We are thrilled to welcome our newest DPT to Optimal Movement!

Andrew grew up just outside of St. Louis in Labadie, MO where he was active with soccer, swimming, golf, and lifting. He has always had a passion for being active and helping people which made physical therapy a great fit for his career.

Andrew attended Missouri State University for both his undergraduate and graduate degrees where he obtained his bachelor's in Exercise and Movement Science and Doctorate of Physical Therapy. After graduating Andrew worked in an outpatient physical therapy setting for general orthopedics, but specialized in performing arts, where he worked with professional dancers, as well as obtaining a TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) certification for golf.

When Andrew is not working you can find him at the gym, golfing, hiking, or hanging out with his wife and dog.

Happy Monday OM Family!

Just wanted to stop in and say THANK YOU to all of you who have supported us and help us continue to grow. We get to do what we love and help people every day, but you can’t help people without the people.

On that note, we are excited to share that starting last Monday, September 8, we rolled out a referral program to say Thank You! So much of those who come find us, do so because of those that have trusted us with their care already. So…we want to show our appreciation.

The program is pretty simple - so take a look below!

1 Referral = Protein with flavor of your choice

3 Referrals = 2 Months gym membership for free, OR an Optimal Movement swag bag valued at $200+

5 Referrals = you get a free visit AND a free evaluation to share with a friend or family member

We then restart the program after every 5 referrals.

Thank you again so much for letting us be a part of your goals, rehab, and living a healthy life…we wouldn’t be here without you!

‼️Final Building Update‼️

This past weekend was a busy one for us at Optimal Movement! Our equipment was delivered, and we started the process of piecing everything together and organizing the facility!

We are extremely grateful for our family and friends as well as Supplement Superstore and 1st Phorm employees for coming out to help! We could not have done this on our own.

The next time you hear from us about a building update, we will be giving you an opening date! We’re so excited to show everyone the finished product!
