Live to Move

Dr. Molly Poenitzsch and Dr. James Poenitzsch met while pursuing their Doctor of Physical Therapy degrees at Texas Woman’s University in Houston, Texas. Now married and living in Pearland, Texas, they share interests in exercise, volunteering, their pet dogs, participating in community events, and improving the lives of others through health and well-being.
Movement builds strong hearts, muscles and bones. It helps maintain balance and coordination. Beyond the physical, movement is a significant contributor to overall mental health and well-being. Physical therapy can advance a person’s ability to move, restore function, reduce pain and prevent disability. Physical therapists are experts in movement and the human body.
At Live to Move Physical Therapy & Wellness, we believe that what you do after physical therapy concludes is as important as the physical therapy itself. To encourage you to continue your journey toward a lifestyle of wellness, individual consultation for plant-based nutrition, personal training, and therapeutic yoga classes are available. Therapeutic yoga is taught by a certified yoga teacher and offers modified ways to perform yoga poses based on your individual physical ability.
The Poenitzsch’s are motivated by the benefits of an active lifestyle and want to help you maximize your physical abilities through a lifestyle of wellness.
