A car accident 23 months ago lead me to neck and back surgery. Doctors and surgeon said everything was good physically. I went to 2 other physical therapist before attending movement specialist. I have never seen more passionate people about physical therapy. They have inspired and pushed me out of my comfort zone to have achieved amazing results beyond my experience in p/t. They have educated me on proper techniques and even done my exercises next to me to inspire me to push through the pain caused by scar tissue due to being laid up during the pandemic. I highly recommend Movment Specialist for

I’ve been seeing Taylor for pre-hab and rehab for my acl reconstruction and meniscus tear. She is an amazing PT and has kept me hopeful and confident through this process. I’m always welcomed and get put in a great mood walking into Movement specialists. Every person is so nice and professional. I have seen such improvement in my knee and I am so happy I found Taylor and this facility. I highly recommend if you are looking for a great environment and doctors that really want to see you heal to go to Movement Specialist.

1st Phorm Review: Huge fan of this company! I typically use the Megawatt preworkout (Rocket Pop flavor is the best!) before I head out and surf. I need an extra oomph to get out of bed and catch the early waves; this preworkout makes me feel unstoppable and maintain high energy throughout my entire surf session! Afterwards I turn to their BCAA’s to replenish my body and help with recovery. I’m a huge fan of the Blue Raspberry flavor, which is a perfect balance between tart and sweet, making it a nice treat after a hard workout!

I absolutely love this place!! I was going to their old facility but this new location is GREAT.
They are very conscious with the COVID situations and constantly cleaning and wiping things down which is very reassuring as a client.
The customer services has always been phenomenal. The workouts are always challenge and I love the mission of this clinic. As an athlete I am constantly striving to better myself and this is the place to go for PT or even strength and conditioning. Su keeps my body performing at its highest capabilities as well as educating me about my body.
If I could rate this place

The lower back has been a big problem most of my 30’s. Carrying kids and slowing down in my activities cause some big time back issues. It used to “go out” on me a lot.
That was until I saw movement specialist. They have dialed me in to be as active as I want and teach me how to keep a healthy back. They didn’t focus on my back. They focused on everything else and showed me that my other parts of the body were not being used at all or used properly.
I now am able to keep up with my aging kids and stay injury free.
Just Go see them! You won’t regret it. It’s all in the details over

I have been coming to Dr. Su for over 5 years and more recently Dr. Taylor. I always look forward to my appointments. Thanks to MSPT, I have recovered from several injuries including achilles tendonitis, clavicle fracture, and an ACL tear. Staff are friendly and helpful. Excited to see that they have started to carry supplements from 1st Phorm. They offer anything from pre-workout to immunity boosters to proteins that help me make gains and stay healthy.

This is a great place to be. The staff at the facility make you feel safe and part of the family while you are recovering from your ailment. There is always someone working with you while you are there to assist you and you are never left alone to do your exercises. You really feel like you are getting the best treatment to help you achieve your goals.

Su and her team are amazing. Great at making you feel better and really great exercises.
I have done physical therapy with them twice now. Once a few years ago for a hip/ leg injury and this year for my back and shoulders. Truly great at making you feel in tip top shape. It takes time but they are patient and incredibly kind. They do all sorts of things for the community to which is awesome.

Movement Specialist PT is AMAZING. John Huang has helped me to get back to doing the things I love and for that I'm so grateful! I went to him after having chronic pain post knee surgery, and the treatment has exceeded my expectations in every way. The care is so specific to your needs and treats the root of the problem. I've had so much 1:1 time with John, and each week he has tweaked and changed my program to help me reach my goals. I have so much more mobility. He met me where I was at both physically and emotionally and made it fun. I genuinely looked forward to going - he even brought a SpikeBall

My experience with Movement Specialists has been nothing but positive. I've had shoulder pain for years, and finally decided to try and fix it this past April. I was referred to Dr. John by a friend who spoke highly of him. After explaining my fitness history, and performing some stretches/exercises, Dr. John pinpointed what caused my pain, what I had done to further exacerbate this pain, and how I could recover and avoid future shoulder pain. I've been going to Movement Specialists for a few months now, and my shoulder pain has disappeared completely. Now, I'm working on strengthening my shoulder
