your clinics to your staff. I thought it’s a great podcast and a lot that you can take from it.

I’m excited to bring on Tom Dalonzo-Baker of Total Motion Release Seminars. Thanks for joining me, Tom.

Thanks for having me on, Nathan. I appreciate it.

I’m really excited to bring you on. I started making lists of the people that I wanted to interview and your name was on there. I’m glad I finally got to get you on here.

This is going to be fun.

We love hearing wisdom wherever it comes from. Tell everybody a little bit about your story, maybe the rise of Total Motion Release and some of the genesis for that, but how you got to where you’re at. You’re not just the Founder of total motion release, you also own physical therapy practices. That’s why I’m excited to bring you on because you were able to do both.

I was a teacher before I was a PT and I was a business guy before that. I have a business degree, a teaching degree and a PT degree. They used to say, “When are you ever going to do anything with this stuff?” I said “It’s all going to match together. I own the business, I teach and I do PT with it.” The PT part of it started in 1999, so I’ve been doing this for twenty years. Right out of school, I knew I wanted to own clinic. I worked for somebody two or three months and they sucked. I was like, “This is crazy.” I walked into a new fitness center and I said, “I know you have a closet. Can I at least start in that closet?” This guy was nice and he shook my hand. Thank goodness because the next day a big company came in and asked to be involved, but he said, “I shook your hand and I’m a man of my word.” I started in a closet in a big wellness center in 1999. From there, I had a clinic all the way up until 2017. I sold it to my staff in January of 2017. I have my company with seminars and we do Total Motion Release. We do a pediatric TMR course and I’ve done that out to the clinician since 2005.
