Dr. Theresa Larson DPT | CSCS | SFMA | Fitwel

Dr. Theresa Larson, affectionately known as “Dr. T”, is a leading expert and advocate for well-being and longevity across both personal and professional domains. She is the founder of Movement Rx, where she and her team help leaders and organizations optimize physical and mental health. She has become an in-demand speaker on sustained leadership performance, delivering trainings across the country and serving as a Fellow and Educator at the UVA Darden Leadership Institute. She is also one of the healthcare and fitness world’s most sought after experts on movement health and inclusive wellness.

Dr. Larson earned her doctorate in physical therapy from the University of Saint Augustine in San Diego, CA. A former Marine Corps Engineer Officer and Combat Veteran, Theresa also played professional softball in Italy and in the US, was an All- American Division I softball player at Villanova University, and a former Body-for-Life Champion.

In her work, she draws from her research and her own experience as a former Marine Corps officer who overcame severe trauma. She layers in her experiences as a healthcare provider and Fitwel Ambassador to help veterans, business leaders and owners thrive in the face of challenges such as client attrition, employee retention, and scalability issues, which are often linked to compromised mental or physical well-being of leaders and employees.

She founded Movement Rx* with her husband in 2013 in order to break free from the limitations that traditional physical therapy puts on practitioners and patients. The result was a company where skilled practitioners could authentically treat patients with the time, care, and movement education they deserve. Over the years she has evolved the business away from 1-on-1 care in order to have a greater impact on well-being for more people.

Dr. T and her team are dedicated to the performance of your organization by helping leaders, owners and employees become resilient, healthy, and happy in all they do.
