Evolution Therapy in Motion is a Houston physical therapy practice specializing in orthopedic, sports medicine, and musculoskeletal treatment. Doctor-led, hands-on, evidence-based.
Dr. J has specialized in the treatment of orthopedics and sports medicine for over five years. He is a graduate from the University of St. Augustine in 2015, where he completed his curriculum in Advanced Manual Therapy and developed an appreciation to treat with an evidence-based treatment approach.
With a hands-on treatment philosophy, he recognizes specific movement patterns that impose limitations through soft tissue or joint restrictions. Continuing his post-graduate education, he has added Myofascial Release, Trigger Point Dry Needling, Joint Mobilization, Therapeutic Cupping, and Spinal Manipulation — trained under some of the most remarkable professionals in the field today.
His experience treats chronic pain cases as well as pre- and post-operative conditions. He enjoys helping active aging adults and athletes recover from complex shoulder injuries and hip pathology back to their sport and play.
A former athlete and military veteran in the U.S. Air Force Reserves, Dr. J also applies his training to competitive bodybuilding — with the same focus, energy, and discipline he brings to every patient.

“Dr. Cotton is honestly exceptional at what he does. After my knee surgery, I spent over 4 months with a physical therapist who wasn’t producing results. My first day working with Dr. Cotton I could feel the difference in my knee recovery, literally the same day. I only wish I had gone to Dr. Cotton from the very beginning.”
