Dr. Daniel Ignatius, PT, DPT, CSCS

I was raised along the OC/LA county border in Cerritos and Seal Beach. I grew up as a child who loved to play outdoors, cycling through sports year round. I have played basketball for as long as I can remember, was a volleyball player throughout high school, and now enjoy recreational golf. I also have a passion for strength and conditioning and am a certified specialist in the field.

I attended California State University, Fullerton and received my B.S. in Kinesiology with a concentration in Clinical Sciences followed by the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences in San Marcos for my Doctorate of Physical Therapy. I decided I wanted to become a physical therapist when I recognized the power of knowledge when it came to the human body. I wanted to be able to educate others on how to take control of their own health and improve their quality of life; this along with my passion for athletics and performance brought me to where I am now.

I began my career working in a general outpatient orthopedic office and have experience working with a variety of diagnoses, surgeries, and types of people. I use soft tissue and joint mobilization techniques, neuromuscular reeducation, and functional exercise in my treatments. I love teaching while I treat, so that my patients can learn the reasons why I do things and use the rationales for the rest of their lives.

In my free time, I love going to live music events, trivia nights, playing sports, checking out new restaurants, breweries, and cafes, attempting new hobbies, and spending time with my close family and friends. I’m looking forward to meeting you all and helping you be your best possible self!

Clients feedback

The team at the Movement Schopp offers high quality physical therapy catered to your specific need and I've had the privilege to work with Dr. Taylor. I'm a runner and I've had multiple injuries in the past as well as a recent calf strain so I wanted to recover, assess my weaknesses, and improve so that I can pursue running for the long haul. I've gone through four weeks of therapy now and I've made huge strides in recovery and running performance all thanks to Dr. Taylor who carefully analyzes my progress...

The Movement Schopp is awesome. My initial running assessment with Dr. Krysia was very informative and helped identify some causes for my knee pain. More recently, Dr. Taylor has helped me work through some rib and back injuries. The rest of the team is very friendly and professional and the office itself is a welcoming and engaging environment. Since joining the Movement Schopp, I both feel better physically and have a more informed understanding on how to maintain and prolong my active lifestyle.

Been dealing with sciatica-like pain for years. Prior to The Movement Schopp, I was seeing chiropractors for deep-tissue muscle release and adjustment therapies, which helped with pain but never completely took the pain in my lower back or down my leg away. Dr. Taylor Rarick in The Movement Schopp has helped with the pain through muscle releases, midline organization, and a variety of core and lower body strengthening exercises. She's formulated an excellent program personally tailored ...

Dr. Tori was incredible. She treated my chronically painful shoulder, and together, we developed a focused plan that helped me achieve my goals. Dr. Tori is highly skilled and has an excellent bedside manner. Thanks to her, I’m working out like never before. The Movement Schopp has a fantastic culture with many knowledgeable practitioners. Mak at the front desk always took care of all my needs. I love this place!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The wonderful Dr Tori is helping me regain movement in my shoulder (frozen shoulder). The one hour of focused attention with Dr. Tori goes by very fast even for this person with ADD! I appreciate her expertise and constant patience and low-key style. I have regained so much movement that I am able to use my arm for everything I need, which was the goal. (Mind you, this has been frozen for well over a year.) ...
