MovementX – Physical Therapy in Irvine

Chris is an amazing therapist. He takes the time to listen to your concerns as well as takes into consideration your lifestyle in making recommendations for movements/adjustments/etc to work on outside of your appointments. His space is calming to be in and well taken care of. Chris is extremely knowledgeable and able to explain everything in a clear and concise manner. He has all the tools (and more) to help you reach your physical movement goals. I always feel so much better after seeing Chris for my sessions.

Chris did an outstanding job assessing my pain and treating it. I always have mild back pain, but it had become a sharp and almost unbearable pain. He used a variety of techniques to treat it, and also told me what exercises and stretches to so at home. In addition, he gave me modifications to do at the gym to help prevent this from happening again.

Dr. Marie Fernandez is a very knowledgeable and compassionate physical therapist. From the moment she stepped foot into my home, she made me feel comfortable and excited to have her treat me. I was suffering from hip pain after squatting in a powerlifting competition so I haven’t squatted since. She made me feel empowered and gave me the knowledge on hip exercises to do to get back to what I love doing. I appreciate that Dr. Fernandez taking the time to educate me on my hip injury and to avoid it in the future!! I’ve been to outpatient physical therapy clinics before and I prefer this 1 on 1 type of customized patient care. If you are needing any kind of physical therapy treatment, please go to Dr. Marie Fernandez!! I can’t wait to rehab and recover to compete in another competition again!

My therapist Jessica was wonderful. I had rotator cuff surgery and after 4 months I was at a very critical point to really need an increase in range of motion and strength building in muscles that had significant atrophy. This is very common with this type of injury. She was able to dramatically speed up my recovery with deep tissue release, great excercises that increased strength and movement. She took a thoughtful approach to my regiment that I had started at the Mayo Clinic. Best part was her flexibility on scheduling me. I travel extensively and was in The OC for 5 weeks. This is like Uber for PT. They come to you or have a great facility to visit should you choose to go there. Thx Jessica arm is doing great and getting stronger every day. DP. Phoenix Az

Can’t say enough about movement x but mainly my PT Chris M. This guys has a doctorate in the human anatomy, sports conditioning and eveything that has to do with recovery. I’ve had a torn acl for ten years and had surgery on it twice. The pain after this last surgery was something my PT’s couldn’t even figure out ands when k started going to Chris he immediately pinpointed my issues. Slowly the pain has been going down. My mobility and flexibility have all skyrocketed. For the first time in 15 years I’m now able to sit with criss crossed legs on the floor with my kids. Totally worth every penny. Cherry on top is he’s a huge sports fan and our hour session goes by super quick chatting it up.

I saw Dr. Marie because of some pain in my hip. She is so friendly, personable and knowledgeable. She assessed my hip alignment and provided me with various stretches and techniques to alleviate the pain. I'm happy to report I am now pain free in my hip! Would definitely recommend her 👍

My session with Chris was awesome! I learned a lot about my discomfort and mobility challenges. I’m really glad to know that with exercise and additional sessions with Chris, I can definitely improve.
