I’ve been working out for years, but I never really followed a consistent routine. I would usually do random exercises without much structure, which made it harder to stay motivated and track my progress. Since joining Lift Club with Mike, I’ve been much more consistent with my workouts. Having a structured program to follow makes a huge difference, and I like knowing that each workout has a purpose. I’ve known Mike for a long time and have always trusted his knowledge and professionalism. The workouts are well thought out, and I really enjoy the new routines they release each month. The app also makes it easy to track my workouts, steps, and overall progress. I’ve had a great experience with Mike and his team. The structure and community have helped me stay motivated and make real progress. Highly recommend!

I can’t recommend Movement Chiropractic and Sports Recovery enough. Mike, Sarah, and Garrett have all been incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping me feel and perform my best. They helped me work my way back from a shoulder injury, and now, anytime I have an issue with my body as an athlete, they’re the first people I go to. Whether it’s recovery, an injury, or just something that doesn’t feel quite right, I know I’m in great hands with their team. The reception staff is also amazing — everyone is welcoming, friendly, and makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. 10/10 experience and 10/10 recommendation. If you’re an athlete or just looking to take better care of your body, go see this team!

Accompanied my friend and son for a session and was totally impressed with the customer service, relaxed atmosphere, care and attention to his patients. If you've never been, you really should check out their list of services and schedule a visit. You won't be disappointed. Thank you.

Dr. Mike and the entire team at Movement Chiropractic and Sports Recovery are wonderful! As someone who is def a beginner in strength training, made it a point to search for a practice that is not only patient centered with knowledgeable staff, but also a place that creates a safe and welcoming environment for people at all stages in their health journey. Movement is all of that and more. Am truly appreciative of all the guidance, support and encouragement from the Movement team!

There’s so much I could say, but here’s what stands out: Dr. Mike and his team (Dr. Sarah, Johanna, Immi) genuinely care about your long-term health. They don’t just treat symptoms—they focus on helping you get stronger, move better, and stay injury-free. They’re incredible listeners, knowledgeable, and deeply invested in both their clients and the community. They practice what they preach, whether it’s training for local races like the Long Beach Half or creating a supportive environment where everyone feels welcome. I’ve been part of their Lift Club, and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made. I’ve never felt stronger or more confident, and I know I can always count on the team whenever something doesn’t feel right. They make you feel at home, they know what they’re doing, and they’re simply great people.

I'm so glad I found Dr. Mike and his team at Movement Chiropractic. As someone in my 40s who strength trains seriously, sports recovery isn't optional for me. It's essential to performance and how I feel. Dr. Mike always fixes me up, but what really stands out is how knowledgeable and personalized his care is. The office also has their private professional gym attached to the treatment area, so he's been able to work with me directly on correcting my posture and lifting mechanics to prevent injuries before they happen. The whole experience feels like a treat every time. The staff is friendly, and the space is exceptionally clean and beautiful with some of the best equipment and gadgets. Everyone genuinely cares. I train better, recover faster, and perform at a higher level thanks to Dr. Mike and his team. I've recommended their office to several friends, and they love it just as much as I do. Can't recommend them enough!

Decided to give this place a call after my sciatica had gotten so severe that I could hardly walk or sit, and much of my leg was numb. Following my initial consultation with Dr. Sarah, I immediately felt hopeful. After just a few weeks of training, I have returned to my normal routine and feel like I have my life back. I am so grateful to the entire team for their help. 100/10 would recommend!

I attended Movement Chiro for neck issues and a need for a full adjustment. This not your normal chiropractor, where you get adjusted and book your next appt. I was paired with Dr. Sarah Allen, she is great with her knowledge and expertise. In one appt, I had very little ROM in my neck. Let’s say I had 40% ROM back when I walked out of the first appt. After about 3 to 4 sessions I was back to normal. Each session is was different to load the area of injury with resisted weights to create fluid motion back. With a five star hospitality you have to book your spot with Dr Sarah Allen, she’ll get you back! I promise, Dr. Mike is great also let’s not get it twisted. Thank you MCSR, I Look forward to seeing you soon.

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Sarah and Dr. Mike at Movement Chiropractic in Long Beach they are absolutely the real deal! I came in with a stubborn shoulder injury that had been lingering for way too long and was seriously threatening my ability to compete in an upcoming competition I had been training hard for. Dr. Sarah took my situation seriously from day one. She didn’t just treat the symptoms, she took the time to understand my goals, my timeline, and what I needed to get back to performing at my best. Her knowledge, thoroughness, and genuine care made all the difference. Thanks to her treatment plan and the support of Dr. Mike, I was not only able to recover, I made it to my competition ready to go. That outcome means everything to me, and I genuinely don’t think I would have gotten there without this team. Beyond the exceptional care, the facility itself is outstanding. They have an awesome gym on-site, which made the rehab process so much more effective and seamless. Between Dr. Mike and Dr. Sarah, the level of knowledge and expertise at this practice is unmatched. You can tell they are passionate about what they do and truly invested in their patients’ success. If you’re an athlete dealing with an injury or anyone who wants to be treated by people who actually know their stuff Movement Chiropractic is the place to go. Highly, highly recommend!

Mike and his team are true professionals. I came to Mike with a few issues that had come up while training for my recent ultramarathon race and he immediately fit me into his busy schedule. When I arrived I was greeted by Johanna as soon as I walked in the door and she made sure I was comfortable while waiting to be seen. Mike had taken his time with me during our session and made sure that I understood every thing we were working on. After our session I was given things that I could work on after my visit. I’ve seen great improvement since my visit and I look forward to returning this month to continue working with Mike and his team. Thank you again Movement team! 🙏🏻

Wow! I absolutely LOVE movement chiropractic! Everyone here is so knowledgeable and helpful. First of all you won’t find another chiropractic experience like this, it’s physical therapy, personal training with the eye of a chiropractor who practices what they preach! Come here for movement rehab, for injury rehab, just general wellbeing and strength training with a side of genuine community. Cant say enough about Dr. Mike and his whole team. Quality training and pain relief every time!

This by far is one of the best businesses I’ve ever used. I will admit I was hesitant on using another chiropractic service for my neck and back pain, as I have not had great experiences in the past. However, I was referred by a friend who spoke highly about them and now I see why. After my first session, not only did I feel significantly better, I felt positive about my path forward. If you’re looking for a place to provide a better perspective as well as solutions on pain management, and not just temporary pain relief treatments, then this is the place to go. I finally found a place where someone could confidently explain why I’m experiencing my pain and how to get me back to the level I wanted to function without the pain. After so many years and prior doctors, this was finally a success! Working with Dr. Mike was an absolute pleasure and definitely worth the investment. He went above and beyond with all the resources and solutions he provided, which shows that he genuinely cares and wants to help. He got me back functioning day-to-day without pain and to feeling confident in competing again. Although I didn’t work with Dr. Sarah, I saw how knowledgeable and attentive she was with her clients. I appreciated how friendly she was to me from day 1 and how she treated me as if I was one of her clients. The rest of their team (Joanna, Immie, Tawni, and Garrett) are amazing as well. From the moment you enter, to the time you leave, everyone is so kind, welcoming and fun. You know it’s a great place when you want to hang out with them outside of the business. It’s so good I recommend it to people out of city/state! This is the only place that has helped my back and neck pain. It’s a nice/professional facility and would 100% recommend them. Thank you team!

What a dream team! Everyone at Movement is super committed to seeing you meet your goals. I went in with a grab-bag of injuries, and Dr. Sarah and Dr. Mike plus their whole staff got me back on track. Both of them are so good at listening to you, a rare quality these days. They will sit there and take note of everything before building out their extremely tailored plan made to get you better. Whatever they did or had me do felt personalized to my injuries, capabilities, and so on. Nothing ever felt like cookie cutter exercises or general rehab methods--they really go the extra mile to make custom for YOU. I strongly recommend both doctors, their services, and their facility in general. The space is super clean and high quality and overall has a really friendly vibe.

In October 2025, I was bed ridden from the worst back pain I had ever experienced. I wasn’t able to walk or stand longer than a minute and I was leaning on my left side. After getting X-rays and an MRI, it was confirmed that I had a 10 mm herniated disc and slight scoliosis. I called Movement Chiropractic and started the 8 pack session with Sarah and she honestly changed my life! She encouraged me to continue strength training and gave me a list of exercises and dynamic stretches that I can work on outside of our sessions. She also went through my x-ray and MRI results with me and explained it in a way that I can understand which was incredibly helpful. During sessions, I would explain my symptoms and Sarah would immediately know how to address it. I asked to be pushed and challenged and she absolutely delivered. I’m now the strongest that I have ever been and feel brand new! I am no longer afraid to deadlift or hip thrust. I now incorporate these exercises to my work outs every week! Everyone at Movement is so kind and they tell you how proud they are of your progress. I highly recommend going to Movement Chiropractic if you deal with consistent pain! I am so happy that I did! 🙂

I’ve been working with Garrett for about two months now and he’s just the best! His sessions are not only something I look forward to, but they’re incredibly helpful and he’s knowledgeable. He always checks in first, I love this. He clearly knows me, what we have been working on, what my needs are and he makes this clear every session. He asks for my input and also has a clear plan for me in place. My favorite is that the session includes an assessment, some strength training work specific to me, table time they call it and then a relaxation finisher. Highly recommend!!

Working with Dr. Mike and his team has been a game changer for me. I came in wanting to get stronger and deal with some wear and tear from years of basketball, but it’s been way more than that. Dr. Mike has helped me understand my body on a deeper level and completely change how I approach discomfort. I’ve been able to address ongoing knee and lower back issues that I used to just live with, and everything we do feels really intentional and specific to me. I also really appreciate the welcoming atmosphere created by the team especially the reception. They are attentive, caring and always willing to lend a listening ear which makes it feel more like a community-based establishment than a for-profit business. Because of this, I leave every session feeling more confident, motivated, and locked in to keep improving. Couldn’t recommend joining the Movement team more!!

I’ve been coming here for years for chiropractic treatment, and it’s always so good. Adding the strength coach program has taken everything to another level. I’ve improved across the board and feel better than ever. Garret is an amazing strength coach —super knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely cares about your progress. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Impressive and well rounded. Very clean, organized, knowledgeable and friendly. Will absolutely recommend this facility/business to my family and friends....
