Wellness Physical Therapy
Wellness physical therapy means you are in control of your goals and outcomes. With traditional physical therapy, insurance companies often defines treatment options and duration of treatment. They say when you’re done, even if you want to keep going.
In wellness physical therapy, your goals are at the center of our work together.
In addition, your strength and muscle mass has a huge impact on the quality of your aging, including optimized metabolism, balance, and sense of vitality. If you’d like to optimize your elder years, strength is a key component and we’re here to help.

Wellness-Focused Physical Therapy
Wellness-focused physical therapy is focused on serving people as a whole person, and not just a body part.
Wellness-focused physical therapy focuses on using movement to enhance strength, fitness, posture, confidence, balance, and, perhaps most importantly, fun! This philosophy of movement is designed to increase your confidence in daily life and open doors for new adventures.
Our Goal for You
Our goal for all our clients is for you “make friends” with your body, as well as movement and activity so you can be the confident, thriving, and vital person you deserve to be.
Insurance-Free Zone
In order to deliver the highest possible level of care to our clients, we do not work with insurance companies. However, we’re happy to work in coordination with therapists and services covered by Insurance for optimal outcomes.
Where Do We Work?
We come to you!
During our first visit, you can expect an in-depth assessment, discussion of your health, and goals. From there, we’ll come up with a plan for how we’ll work together and some exercises or activities to work on between sessions. In home sessions are available in the Reno/Sparks area in northern Nevada.
Online Services
We can provide online services, depending on the safety of you doing exercises alone or with a caregiver in person. We can do a lot together over the internet, including a discussion of your current situation, goals for your health and your future, and support and guidance during your sessions. We can also instruct your caregivers on how to best support you in your health goals between and during sessions.

By all means, use your insurance to the fullest of its potential and then come to Move Mountains Wellness for your next steps in claiming your vitality.
