physical therapy
We help people in Pasadena stay active, in the gym, and on track with their fitness journey while recovering from pain and injury.
What Do We Do?
We strive to help active adults and athletes in Pasadena overcome injuries and avoid unnecessary surgery by empowering each individual to move, feel, and live better.
Our Goal:
Our primary objective is to keep you in the gym and doing the activities you love all while working through a tailored physical therapy plan for your specific needs.
Injuries Strip You Of Your Identity
When you get injured you’re not only in pain — you can’t do the things that you love. Going to the gym feels like a waste, trying to go for a run just seems to piss your injury off, and your daily walk with the dog is now the last thing you want to do.
You lose your identity when you get hurt. The worst part? You know the doctor is going to suggest “easing off” or “cutting back” or “retiring” altogether — we know that’s just not an option. That’s where Performance Physical Therapy at The Movement Clinic can help.
Your 3 step process:
-
1. Book a Free Phone Consultation
This is the first step! Our top priority is to hear your story. We want to learn about the limitations you’ve been dealing with and how it has been impacting your life and fitness goals.
-
2. Lay Out the Game Plan
We bring you in to our Pasadena clinic for a one hour in-depth assessments looking at your movement, biomechanics, strength, and flexibility to identify the source and contributing factors to your problem! Your PT will lay out a step-by-step game plan to address your pain and limitations.
-
3. Conquer the Problem
Your performance physical therapist works with you side-by-side for your entire plan to ensure you overcome pain and get back to your fitness routine feeling stronger than ever!

“My experience with Jordan has been nothing short of phenomenal. I came to him with chronic pain in my front quad while squatting. It had gotten to the point where, after a set of heavy squats, it felt like I could barely move my leg. I reached out to Jordan, ran a few tests with him, and he got me situated with rehab exercises he felt would be most likely to help. Sure enough, the pain was gone in roughly two weeks. I went on to squat 410lbs for a beltless PR a week back into training normally with absolutely zero pain. He didn't give me any flashy gimmicks, just simple and properly explained rehab protocols. Cannot recommend him enough.”

I had a great experience with Jordan. I came to the clinic with a nagging (18 month) muscular hip issue from my Olympic weightlifting program. It had gotten better but just would not go away. Jordan listened to me and provided a thorough diagnostic targeted at my problem. Together we worked through a program that Jordan identified to help with strengthening and activating the particular muscles. Jordan also provided a small lifestyle/sleeping change. That said, I am happy to report that the hip issue is under control and I am able to continue with my Oly lifting.

Jordan’s passion for patient care, reassuring demeanor, willingness to listen and detailed treatment path have resulted in long term pain relief for me on multiple occasions. His commitment to helping to improve mobility and quality of life is unmatched. I credit my success in overcoming pain/discomfort to Jordan’s efforts implementing his treatment plan. I recommend him to everyone I know.

“I went to see Jordan because of low back pain I was dealing with. We sat down for an evaluation to figure out where the pain stemmed from. He taught me a lot about how to prevent it. Gave me mobility tips and exercises and from that day my back pain has not been an issue. Taking his advise and tips have helped me a lot and have felt better ever since.”

-
Yes, as an out-of-network provider in Pasadena, we provide you with all the necessary paperwork (‘superbills’) that give you the opportunity to submit to your insurance for reimbursement.
-
The care you will receive from our providers is unparalleled to your typical in-network physical therapy experience in Pasadena.
Your PT will never be seeing multiple patients at the same time, pass you off to a volunteer/aide, or have you work through the same ‘cookie-cutter’ exercises week in and week out.
Your entire visit is spent 1:1 with one of our highly specialized Doctors of Physical Therapy where we will clearly outline the root factors contributing to your pain experience and lay out a game plan for a path to recovery.
-
We are problem solvers! You will receive 60 minutes of focused 1 on 1 care at our Pasadena clinic and each visit is with a highly specialized Doctor of Physical Therapy. We take you through our three step process where we listen and learn about your situation, assess your body, and develop a road map to getting you better than you were before your injury.
-
This depends on your specific situation, diagnosis, and goals. In most cases, we have you feeling significant improvement in a matter of 2-3 visits.
We strive to minimize the number of sessions you need by providing you with the tools, education, and understanding of how to recover to be better than you were before needing PT.
Recovering from an injury is never black and white; however, we look to provide you with a road map for your recovery through a customized, collaborative plan with one of our expert clinicians.
-
Physical therapy is a different approach than taking something like a pill or injection. We are looking to address your problem through bodily changes that take dedication, time, and consistency throughout each week.
Between visits, you will be provided a list of exercises via custom video recordings and education on how you can best keep yourself active, moving, and exercising.
All the while, you have the ability to maintain open communication with your PT for any questions or guidance you need between visits.
