Cause first. Symptoms follow.
You’ve chased the ache before and nobody told you why it started. We look for the why first, then treat what we find.
About Moore Physical Therapy
Twenty-four years. Same owner. Same town.
Marc Moore was born and raised in Mesa. He founded Moore Physical Therapy in 2002 and still owns all three clinics. Today: physical therapists, assistants and exercise specialists across three East Valley clinics, with care directed by a licensed physical therapist at every visit.
Our Story
This isn’t our story. It’s yours.
Marc Moore, PT, MPT, Founder
Marc Moore finished his Master’s in Physical Therapy at Northern Arizona University in 1999. He founded Moore Physical Therapy in 2002. Twenty-four years later there are three clinics, in Mesa, Tempe and Gold Canyon, and the reason is not marketing. It is that people kept sending their neighbors.
Marc was born and raised in Mesa and has spent those same years volunteering across the East Valley. That is not a line on a website. It means the person on the treatment table is someone we will see again at the grocery store, at a ballgame, at church. You do not cut corners on care you have to stand behind in public.
Outside the clinic, Marc is with his wife Michelle and their five kids, or coaching, running, camping, traveling or fishing. The patients who do best here tend to be the same sort: the ones who fix things, their houses, their teams, their families. This is where they finally fix the thing they have been putting off, which is themselves.
What We Believe
Encourage hope, add joy, and gain ability, together.
Plans end. That’s the point.
You shouldn’t need a punch card. Your plan runs Pain, Prime, Perform, Prevent, and you always know which phase you’re in.
Committed, and it shows.
The practice puts it this way: we are committed and dedicated to our staff, patients, and our community. Twenty-four years in the East Valley is the receipt.
The Difference
Owner-operated changes what happens in the room.
A typical clinic
- Nobody explains why it started, only where it hurts
- Your session gets split with whoever else is booked
- The same pain creeps back in a few months
- No graduation date, just book again next week
Moore Physical Therapy
- Care directed by a licensed physical therapist, every visit
- Exercise specialists guide your program, working from your therapist’s plan
- A cause-first evaluation before we treat anything
- A plan with an endpoint, mapped out on day one
Nobody regrets starting too early. You’ll know the difference on visit one.

The Work
What a session looks like.
Rooted in Mesa
This is our neighborhood, not our market.
Marc grew up here, and 24 years of patients have been our neighbors, our teammates and our kids’ coaches. The mom who keeps pushing through it so nobody else has to worry? We know her well. She is usually the one who waited the longest, and she gets the same plan and the same hands as everyone else here.
