MovementX — Physical Therapy in Orange County

Overall, my experience with MovementX has been exceptional. Unlike other physical therapy sessions I have had, Derek is incredibly patient and knowledgeable in his field. He takes the time to thoroughly understand my pain, both current and previous, and ensures that every exercise and movement we do is correct and targeted towards the specific part of my body. I am grateful for their cooperation and understanding, and I highly recommend MovementX to anyone in need of physical therapy.

I was pleasantly surprised with Derek’s overall knowledge and diagnosing the hamstring discomfort I’ve experienced for six years. His preparation before and the variety of exercises has proven successful by the immediate response and improvement. My body feels stronger and am gaining confidence in my balance and strength, even though I’m about to reach my 71st birthday.

I've had a few sessions with Derek Garza to help alleviate some pretty bad neck pain that stemmed from overhead pressing. Derek has helped me tremendously to alleviate my pain, and get back to working out. His prescribed exercises have made a huge difference, and he pays extreme attention to what you say and how you feel. The thing I've enjoyed most about Derek is that he explains the why behind everything. You can tell he truly cares about getting you back to where you were pre-injury. I could not recommend him enough!

Chris is the best Therapist ever. He and his partner Jesica have brought me from non movement in my legs to now walking with a walker. They also motivate and give you tremendous confidence and encouragement. They are simply the very best!!!!!!

Dr John has given me the personalized physical therapy exercises and coaching I was looking for. His assessment of my mobility issues gave me insight into what I was dealing with that I could not get on my own. He gave me an experience of being seen and heard and empowered in my recovery journey.

Chris is seriously awesome at physical therapy! I started seeing him for a knee issue. He totally gets how the body works and crafts personalized treatment plans. He is super attentive, always listening carefully and making you feel heard. And talk about pro vibes – Chris is as pro as they come, making you feel totally comfortable and taken care of.

Dr. Marie Fernandez is amazing and an extremely personable provider. She was able to accommodate me into her schedule with the sciatic pain I was experiencing for the first time. As a parent, feeling this type of acute pain really scared me especially with how limited I felt with caring for my daughter. Marie took the time to listen and treat my symptoms by integrating Cupping and Stretches. I have used other Physical Therapy Companies before for pain but nothing compares to the treatment I received by her with MovementX. It also being my first time experiencing Cupping, she prioritized my safety and comfort by explaining everything to me. Happy to share how pain free I am feeling just before my daughter’s birthday party. I highly recommend Marie Fernandez, PT, DPT. You won’t be disappointed!

I had the pleasure of working with Marie this past week and she is truly the best at what she does! She started off by listening to my concerns, performed a thorough assessment, and then treated my problem areas accordingly. My main concerns were achy pain and major stiffness in the neck/shoulder/upper back due to a recent car accident and YEARS of stress and sitting in front of a computer. Now my neck/back feel incredible and I feel a huge difference. Event my posture has improved as a result! She always made sure I was comfortable throughout our session and educated me on my body and the procedures. I love her approach to PT as she incorporates mindfulness and movement with cup therapy. Marie is so knowledgeable and anyone would be so lucky to have her as their PT! Thank you again Marie! You're a god-send (: Keep up the great work!
