A Little More About Us

MovementX was founded by a group of passionate physical therapists who believed there had to be a better way to provide care. Frustrated with the traditional healthcare system’s limitations, they set out to create a more effective and compassionate approach. By prioritizing both patient and provider needs, they aimed to transform lives through movement. Read More About Our Founding Story.

At MovementX, our mission is to help people move their best so they can live their best. We believe that movement is the most important commodity in our lives—it’s how we walk, work, love, play, and live. If you’re empowered with the autonomy, tools, and resources to practice at your best, we can help more people move and live at their best.

Together, we are pursuing a vision of 100 Thrive In ’25—to have over 100 physical therapists thriving in their careers by the end of 2025.

  • 100 speaks to the breadth of how large we envision our community growing. With over 100 providers around the country, we can truly make the positive impact we seek to make on society.
  • Thrive speaks to the depth of how empowered our community feels. To us, thriving is the opposite of burnout. We want all MX providers to feel fired up, confident, fulfilled, and happy.
  • In ’25 gives us a target to aim our efforts. If we can achieve this vision by the end of 2025, what will we be able to accomplish after that? Opportunity abounds.
