MoveWell Physical Therapy - Cypress, California

From the moment I walked in, the administrative staff was welcoming, professional, and attentive. There wasn't a day where Laura, Delaney, Christy, and Kristen checked in and asked how I was doing even before my actual session. They were kind and genuinely cared about their patients, so to me, these small interactions helped brighten my day while I was going through a difficult time with my pain the past 8 months.

The physical therapists are extremely knowledgeable and take the time to thoroughly explain each step of the recovery process. Even working with PT student interns was great because the physical therapists were great at teaching and guiding them to guide us patients. I had the honor of working with Stephanie Yahiro. She developed a personalized treatment plan for me that addressed my pain, helped me regain strength and mobility, and improved my wellbeing. She met me where I was at during every session and adjusted the exercises accordingly. She took great care of me and I’ve made incredible progress thanks to her expertise, patience, and guidance. My confidence in the beginning was low and I was always in pain. Progress felt slow and daunting and some days my motivation wasn't there, but having an encouraging and attentive physical therapist like Stephanie increased my motivation in and out of the clinic, especially as I felt myself getting stronger with each passing month. I'm stronger and more confident in my physical ability and I thank Stephanie for being with me through every step of the way, literally.

The clinic is clean, well-equipped, and has a comfortable atmosphere that makes every session enjoyable.

Thank you again for everything, and respectfully, I hope I don't have to come here any time soon (aka no injuries and pain)!

I'm a very active surfer who has dealt with ongoing shoulder dislocation issues for several years. This past winter I ended up in the hospital after dislocating my shoulder. Not wanting surgery, I decided to turn to physical therapy and can without a doubt say that I made the right choice with MoveWell, and specifically Karen Wakamoto.

The facility is well-kept and efficient, and all of the staff are attentive and friendly.

Karen was able to help me not only get back to full strength, but also address a litany of other bodily imbalances and improper muscle engagements that have made me significantly healthier overall and will protect me from any back or hip issues I likely would have faced later in life. It's hard to imagine anyone being more well-versed in DNS and kinesthetics than she is, and I really wouldn't want anyone else to be my physical therapist.

On a personal level, Karen is one of the most genuinely caring, empathetic and kind people I've ever met, and I can't thank her enough for what she has been able to do for me. I doubt I'll ever have to deal with shoulder issues again, but I'll certainly be back here if I do.

I have been working with Stephanie for foot/ankle and sciatica issues. The best thing about working with Stephanie is that she is a good listener. On my first appointment she took a comprehensive history and conducted a thorough physical exam of my back, legs and feet. Her treatment, exercises and overall plan for me have been individualized to me and I am happy to report that I am back to running and my body is feeling better than it has in almost two years. Stephanie understands my short term and my long term goals so my plan is tailored specifically to my personal physical issues. She not only provides excellent treatment during my appointment but provides the specific exercises and tips I need to continue working on my own between appointments.
Also, the staff are kind and the atmosphere in the facility is calm and friendly. The facility is very clean and organized. There is always plenty of available parking. I am always greeted by name and with a genuine smile. I thank my lucky stars I found MoveWell PT and especially Stephanie.

I recently had arthroscopic knee surgery for meniscus repair and needed PT for my recovery process. Karen, who saw me 6 yrs ago and helped me to avoid the surgery at that time, was the only person I considered for my PT and recovery from surgery. Karen and her team, in particular Emily worked with me on an individualized program with emphasis on range of motion, strength and flexibility exercises to help me get back to playing golf in 8 weeks. I appreciated the personal attention given from Emily and would highly recommend her if you’re looking for that special treatment for Physical Therapy. No doubt, da best!!

After my total knee replacement surgery, had physical therapy with Stephanie. She is amazing, very professional, kind and knows what to do to improve my range of motion. On my second month after surgery, my knee feels great!
This facility is super clean, the whole staff are friendly and dedicated. I am truly blessed to be treated at Movewell Physical Therapy!!!

Michael was my Physical Therapist. I only worked with him and was never handed off to an aide or “assistant.” Michael put together a plan than increased my strength and decreased my pain. My reason for physical therapy was lumber spinal stenosis. Michael helped me increase my strength prior to spine surgery. Great place! Highly recommend!
