I’ve been a client at MTM for going on 3 years. I started in their hybrid program and worked with Corey and Nick. I was incredibly weak and in chronic pain for 4+ years following a failed Kidner procedure— MTM was my Hail Mary before considering surgical fusions in my foot. I am SO glad I came here first. I gained enough strength to transition to the Move and Perform (MVP) program after 6 months. I never thought I’d become someone who loves exercise, let alone lifting, but they’ve converted me. I am doing movements and built endurance I never thought I’d have again. I’m approaching 30 years old and I’m the strongest and most active I’ve been since my teens! I rarely have to say “no” to physical activities— it’s truly such a blessing. I’m incredibly thankful to my trainer Kris Bittel who continues to push me to my full potential. The trainers are highly capable, attentive, and dedicated to encouraging you to your best self. I love the group MVP classes and the friends I’ve made in the classes— they make working out something to look forward to on a daily basis.

This place is exactly what I was in the market for. Equal parts physical therapy and personal training. Pretty safe to assume my lack of knowledge before taking a few sessions with Ian is what landed me in physical therapy in the first place lol. I highly recommend this spot not only if you need help diagnosing a bum knee, but also if you could use a little guidance and encouragement in your fitness journey. Everyone is super nice and knowledgeable. As previously mentioned, I worked with Ian. He provided me with super helpful in person training as well as a comprehensive at home workout routine. The routine was set up through the more than movement app that had instructional videos, and just generally helped me stay accountable. I highly recommend this place!

I can’t say enough good things about Corey and the team at More Than Movement. As a regular runner, I developed a stress injury in my ankle and spent a little over a month in a boot. After finishing physical therapy at home, I was able to walk again, but jumping, jogging, and running were still painful. Corey put together a combination of in-person sessions and at-home workouts that steadily strengthened my ankle and significantly improved my running ability. He adjusted the exercises as needed to keep me progressing and was great at explaining the biomechanics behind each movement. My ankle feels so much better now, and I’m back to running consistently. I’m really grateful for the support and would highly recommend Corey to anyone looking to recover, get stronger, and move better.

This is a long overdue review, but I am so glad I found More Than Movement. Malti was amazing to work with and gave me the confidence to move my body again without fear after years of being inactive due to various injuries and pains. Highly recommended them to anyone looking to get moving again!

I just want to say my journey has been long four low back surgeries and cervical fusion in my neck. I had done PT before, but when I stopped of course pain and weakness was back. My son who is now a PT, but is a traveling therapist recommended I go to More Than Movement and see Nick. I live in South Jersey so I was really not wanting to travel over the bridge to Philly!!! I’m so glad I did, I have been suffering with nerve damage and severe pain in my left ankle along with a partially numb foot. Working with Nick was a whole different experience on PT! The one on one and gradual buildup on strength training was key, I needed to get stronger. I can’t THANK Nick enough for pushing me (in a good way)and showing me what I was capable of doing! My ankle feels so much better and I’m stronger all around. I will always highly recommend More Than Movement!

I worked with Corey Richards as a first time PT experience and am shocked how much improvement I made over the few months we worked together. I came to Corey with hip pain occurring for several days after running in preparation for the Philadelphia Half Marathon. I am new to running, but Corey quickly developed a training plan based on his assessment of my hip pain, and he guided me through new movement patterns in all our 1-1 sessions together. We worked through a variety of exercises, and Corey’s feedback always was easy to implement in real time. When necessary, Corey tailored the programming to my symptoms, and I often saw improvement in just a couple weeks after implementing adjustments. After a couple months working together, I accomplished my goal of running the Philly Half (my first race ever), pain free. I now get to work with Corey on a wide range of movements for leg strength and mobility as I continue running, lifting and snowboarding. I have never felt better physically and been more fit with the help of Corey’s expert PT service.
