2. Targeted Therapy Session

Your therapist will apply the exact amount of pressure you need based on your presentation and past medical history. This is not your typical spa massage - this is customized to you.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Michael Burell

I made my first appt with MoveWell after a week of battling sciatic pain in my left leg while hinging. Before MoveWell, I tried following YouTube rabbit holes of mobility stretches and thoroughly freaked myself out with google searches of what the problem “might” be. During my first appointment, Movewell listened to the symptoms I had been experiencing,

and evaluated me in a clinical and professional way. During my treatment, we developed a strategy to get me moving pain free again. After a few weeks of relentless focus on my PT plan, I’m pain free and smashing in the gym. Jeffrey was my PT for all of my visits with MoveWell so far. He’s an authentic and professional doc with some serious PT knowledge. Not only did we find a strategy to get me moving again, he helped me build a program to keep me moving going forward. I’ve run into both Aaron and Jeffrey while working out at Nexus, and they are both really approachable and friendly guys that are genuinely interested in helping people. If you’re looking for a PT, MoveWell will get you moving again!

I have been impressed with Movewell, and specifically Jeffrey Ashurst, since my first comprehensive evaluation appointment. He has been amazing at pinpointing issues, explaining the problem and treatment, providing helpful treatment, as well as recommending maintenance exercises and stretching that I can do on my own.

Several areas of pain were all connected, and I had no idea. I now feel better, and have a knowledge base and awareness to correct potential issues early. I am more confident in workouts and am seeing results, knowing I have the right form, tools, and what red flags to be aware of with certain movements. In the past, doctors or other PT's have been quick to tell me what I couldn't do or shouldn't do and throw medicine my way, vs. finding the actual problem and treating that directly and providing practical feedback. I highly recommend Jeffrey Ashurst to anyone!

Stephanie Robinson

The MoveWell team has become an integral part of my health and fitness schedule. With decades of sports under my belt, I have been to many great physical therapists in the past; Aaron is no exception. His knowledge and understanding of injuries and injury prevention through proper movement and strengthening is exceptional, bar none.

Not only are the treatment sessions too-notch, the MoveWell concept itself is unique and perfect for someone wanting to be proactive with their fitness routine. I have been utilizing the monthly member subscription which allows me to jump on top of a “tweak” before it becomes a bigger issue. Each session is tailored to what I need at that time. And each exercise is directed toward preventing an injury in the future. It is truly the perfect option for someone who is looking to take control of their movement patterns and prepare themselves for longevity.

The professionals at MoveWell Mobile Therapy & Performance are personable, knowledgeable, and efficient. They provide physical therapy that is highly individualized yet comprehensive. The logistics of scheduling appointments, communicating between visits, and paying for visits is easier than at a typical physical therapy franchise

physical therapy franchise (even those that take insurance). Dr. Jeffrey Ashurst's knowledge base and skill level are far superior to those of other DPTs in the Birmingham area. I can say this with confidence because other DPTs evaluated my pain and maladaptive movement patters as isolated issues, leading to a "Band-Aid" fix. Dr. Ashurst evaluates with a "big picture" mindset and, because of this, was able to accurately diagnose and treat the root cause of my issues at the initial appointment -something a handful of other physical therapists had failed to do even after numerous appointments. I have had 3 appointments with Dr. Ashurst -my pain is gone and my maladaptive movement patterns are improving at a rapid rate. I highly recommend MoveWell Mobile Therapy & Performance.

Mandy Cox

I recently had the pleasure of working with Aaron, a therapist at Movewell, and I can't say enough good things about my experience. I was dealing with severe back and hip pain and Aaron was able to work me in for an appointment quickly. He was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, helping me work through the pain and giving me exercises

to do so that I could stay in my fitness routine and make myself better. What really stood out to me about Aaron was his commitment to not just treating the immediate problem, but also providing me with options to prevent it from happening again in the future. He took the time to really listen to my concerns and come up with a personalized treatment plan that was tailored to my needs. I am so grateful for Aaron's help and expertise, and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is dealing with pain or looking to improve their overall health and fitness. Thank you, Aaron and the team at Movewell, for all that you do!

Catherine McMann

Aaron at MoveWell Mobile Therapy and Performance is extremely knowledgeable and truly cares about your personal health, recovery, and goals. I decided to visit Aaron after recently starting a CrossFit program. I found myself unable to do certain movements due to lack of mobility and not properly allowing myself to recover.

Aaron has helped me become a better athlete through scheduled recovery sessions and trainings. As a certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and US Weightlifting Coach, Aaron provides detailed instructions and tips to guide me through more difficult movements and exercises. After completing multiple sessions with Aaron, I have developed more mobility in my shoulders, ankles, and hips allowing me to reach goals I never thought I could achieve. I went from having intense lower back pain and shoulder pain to no pain at all. In each session, Aaron is always very detailed and focused on your individual needs. Not only does Aaron provide effective treatment during scheduled sessions, but he also goes above and beyond and provides at-home exercises to help you achieve positive results faster. He focuses on your overall health and not just the one problem that is being addressed during therapy. He truly cares about his clients getting better and preventing future injuries. I cannot recommend Aaron enough, especially for those competitive CrossFit athletes! Whether you’re recovering from an injury or surgery or just trying to keep your body at its peak, Aaron is your PT!

Allison Kuehn

My experience at MoveWell has been excellent! In September of last year, I was referred to Arron Sherrill for treatment on my frozen shoulder. Within a month of treatment, my pain level dropped and my range of motion improved significantly. It was at this point that I realized how my frozen shoulder had affected my overall movement, strength, and flexibility.

As Arron continued to treat my shoulder, he also addressed other issues that had arisen due to my shoulder restriction. Thanks to his expertise, consistency, and patience, I’m now much improved and well on my way to complete recovery. Thanks Aaron! MoveWell is the best!!!

Kaley has been unequivocally the key component in my mom recovering from a second hip surgery among a host of other life altering medical emergencies. While struggling to save her mobility and maintain independence, I blindly called the first number Google had to offer... Mom was older and limited to "at home" PT,

so I wasn't even sure she had options other than "Home Health" which was great but not as challenging as what we needed to ensure mom's ability to stay in her home. Despite my doubt in options, the main hurdle was moms attitude towards the whole process as she (not so) silently protested.The owner placed us with Kaley, who met with mom... While holding my breath, I asked what she thought after Kaley left and...she smiled! Mom wanted to "keep her" and 3 months later mom has regained the ability to "MoveWell"!! Don't let the pretty face fool you, Kaley is a beast with the workouts. She safely challenges mom's physical and mental limitations. She elevates the workouts each week and patiently encourages when mom displays resistance. Kaley's knowledge of the body and how to manage pain/injury is as impressive as her workouts. I don't write reviews often, but Kaley helped facilitate my mom remaining in her home after a fall/surgery that negatively impacts the lives of so many and to me, thats worth writing about... Thank you Kaley

Andrea Shapiro

GAME CHANGER! Post shoulder surgery I was driving to PT three times a week. I liked my group and they were good but I wanted GREAT. I decided to switch to AARON SHERRILL with MOVEWELL MOBILE who provides physical therapy at your home! It’s a game changer. Before you blink he’s got his table set up, bands, bars, weights you name it.

With the one hour of time you really get the soft tissue work you need. I feel like I’m a lot more engaged as opposed to rushing to some place to get 30 min of PT where I feel they are rushed and pushing patients thru. The time I’m dedicating to PT is all PT no driving or waiting. I’m at 4 months post shoulder surgery and back to doing push ups, most of my yoga moves and building strength which I had lost after my rotator cuff injury then surgery. Aaron is the most patient focused physical therapist I’ve ever worked with. He knew I was into yoga so incorporated that into my physical therapy routine. He constantly motivates me to do more. He is performance driven and will get you back to better than you were before. Guess what my house is COVID free ... perfect

I honestly didn't realize what all a good PT is capable of – or that I needed a PT – until I saw Jeffrey at MoveWell. I had (what I thought was) shoulder pain and he quickly realized that it was actually radiating from a pinched nerve in my neck. He put a plan in place that included massage therapy, chiropractic solutions and dry needling,

as well as some simple exercises that I could take home. I felt some much-needed relief after my first visit and then full recovery within a few short sessions. He even gave me some ongoing warm-ups and exercises to prevent the injury from reoccurring. If you have a lingering or specific injury, especially as a result of physical activity/exercise, I highly recommend that you try out MoveWell. Their facility is great, the people are great, and the technology that they leverage to simplify your experience is super helpful.

Movewell has been instrumental in me getting healthy. I was in a bad place with my shoulder and they have worked me back to health. They have also identified several areas I need to be working (specifically poor mid back mobility) to improve my quality of life. Their business model is very savvy as well. The concierge style approach is a huge win

The concierge style approach is a huge win for me especially since they set up at my gym - Wheelhouse Academy. Also amazing that they would create a game plan with the coaches at Wheelhouse to make sure I had the proper modifications as I was recovering from my shoulder injury. The app they use is also amazing for consistent dialogue between me and the PTs. They frequently upload helpful videos of exercises I can be doing on my own time. Movewell is amazing and I'm so thankful for their expertise and their business model!
