Physical Therapy and Wellness
Individualized Physical Therapy For Women
OUR MISSION
At Built to Move, we help women feel strong, confident, and at home in their bodies through personalized pelvic floor and orthopedic physical therapy. Our mission is to support women through every stage of life with thoughtful, 1 on 1 care that improves movement, reduces pain, and builds lasting strength.
We take the time to truly listen to your story, your concerns, and your goals so we’re not just treating symptoms, but addressing the root cause of pain or dysfunction and helping prevent it from coming back.
This is more than physical therapy. It’s about helping you trust your body again, move with confidence, and get back to the activities you love.

It’s common for patients to progress to Hybrid Rehab from in-person care as they improve, or to start here if you prefer fewer in-person visits while still receiving expert guidance. This option is perfect if you want personalized support that fits your busy schedule.
WHO IT'S FOR
- Your usual workouts are no longer feasible and modifying it yourself feels overwhelming and stressful
- You want expert guidance but can’t commit to frequent in-person visits—or maybe you’re ready to transition from hands-on care to more independent progress
- You worry about staying consistent and doing exercises correctly without someone watching your form and keeping you on track
- You’re done feeling stuck, confused, or like you’re guessing your way through recovery or training.
- You feel anxious about how you are feeling and concerned about your long term health
- You want a flexible program that fits your busy life—combining expert hands-on care when you need it, with ongoing coaching and support you can access anytime.
WHO IT'S FOR
- You want to get stronger and stay healthy for the long haul—but your busy life makes it hard to stay consistent.
- Maybe you’re nervous about hurting yourself or making existing aches worse, so you hold back instead of pushing forward.
- You’re done wasting time and money on programs that don’t fit YOU
- You want real accountability, a plan built specifically for your body and goals, and someone who knows how to keep you safe and progressing.
We start with a full-body assessment to understand your movement patterns, strength, mobility, and any pain or symptoms you're experiencing that’s holding you back. This helps us create a personalized plan that actually fits your goals—no cookie-cutter approaches here.
We lay the foundation with proper breathing mechanics and core coordination. This is especially important postpartum or for anyone with pelvic floor dysfunction, back pain, or diastasis recti.
We target areas of tightness or weakness to help you move better and reduce compensations. Whether it's hip, pelvic, or spinal mobility, this stage is about building a strong and supportive foundation.
