Meet the Founder
Richard Lyon, DPT, Cert. VT

Born and raised in Mobile, Alabama, Richard Lyon has a deeply personal connection to physical therapy. A former athlete at St. Paul’s Episcopal School, he battled spondylosis during high school—a two-year journey that led him through intensive treatment and sparked his lifelong passion for rehabilitation and healing.

Richard graduated from Birmingham-Southern College with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration in 2011. He later earned his Associate of Applied Science in Physical Therapist Assisting from Bishop State Community College in 2014 and began working as a Licensed PTA. In 2016, he was accepted into the University of Findlay’s Physical Therapy program, where he earned his Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2019.

Throughout his career, Richard has been mentored by top-tier clinicians and remains committed to professional growth. He holds certifications in vestibular and post-concussion rehabilitation and dry needling.

His next goals include earning Orthopedic Clinical Specialist (OCS) and Certified Orthopedic Manual Therapist (COMT) credentials.

In 2025, Richard founded Total Mobility Physical Therapy, combining his clinical expertise and business background to bring high-quality, personalized, one-on-one care to his hometown. His philosophy is grounded in the healing power of manual therapy and the belief that movement is medicine. 

Outside the clinic, you’ll find Richard staying active through basketball, running, biking, triathlons, and enjoying life with his family and friends. He is committed to improving lives—one patient at a time.
