My experience at Movewell with Anthony. To put it simply, he knows his stuff. With a quick description of where my pain was coming from. He explained & showed me the correct moves. To make. And then bam! No more pain. Only after my first visit.

Started going to Movewell about 2 years ago with Chris. Initially was concerned about Plantar Fasciitis, which was a quick fix. Wasn’t running when I started and now I’m up to 10.6mph sprints on the treadmill. I feel safe training there as I trust Chris won’t have me do a movement that could injury me. They…

Anthony Baccam has been working with me for a little over a year, the work these people do is life saving and life changing! Went from lower back pain, knee pain, calf strains to no injuries at all and continuing to do what I love; soccer. Whatever ache, pain, or injury you may have these guys know how to fix it!!!

Years of bad form and technique through sports and crossfit. Anthony is very patient, does a great job communicating with me to understand, troubleshoot, and customize a workout that continues to leave me in less pain and more fluid in my movements. Movewell is a must for anyone looking to relieve themselves from pain or athletes looking to greatly increase their performance in a way that is different than any type of physical training.

Review from Google · view on GoogleAngela and the guys know what they are doing. I was struggling with chronic back pain and reaccuring injuries, and after two month of rehab and posture training, the pain in gone and I've never been so functionally strong. I'd recommend them to anyone who struggles to move without pain.
