Move-Meant Physical Therapy and Wellness, PC
The human body is meant to move. Your experience moving impacts your quality of life. As a Physical Therapy Clinic specialized in Neurologic and Vestibular Rehabilitation, we work with you to optimize and restore quality movement. Physical Therapy can facilitate restoring your movement for feeding, bathing, dressing, hygiene, repositioning in bed, balancing in sitting/standing, transferring out of bed or chairs, standing, walking, returning to sport and leisure, and accessing your community for social, family, or work events. We meet where your movement matters: at your home or in your community. We take the blinders off and incorporate vision, vestibular, sensation, motor, nerves, brain processing, motivation, and mental well-being to support your recovery. Move in a meaningful way, where it matters, to restore your confidence and ability.

Virtual Reality in Rehabilitation
Move-Meant Physical Therapy and Wellness, PC is founded on a journey of refining neurologic and vestibular) physical therapy skills in private outpatient clinics, community centers, hospital-based outpatient clinics, hospital care, and home care. We apply these skill-sets where it matters most to clients, in their home and community, while restoring confidence in the body as it's own piece of equipment to heal and rehabilitate.
As a cash-based practice, we work together at the convenience of your time, space, and preferred approach. Quality is when you need it, where you need it, and on your terms. You may have a contract with an insurance company. Move-Meant Physical Therapy and Wellness's contract is directly with you. We can provide a superbill to support your reimbursement between you and your insurance provider.
Foundational Approach
A 14-year career in traditional health care settings lended Rebecca's ears to voices of clients sharing the ability to perform a task in a structured therapy clinic, but not having the confidence to translate the movement into their own space. This motivated Rebecca to establish Move-Meant Physical Therapy and Wellness, PC. Instead of you coming to a clinic, the skills and clinician come to you. We meet you where you move every day, where it matters most, and where we can take down the barriers and build your confidence.
Move-Meant Physical Therapy and Wellness values the expertise a board-certified specialist in neurologic physical therapy provides and can build on traditional physical therapy approaches with a passion for out-of-the-box brainstorming and applying techniques to break the mold and make your movement goals achievable. We approach treatment through the lens of the whole person, not just the physical body, maintaining empathy and compassion at the forefront of your care.
Founder, Rebecca York, PT, DPT, earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) degree from the University of Southern California, in 2009, after earning her Bachelors in Movement Science from the University of Michigan, in 2006. Go Blue! Rebecca continued to advance her skill-set with certifications as a Vestibular specialist in 2010 and Board-Certified Clinical Specialist in Neurologic Physical Therapy in 2017. She studied and earned specialty certifications in Parkinson's Disease rehabilitation (LSVT BIG and PWR!) and application of Virtual Reality in the Rehabilitation space. She currently serves in an Adjunct Faculty position at USC within the DPT curriculum.
When not hard at work for your goals, she can be found in the Eastern Sierras or Wasatch mountain ranges hiking, camping, skiing, snowboarding, running, and biking. While in the OC, I add swimming and yoga to the mix. She balances work and exercise by enjoying cooking, reading, and gathering friends and family for quality time.
Services
Physical Therapy
Did life take a turn you were not planning on? We conduct a physical therapy evaluation and identify the body structure impairments that are getting in your way. We take baseline measurements and design a treatment plan to address these impairments and carry-over the gains to your meaningful movements: sport-specific or task-specific activity. A key to long-term success is carrying over strength, coordination, and flexibility to your every day movements to maximize recovery and minimize re-injury or secondary injuries. Sessions are, typically, 60 minutes, in-person or tele-health.
Wellness
Are you interested in being pro-active in your physical health and mobility? Are you utilizing your insurance benefit in a traditional physical therapy setting and are looking for complimentary and specific care? Let's review your different systems: heart, lungs, vasculature, skin, muscles, joints, nerves, gastrointestinal, mental and emotional, and build a training plan to maximize your mobility, protect your systems from breaking down, and support a long-term behavioral change to keep you engaged in your roles. Sessions are, typically, 60 minutes in-person or tele-health.
Coaching
Are you looking for some one to brainstorm how to make that behavioral change successful? Accountability with a coach helps you walk your path with less tangential routes. Let's hear your stressors, perceived barriers, and unsuccessful patterns to change a behavior that isn't serving you. We can dive deep or stay more accountability-based with variable time lengths and settings: telephone, video-chat, or in-person.
