"The Movement Clinic is incredible. My trainer, Chris, is one of the kindest and most genuine people I've ever met. In just two months, we managed to heal my grade 3 ACL tear down to a grade 1 sprain—which is insane. Every session is productive, the clinic is in a great location, and they have so many amazing resources for recovery and training. You can tell they genuinely care about helping you get better. I can't recommend The Movement Clinic (and especially Chris) enough."

"I injured myself recently, and I wasn't happy with the physical therapy offered through my insurance. I feel so lucky to have found the Movement Clinic as an alternative. Chris has been awesome. He tailors each session to my specific needs that day. My pain is gone and now I'm working on strength and injury prevention. The app they use is really helpful in guiding at home exercises too. It's definitely been worth it."
