Experts in Movement
Our practice is built around a model we call “The 3 As.” The first is the Ability of our staff. Always professional, our teams practice evidence-based interventions to restore, maintain, and enhance body function. The second is the ease of Access and believe that physical therapy should be accessible to all who need it. The third is the amazing Atmosphere we create. We know PT is hard work, but we believe a positive and upbeat environment makes healing more effective.

We received the 2012 Jane L. Synder National Private Practice of the Year Award. This was granted annually by the Private Practice Section (PPS) of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA).

100% Employee-Owned
Just what it says—that our employees are the owners of Movement for Life Physical Therapy. Every full-time employee and many part-time employees have a direct path to ownership of company stock at no cost to them. 100% of our stock is held by employees and that sets us apart (only about 1 out of 200 businesses in America can say that). Employee ownership closes the loop between the company’s success and your financial success. As an employee, you contribute your ideas, effort, and teamwork. Your work, combined with the work of your fellow employee-owners, drives better company performance. This increases the value of our business, which flows back to you as an owner in the form of shares and ultimately dollars in the bank.

Physical Therapist Programs
First-Year Mentoring Program
At Movement for Life, we are not only a physical therapy practice but also a company that takes great pride in helping develop our team members. New graduate physical therapists can expect to have a senior clinician as a mentor for their first year of practice. In the first 3 months, you will have dedicated mentor meetings each week as well as a specific patient care schedule to allow you to integrate into full-time patient care with confidence. During mentoring time you and your mentor will work through a curriculum including article reviews, mentored evaluations, observed evaluations, and ongoing discussion on practice areas you or your mentor feel require additional support. You will also participate in education to support your autonomous practice as a therapist, with topics including the healthcare landscape, revenue cycle and billing, as well as customer service training.
Residency Program
The Movement for Life Team has partnered with the University of Southern California to create an exceptional Orthopedic Residency Program. Accelerate your professional development and work in a collaborative and engaging environment. Receive an excellent salary and benefits package as you gain advanced knowledge and skills in orthopedic physical therapy. This program combines expertise from one of the premier Physical Therapy programs in the country with our local team of Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialists (OCS).
