For People Who Want to Keep Training — Without Pain Holding Them Back.
Performance-based physical therapy for people who train, lift, and want to keep doing it — pain-free.
This Is For You If…
For many active people, pain doesn’t suddenly stop them — it slowly changes how they train, what they avoid, and how confident they feel in their body.
You train regularly, but certain movements keep flaring things up — no matter how careful you try to be
You’ve “finished PT” before, but pain still shows up when you lift, run, or stay active
You want to push yourself physically — without constantly second-guessing your body
You train regularly, but certain movements keep flaring things up — no matter how careful you are
You’ve “finished PT” before, yet pain still shows up when you lift, run, or stay active
You’re tired of being told to rest, stop training, or avoid the things you enjoy
You want to push yourself physically without constantly second-guessing your body
You care about doing things right — not rushing through cookie-cutter rehab
You want answers, a plan, and real progress — not passive treatments
Left unaddressed, this pattern usually doesn’t resolve on its own — it just becomes the new normal…
If this sounds familiar, continuing to push through or hoping it goes away usually isn’t the answer — having a clear plan is.
Services
What We Help You With
Focused care designed to help you move better, train confidently, and stay active long-term.
Reduce Pain & Improve Movement
We address movement limitations, stiffness, and strength gaps that contribute to pain — so it doesn’t limit how you train, load, or move over time.
Break the Cycle of Flare-Ups
Care focuses on building strength, control, and resilience so small aches don’t turn into chronic setbacks every time training volume increases.
Return to Training with Confidence
Rehab bridges the gap between “feeling better” and fully trusting your body under real training demands — not just in the clinic.
Return to High-Level Activity Stronger Than Before
Whether it’s lifting, running, or daily activity, you’ll have a structured plan for progress.
Post-Operative Rehabilitation
Personalized rehab protocols to safely restore strength and mobility after surgery.

Rushed Visits vs. Focused, One-on-One Care
Many people feel rushed through short PT appointments, seeing multiple providers and repeating their story — without ever addressing what actually breaks down during training.
At AdaptivMVMT, every session is one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, allowing time to assess movement, loading, and mechanics that matter for how you train — not just how you feel that day.
Temporary Relief vs. Lasting Progress
A common frustration is pain improving briefly, only to return as soon as training intensity or volume increases.
Care is designed to address the movement and strength limitations that cause pain—so progress holds up outside the clinic.
“Just Rest” Advice vs. Rehab That Supports Training
Many active people are told to stop lifting, stop running, or avoid activity altogether — without a clear plan for how to return safely.
Rehab at AdaptivMVMT is built to support how you train, help you modify, load, and progress intelligently so you can stay active while building confidence instead of fear around movement.
Generic Programs vs. Personalized Plans
Many people receive the same exercises regardless of their goals, sport, or training history.
Every plan here is built around how you move, what you train for, and where breakdowns actually occur — so rehab fits into your life instead of interrupting it.

Framework
The RAMP Method:
A Clear Path to Better Movement
A simple, progressive framework that guides you from pain back to confident training and functional movement.
Recover
Reduce pain and restore movement.
This phase focuses on reducing pain while restoring the movement capacity your body needs to train and move comfortably. We address stiffness, restrictions, and limitations so your body is ready to load again — not just temporarily relief.
Adapt & Move
As pain decreases and movement capacity improves, we progressively load the body with targeted strength and movement work. This phase helps your body adapt to real training demands — not just exercises that feel “safe” in the clinic.
Perform
The final phase bridges rehab to performance. We help you return to lifting, running, sport, or daily activity with confidence — so progress holds up outside the clinic, not just during sessions.

Post-Operative Rehabilitation
Structured, progressive rehab after surgery to restore mobility, strength, and confidence. Care is aligned with your surgical protocol and long-term goals—so recovery supports a true return to activity, not just healing timelines.
Meet the Provider
Meet Dr. Michael Yip
- I work with people who want to keep training, stay active, and move confidently—even when pain or injury keeps getting in the way.
- I’m not just a physical therapist who gives exercises. I train, lift, and stay active myself—and I’ve dealt with injuries, setbacks, and the frustration of trying to keep moving when something never quite feels right. I know what it’s like to modify workouts, push through discomfort, and wonder whether pain is just part of the deal if you want to stay active.
- At AdaptivMVMT, care is built around understanding how your body moves and how you train—not following generic rehab programs or shutting activity down. The goal isn’t to avoid movement. It’s to improve how your body handles it.
- Performance-based physical therapy bridges the gap between rehab and real life. We focus on restoring movement quality, rebuilding strength with intention, and helping your body tolerate the demands you place on it—so progress carries over to your training, your sport, and your everyday movement.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers to common questions about care, sessions, and what working together actually looks like.
How is AdaptivMVMT different from traditional physical therapy?
AdaptivMVMT is an out-of-network physical therapy practice that provides 60-minute, one-on-one sessions with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. This allows time for a more thorough and individualized approach, without rushing through appointments. Instead of treating pain in isolation, we perform a full-body movement evaluation to identify underlying factors such as mobility restrictions, strength imbalances, or inefficient movement patterns. Treatment is then built around correcting the underlying movement factors contributing to the issue so progress lasts beyond the clinic.
What can I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit is a 60-minute, one-on-one evaluation with a Doctor of Physical Therapy focused on understanding how your body moves as a whole—not just where pain is showing up. We’ll review your history, assess movement patterns, strength, and mobility, and identify the factors contributing to your issue. By the end of the session, you’ll have clarity on what’s going on, a recommended plan moving forward, and—if it turns out we’re not the right fit—guidance on where you should go next.
How long are sessions and how often will I need to come in?
All evaluations and follow-up sessions at AdaptivMVMT are 60 minutes and one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. While every plan is individualized, most clients who see the best results typically begin with an 8–12 session plan of care. After your initial evaluation, we’ll recommend a frequency and timeline based on your goals, history, and how your body responds—so expectations are clear from the start.
Do you take insurance?
AdaptivMVMT is an out-of-network physical therapy practice and does not bill insurance directly. This model allows for 60-minute, one-on-one sessions without restrictions on time, treatment approach, or visit limits. Care is built around your goals and progress—not insurance requirements. If you have out-of-network benefits, a superbill can be provided upon request for possible reimbursement, depending on your plan.
Can I use my HSA or FSA to pay for sessions?
Yes. HSA and FSA cards are accepted for physical therapy services that are considered medically necessary, such as care for pain, injury, or post-operative rehabilitation. Services focused purely on performance training, general wellness, or maintenance may not qualify. A superbill can be provided if documentation is needed for reimbursement or record-keeping.
What will I need to do between sessions?
Physical therapy isn’t a passive process. Progress depends on consistency and follow-through between visits.
You’ll be given a personalized home exercise program with clear instructions, videos, and guidance to support what we’re working on in session. Open communication is encouraged so questions can be addressed and adjustments can be made as you progress.
What happens after I complete my plan of care?
Once your initial goals are met, we’ll discuss next steps based on how you’re moving, feeling, and training. Some clients transition out of care, while others choose to continue with a maintenance or performance-focused plan to keep building strength, resilience, and confidence. The goal is always to support long-term progress—not dependency—so your care evolves as your needs and goals change.
What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?
Appointments are reserved specifically for you, so we ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling.
Late cancellations or missed appointments may be charged the cost of a single session, separate from any package rate, as that time could otherwise be offered to another client in need. Thank you for understanding.
Still have questions?
The best way to know if AdaptivMVMT is right for you is a short Discovery Call—no pressure, just clarity around your goals and next steps.
