Your Blueprint for Optimal Movement
Who We Are
PAYA movement is a mobile, cash-based physical therapy service serving Irvine and surrounding areas. We work with people of all ages and activity levels—whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing chronic pain, or aiming to move and perform better for the long term. Our approach focuses on identifying and correcting movement system impairments—the hidden movement faults that often cause pain or limit performance. Every session is one-on-one, tailored to your body, and delivered wherever you are—home, gym, office, or even the outdoors—because optimal movement is personal, and pain-free function starts with fixing how you move.
