ABOUT US

At Movement Arts Physical Therapy, we combine our expertise in physical therapy and manual therapy with innovative healing techniques, somatic mind-body therapies, and movement retraining.

Our view is that the body is an interconnected network of physical, mental, emotional and energetic systems that has the capacity to innately heal itself when given the environment and tools that it needs.

We specialize in providing a healing environment utilizing complementary modalities to set the stage for recovery from complex injury and pain issues, system imbalances and traumatic holding patterns.

Typical treatment sessions are 45-55 minutes with the entirety of the appointment with the therapist.

Please contact us by email or call and leave a message for an appointment. (805)497-0388
