MOVEMENT IS MEDICINE PHYSICAL THERAPY.
““My daughter works with Amanda on many different areas of strength training and increasing her flexibility for dance. I have noticed a distinct, positive change in her abilities and I think this is th ebest invesment we have made in helping our daughter be the best dancer she can be. I highly recommend Movement is Medicine for anyone who has areas of dance they want to work on strengthening or improving, or if they suffer from any dance affiliated injuries that would benefit from therapy.”

““I cannot emphasize enough the importance and quality of the services Amanda and Marc are providing to dancers of the Hampton Roads area! The passion they have to excel in delivering top quality care both in terms of Rehabilitation and Preventative Therapy is crucial in minimizing injuries and maximizing recovery in a population that so frequently pushes itself to extremes. With the help of Amanda and Marc, many aspiring and current dancers will be able to push forward with their dreams and goals and reach their fullest potential! Movement is Medicine is doing what so many other therapy places should be doing by addressing deficits in the athlete BEFORE the injury occurs to maximize their ability to carry on doing what they love!”
