Hey, it's Dr. Matt Casturo

Like you, I'm passionate about MOVEMENT and helping people live their best lives through health and fitness.

After earning my Exercise Science and Doctorate of Physical Therapy degrees, I decided that I was going to share everything I know with YOU.

The primary goal of The Movement System is to share the Science of Human Movement with YOU to help you become a better coach. 

We created Movement Assessment 101 to take you behind the scenes.

We want to show you exactly how to assess your athlete's movement and problem solve so that you can get them moving, feeling, and performing at their best.
