Clinical care for women who want to move well for life.
Cash-based physical therapy and Pilates in Mobile, AL, designed for runners, lifters, rotational athletes, and women navigating every season of life. Every session is one-on-one, fully personalized, and built around what you actually need.
Care for women at every season of life.
Whether you're training toward a goal, returning to sport after baby, or just trying to figure out why something keeps hurting, there's a place for you here.
Runners & Lifters
Whether you're logging miles before sunrise or chasing a new PR in the gym, this is care designed around how you actually train and what your body needs to keep doing it.
Rotational Athletes
Swimmers, golfers, tennis and pickleball players, baseball and softball athletes. This is sport-specific care from someone who has actually competed and understands what these sports ask of your body.
Pregnancy & Postpartum
Birth prep, diastasis recti, returning to running or lifting after baby. There is so much more to postpartum recovery than the six-week clearance, and this is where we get into all of it.
Pelvic Floor & Orthopedics
Leaking, prolapse, pelvic pain, back pain, hip and knee issues. These things are common but they are not things you just have to live with, and you deserve care that actually addresses them.
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, load patterns, and sport-specific demands behind what's happening, not just where it hurts.
Swimming
Shoulder impingement, catch mechanics, scapular stability, overhead load. I swam competitively for four years, so I understand this sport from the inside and not just from a textbook.
Golf
Thoracic rotation, hip-shoulder separation, lead hip stability, lumbar load and 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, not just getting you through the acute phase.
Pickleball
Shoulder mechanics, lateral hip stability, elbow position and deceleration demands. Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in Mobile and the injury patterns are very specific.
Baseball & Softball
Pitching and throwing mechanics, deceleration, hip rotation and oblique loading. Arm health is everything in these sports and the window to address issues before they become serious is shorter than most people realize.
Lacrosse & More
Rotational power, stick-side loading, change of direction and core anti-rotation. And honestly, if your sport demands force through the trunk in any direction, what we do here applies to you.
"I spent four years as a collegiate swimmer and team captain. That experience completely shapes how I evaluate and treat rotational athletes because I know what these sports actually feel like from the inside."
As a former collegiate swimmer, half marathoner, and triathlete who still trains at Tribe Fitness, I bring real athletic context to every evaluation. I understand your stroke, your swing, your serve and the cumulative toll a full season takes on your body. That perspective changes how I treat people.

"What I want for every person I work with is pretty simple: I want you to actually 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, 500-hour certified Pilates instructor, former collegiate swimmer, and lifelong athlete based in Mobile, AL.
I created Magnolia Movement Co. because women who move deserve more than a 15-minute insurance visit. You deserve a clinician who understands sport-specific demands, asks the right questions, and builds care around your actual goals and not a generic protocol.
