The Movement Schopp - Torrance - Torrance, California

If you’re looking for physical therapy results that can get you back out to the very physical world then The Movement Shoppe is a great place. Mac and her wonderful personality was the beginning of my journey there and William was the next to make me feel welcome and explained exactly what to expect. I had broken my lower back and after a period of time after surgery I was told from my doctor I could start rehab.
Dr Daniel has taken great care of me with a knowledgable understanding and explanation of how to strengthen around my injury so I can return to my active life and be in even better shape than before and we have fun too. He makes sure I understand what we did in each session so I can repeat it at home which has allowed me to heal at a great pace!
Thank you to a great team!

Four weeks ago, I experienced a significant calf strain. My calf “popped” and it felt like somebody had shot me in the back of the leg. I immediately scheduled an appointment with a surgeon to figure out next steps. Thankfully, my uncle, who is a doctor that specializes in sports medicine, suggested I go to physical therapy at The Movement Schopp in Torrance.

Within minutes of calling The Movement Schopp… Mak, their patient success director, connected me to Dr. Ricky Braun, a performance physical therapist. After sharing my calf injury story with Dr. Braun, he scheduled me for an appointment with Dr. Daniel Ignatius the next morning at 7:45am.

Shortly after seeing Dr. Ignatius, he brought immediate relief to my body and my mind. Being a basketball player, Dr. Ignatius had previously experienced similar calf injuries. That said, Dr. Ignatius started therapy on my calf and he assured me that surgery was not needed. (FYI, Dr. Ignatius was absolutely correct. My orthopedic surgeon confirmed Dr. Ignatius’ belief that my calf strain would not need an operation -- only physical therapy.)

It is now four weeks after my original injury. I have seen Dr. Ignatius four times. Each time, Dr. Ignatius uses various treatments on my calf to relieve muscle tightness and soreness. Then, Dr. Ignatius shares several exercises to rehab my calf at home.

Here’s the great news… Four weeks later, I am exercising again (walking, bike, weightlifting, etc.) and I have no pain. I am blown away by the extraordinary improvement in my calf. I can even stand on my tippy toes again (see picture).

There are no words for the thankfulness and gratitude I have for The Movement Schopp and Dr. Ignatius. Fyi, I had never been to physical therapy before. So, I didn’t really know what to expect. From the initial call to this moment, the entire experience has been seamless and fun.

I highly recommend The Movement Schopp to anyone considering physical therapy.

Knowledgeable, Personable and extremely good at what they do.

I received an extremely warm welcome into The Movement Schopp by William and Ricky.

The physical screen was huge learning experience for me; Ricky diagnosed an issue with my shoulder and took very detailed care in explaining and teaching the information. You just know you are in safe hands in there. The after service provided is just as diligent, I'm looking forward to doing the prescribed homework and returning!

I highly recommend The Movement Schopp - Torrance!! Every employee is extremely welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable!! I worked with Dr. Ricky Braun twice a month for lower back pain. He was energetic, professional, informative, and super easy to get along with. He provided applicable and useful home exercises to carry over into my daily routines. Whenever I came with a problem such as pain with everyday activities (squatting to clean up around the house, reaching for items on the ground, etc), he would have be replicate the movement to figure out the underlying cause. Before The Movement Schopp, I had ongoing back pain for about a year and a half. This was the only clinic that looked at the entire picture to help ease my pain and I am pain free after about 6 months. Again I highly recommend The Movement Schopp since the staff, quality of treatment sessions, and individualized home exercises make it worth your time, effort, and money!!

I can’t recommend the Movement Schopp enough! I came to them with persistent running injuries just a few months before my half marathon, and they worked wonders. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my recovery. Tori developed a personalized plan that not only helped me recover but also improved my running form. Thanks to their support, and an especially big thanks to my PT Tori, I was able to complete my half marathon feeling stronger than ever. If you’re looking for a place that truly cares about your progress and well-being, this is it! Thank you Schopp team!

Dr. Daniel was imperative to my shoulder rehab and transformed my recovery journey! He is supportive, attentive, and passionate about getting you back on track to meet your goals. Dr. Daniel thoroughly assessed my condition, crafting a personalized treatment plan that not only addressed my specific needs but also educated me about movement patterns and the healing process. Each session was a perfect balance of challenge and support, as he guided me through a variety of exercises and techniques tailored to strengthen my muscles and improve my mobility.

I genuinely looked forward to my appointments, knowing that I was in such capable hands! The progress I made under Dr. Daniel’s guidance was remarkable; I am incredibly grateful for the support I received, and I can confidently say that he played a pivotal role in my recovery.

I decided to check out The Movement Schopp after attending one of their free workshops at Torrance Training Lab.

I had a phone consultation with William and worked with Kristen at first and then Tori for most of my program. I had the goal of gaining mobility and strength because I’m getting lazier and weaker in my older age.

All of the them were very friendly and extremely knowledgeable and helpful with educating me on the process and incorporating exercises that enhanced my running and pickleball activities.

When I experienced knee pain from pickleball, Tori helped me work through it and fully recover without having to completely stop playing. She gently pushed me in the sessions and always encouraged me with my progress even when I wasn’t so good about doing my exercise at home!

I feel way better physically and more confident and motivated with staying healthy through a solid exercise program. Thank you Tori and team for all of your expertise, support and encouragement!
