Stop letting shoulder pain hold you back from lifting, CrossFit, golf, or even everyday activities. Our Doctors of Physical Therapy in Torrance specialize in getting everyday athletes like you back to peak performance—without surgery, injections, or being told to “just rest.”
You’re frustrated, in pain, and tired of being told to stop doing what you love. Sound familiar?
You’ve Been Told to “Just Stop Lifting
Your doctor or previous PT told you to quit the gym or CrossFit until the pain goes away. But rest hasn’t worked—and now you’re losing strength and confidence.
The Pain Keeps Coming Back
You’ve tried stretching, icing, and even cortisone shots. The pain goes away temporarily, but it always returns. You’re stuck in a frustrating cycle with no real solution.
You’re Worried It’ll Get Worse
Every overhead press, golf swing, or reach behind your back reminds you something’s wrong. You’re scared that ignoring it will lead to surgery—or permanent damage.
At The Movement Schopp, we don’t tell you to stop training. We specialize in performance physical therapy for everyday athletes in Torrance and the South Bay who refuse to let shoulder pain steal their active lifestyle.

“I have been dealing with shoulder pain due to an impingement for about a year before I found the Movement Schopp. Dr. Tori is awesome! My first visit, Dr. Tori assessed my injury and wrote out a plan to recovery. Every time I visit she creates a new exercise program for each week and always incorporates new exercises. This definitely keeps me more motivated to do my PT exercises. I am half way through the program and I do not have pain anymore. I work in firefighting, so I definitely noticed the pain during everyday job tasks before but now it’s gone! I’m really excited to see the final results when I am finished with the program!”

“I went to Taylor Rarick for shoulder pain, and she quickly identified not only the problem in my shoulder but also other areas that were contributing to it. She is extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely a pleasure to be around. It’s clear that she truly cares about her patients—not only by how well she listens and tailors treatment, but also by the way she provides helpful tips to keep improving even outside of her care. I always leave each session feeling noticeably better than when I walked in.”
— Omari Carter
“Dr. Tori is an exceptional physical therapist! After struggling with persistent shoulder pain, she quickly diagnosed the root cause—and built a strategy with me to heal the injury and then get back to full strength in my HIIT fitness. What truly sets her apart is her holistic approach. As a functional athlete in my late 40s, I appreciated how she treated me, not just my shoulder. She helped me rebuild the mind-body connection I didn’t even realize I was missing. I left every session not only stronger, but more aware, aligned, and empowered in how I move.”
— Verna Grayce Chao
“This place is amazing! From the first call with Will, they gave me hope of getting better. Tori is awesome and shows she cares about getting you back to what you want to do. I thought I was going to live with shoulder pain for the rest of my life and dealt with some PTs that mainly focused on getting me back to work with that same exercises everytime. Every week with Tori is different and fun. I tell everyone that has an ache to try here!”
