OUR WHY
More Than Movement was born out of necessity.
We noticed that the current state of healthcare operated to keep people IN the healthcare system - instead of out of it.
We saw too many people who were robbed of physical freedom.
They were told to stop working out.
Taught to be fearful of using their body.
Told to take medication and undergo potentially unnecessary surgeries.
This is why we believe so strongly in providing a different healthcare experience that empowers our clients and put's them in control of their health.
Yes, we're Doctors of Physical Therapy. We specialize in movement, pain, and rehabilitation
of the body - but we also acknowledge that there is so much "More" that goes into overcoming the physical aspects of pain and injury.
This is where the "More" in More Than Movement comes from.
OUR APPROACH
We define health as your ability to “yes.”
YES to going on a run
YES to playing with your child.
YES to starting a new fitness program.
When you find yourself dealing with an injury, chronic pain, or deteriorating health, you quickly realize how many things you cannot say YES to.
Most healthcare professionals feed into the process by telling you things like:
“You will have to live with this for the rest of your life”
“Why would you want to do that type of exercise”
"Just take it easy"
For people who are not planning on giving up their physical freedom, these statements from a trusted healthcare professional can be crushing.
When you work with More Than Movement, you don’t need to express how important it is for you to continue to stay on the move. We get how important it is for you because we LIVE it and believe movement is medicine.
We want to know what you want to say “YES” to.
That’s what drives us.
The stronger your desire to say YES, the more likely we are to help you.

MTM Difference
In the process of extreme technological advancements in healthcare, the system has lost the ability to individualize and recognize what makes each person unique.
It’s important to appreciate how one person’s pain experience will be unique to another person’s, even if the same body part is in question.
This perspective is important because it allows us to develop a comprehensive view of the person sitting in front of us.
And this is where most treatments fail.
They are so zoomed in on a body part but haven’t taken the time to understand all of the thoughts, decisions, habits, and actions that have led to your pain, injury, and management of the condition.
Everyone is searching for the “root cause” of their pain. The reality is that pain and injury is complex. If it wasn’t, you probably wouldn’t be here.
Even though, it is possible to identify areas of opportunity that are directly related to your condition.
We do this through a 3-step process.
Assess: We perform our due diligence through a 1-hour exam leaving no stone unturned. Mobility, Flexibility, Strength, Technique, Control. By the end of this session, we will identify your 3 areas of opportunity that can start being addressed immediately.
Activate: Activation of movement, muscles, and patterns that require support to help your healing
Adapt: Most people view stress as a bad thing. When deployed in the correct amounts, and in the right areas, stress can be one of the most powerful things you can give to your body. Without stress, there is no adaptation. We strategically use stress to drive long-lasting changes in your body allowing for physical resilience.
