Dr. William Schopp PT, DPT, CF-L1, TRS-C, Cert-CMFA

I was born and raised in the South Bay (San Pedro) where I live with my wife, Ashley, and son, Liam. I have always been into sports and fitness from an early age. I started playing hockey and surfing as a youngster then got into Rugby and played Football at Mary Star High School. Now, my sports are the same as the people I work with: Crossfit, golf, surfing, & running.

In high school I decided I wanted to be a psychologist. Then I broke my knee playing football, went to physical therapy, and fell in love (with Physical Therapy).

If you know me, you’ll know when I set my heart on something there is no slowing down. From my Senior year in high school, I started down the health and wellness path starting with personal training, receiving my Bachelor of Science from Long Beach State in Kinesiology, and then receiving my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from St. Augustine in San Diego.

After PT school, I began seeing all of the flaws in our current healthcare world. This is when I decided to open The Movement Schopp, for all of the people who don’t want to fall through the cracks of our healthcare system, who don’t want to be told to stop doing what they love, and are looking for the Performance side of Physical Therapy.

Since then I have done countless post Doctorate courses specializing in the Fitness Athlete, Golf, and Running population which I call the silent sport population.

Thank you for your interest in our amazing team, and we look forward to helping you Build A Better You!

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.) ...
