Get back to running, lifting, and the activities you love—without being told to rest or stop. Personalized 1-on-1 treatment for everyday athletes in the South Bay.
You’ve tried rest, ice, and generic stretches—but nothing addresses the real problem. You deserve better than cookie-cutter treatment.
Your hip pain has been slowing you down for months or even years. You’ve tried everything, but nothing seems to fix the root cause of your discomfort.
Traditional doctors and therapists tell you to rest, ice, or quit running, lifting, and the activities that define you—but that’s just not an option.
You’re given cookie-cutter exercises with minimal explanation, no personalized plan, and no real path to getting back to peak performance.
The Movement Schopp was created for everyday athletes who refuse to accept limitations. We help you fix hip pain, prevent future injuries, and move better—without taking time off from what you love.
We take time to understand your goals, movement patterns, and the activities you love. Through a comprehensive 75-minute evaluation, we identify exactly what’s causing your pain—not just where it hurts.
No cookie-cutter exercises here. We develop a targeted treatment plan specific to your body, your sport, and your goals. Every session is one-on-one with the same Doctor of Physical Therapy.
We don’t just eliminate your pain—we optimize your movement, strengthen your weaknesses, and give you the tools to prevent future injuries. Return to running, lifting, golfing, or whatever you love, stronger than before.
Whether you’re dealing with a sports injury or chronic pain, we specialize in getting you back to action.

“Physical fitness and the ability to keep mobile impacts not just physical health, but also mental health and cognitive ability. Which is why I cannot thank Dr. Tori and The Movement Schopp enough for helping me regain my physical fitness and my confidence in my health moving forward. What drew me to The Movement Schopp was also what kept me returning – individualized one-on-one sessions where I would come out pain free and with the tools to combat my muscle imbalances and weaknesses.”

“The Movement Schopp is great! I’ve been working with Ricky for a few months now. I originally came in to deal with a back injury from a fall during hiking. He was able to address the initial injury and get me back to golfing within a week. The entire team is welcoming, friendly and supportive, and it’s such a positive environment. I highly recommend The Movement Schopp to anyone who’s active and wants to get stronger without pain!“

“I had an excellent experience working with Tori, at Movement Schopp, for a shoulder muscle impingement. She was knowledgeable, attentive, and took the time to explain each exercise and the purpose behind it. Thanks to their guidance, my pain is gone and my shoulder strength and mobility significantly increased. The whole staff was supportive and great to work with.“

Common questions about our approach and services
No referral is needed! California allows direct access to physical therapy, so you can schedule your evaluation directly with us. We’ll work with your insurance if you have coverage, but you’re welcome to start treatment right away.
Your first visit is a comprehensive 75-minute evaluation where we identify the root cause of your hip pain and begin treatment. Follow-up sessions are full one-hour appointments, one-on-one with your Doctor of Physical Therapy. The number of sessions varies based on your specific condition and goals, but we’ll create a clear treatment timeline during your first visit.
We never tell you to ‘just rest’ or stop doing what you love. Every session is a full hour of personalized attention from the same Doctor of Physical Therapy—no assistants, no rushed 15-minute appointments. We focus on performance optimization, not just pain relief, so you come back stronger than before. Our approach is specifically designed for everyday athletes who want to keep training while recovering.
Absolutely! That’s our specialty. We’ll modify your training as needed, but we work with you to maintain your fitness and activity level throughout treatment. Whether you’re a runner, CrossFit athlete, golfer, or gym enthusiast, we create personalized plans that keep you moving safely while addressing the root cause of your pain.
Wear comfortable athletic clothing that allows us to see and assess your hip movement—shorts or athletic leggings work best. Bring your athletic shoes if your hip pain occurs during specific activities like running or lifting. We want to see you move the way you normally do during your sport or workout.
We work with many insurance plans and can verify your coverage. We also offer self-pay options for those who prefer not to use insurance. Contact our team at (310) 751-0635 or team@themovementschopp.com to discuss your specific situation and pricing options.
