Physical therapy is a specialized branch of healthcare that focuses on improving and restoring the body's function and mobility. With a range of techniques and treatments, physical therapy offers numerous benefits for individuals of all ages and fitness levels. From managing chronic pain to promoting recovery after surgery or injury, physical therapy has proven to be an essential component of overall wellness and rehabilitation.

We are currently accepting patients in San Luis Obispo and northern Santa Barbara Counties. This includes the following cities: San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach, Shell Beach, Grover Beach, Arroyo Grande, Nipomo, Santa Maria, and Orcutt. If you do not live in one of these areas, please reach out as we may be able to accommodate you.

We are contracted with Medicare Part B. Most patients with Medicare and a secondary insurance have full coverage with no out-of-pocket cost for medically necessary physical therapy.

If you do not have Medicare, we offer self-pay physical therapy and can provide a superbill you may submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.

We also offer a Home Health Wellness Program for patients who want continued support with strength, balance, mobility, or fall prevention outside of skilled PT services. Wellness visits are self-pay and are available even while you are receiving home health nursing or therapy services, when medically appropriate.

If you do not have Medicare, we accept self-pay clients and we will create a “superbill” for submission to your insurance company to help you use your benefits.

Your therapist will provide the necessary equipment to help you recover. However, most people do not heavy equipment in order to achieve their goals.

Our team consists of licensed California physical therapists with advanced professional training. Each clinician holds a graduate degree in physical therapy (Doctorate or Master’s) and provides skilled, individualized care aligned with the highest standards of practice.

Visit times are based on your needs, but most visits will last approximately 45-70 minutes.

MoveBetter Physical Therapy provides 1:1 treatment in your own home. After we perform a comprehensive evaluation, we will create an individualized plan of care to meet your goals.

No referral is needed in California.
For Medicare patients, we simply need a physician-signed plan of care, which we will handle for you.

MoveBetter provides in-home outpatient physical therapy, which is different from home health care. Our services are for anyone who needs physical therapy and prefers the convenience of being seen at home—you do not need to be homebound to receive care from us.

Home health physical therapy, on the other hand, is only available to individuals who meet Medicare’s homebound criteria and are typically recovering from a recent hospitalization, surgery, or significant medical change.

Yes, we communicate with your referring provider as needed. We follow all HIPAA guidelines to ensure your information remains safe and confidential.
