About us

Emily Moreno, PT, DPT, FAAOMPT

Founder, Stretch Goals Physical Therapy

I’m Emily Moreno, a concierge physical therapist based in the South Bay of Los Angeles, and the founder of Stretch Goals Physical Therapy. I specialize in helping millennial athletes, weekend warriors, and individuals with hypermobility take back control of their bodies and live pain-free, active lives — without being told to “just rest.”

I began my journey in the field of physical therapy in 2011 as a PTA. Within months, I realized I wanted to do more for my patients — to fully answer their questions and guide their care with confidence. That led me to earn my Doctorate of Physical Therapy from George Washington University in 2017. But even then, I felt there was more to learn — more I could offer. I pursued and completed a Fellowship in Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy (FAAOMPT), an advanced distinction held by fewer than 10% of physical therapists nationwide.

Along the way, I discovered a passion for treating movement system disorders, tendinopathy, and individuals with hypermobility — especially those who’ve been dismissed, misunderstood, or told to stop doing the things they love. My work is rooted in listening deeply, treating holistically, and giving people the tools and strategies they need to reclaim their health.

I’m currently expanding my expertise through the Institute of Clinical Excellence, working toward advanced certifications in Fitness and Endurance Athlete care. I also create and present educational content for fellow therapists and medical professionals within a nationally recognized healthcare system.

At Stretch Goals, my mission is simple: to empower you with clarity, confidence, and a plan that actually works for your unique body. Because your symptoms aren’t just in your head — and your best years are not behind you.
