Dr. Taylor Rarick

Hi everyone! I was born and raised in Oregon, and came to California about 7 years ago for college. Throughout my youth and highschool years, I competed in various sports such as basketball, soccer, baseball & softball, track, and cross country.I received my Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from Westmont College in Santa Barbara. I was blessed to receive an athletic scholarship to compete on their women’s basketball team, where we won a national championship my senior year!

During my time at Westmont, I was heavily involved in the athletic training room as well as in youth sports in the community. I had many health related impairments in this period of my life which allowed me to spend ample time with our physical therapists. This is where I found my love for the profession and realized that the amount of time you can spend with the patient and the deep and rich relationship that you can create cannot not be found in many other professions.

After graduation, I went straight into pursuing my Doctorate of Physical Therapy at the University of Southern California. Due to my vast background and pure love for sports, I spent the majority of my clinicals in outpatient, sports-related clinics, and worked hard to receive my credentials as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist in addition to my physical therapy degree.

I find great joy in playing sports of any kind and working with athletes of all kinds, getting to know their passions, what motivates them, and ultimately working together to optimize their performance at a level they have never reached before. I have recently planted my roots in the South Bay and am looking forward to ingraining myself in the community. If you are a runner, functional fitness athlete, golfer, youth athlete, or competitor of any kind, I am confident that we can work together to reach your goals!

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.) ...
