Meet the Team at The Movement Lab in Edmond, OK
We Built the Clinic We Wished Existed
The Movement Lab was founded because good physical therapy for athletes was hard to find. We built the clinic we wished existed — root cause care, one-on-one attention, and a performance-first approach that doesn't stop at pain relief.
One-on-One Care Built Around the Root Cause
How you move matters — and so does understanding why. Every Movement Lab session is one full hour with your DPT, focused on uncovering the root cause of your pain and building you back stronger than before.
Our Values
What We Believe About Movement and Care
Our care philosophy isn't borrowed from a textbook. It's built on what we believe about movement, about athletes, and about what physical therapy should actually deliver.
Movement Matters to Everyone
Whether you're running marathons or chasing your kids, your ability to move freely is worth fighting for.
Root Cause Over Symptom Chasing
We find what's causing the pain, not just what's making it loud. That distinction is how lasting results happen.
One-on-One, Every Single Session
No aides. No hand-offs. No 15-minute check-ins. Just you and your DPT for a full hour, every time.
Honest, Transparent Care
We tell you what we find, what we plan to do, and why. No mystery, no guessing — just honest communication about your care.
Our Team
Meet the Providers Behind The Movement Lab
Athletes. Clinicians. Coach-minded DPTs who have been where you are and know what it takes to come back stronger.
Dr. Aaron Mora
DPT
Physical Therapist, Owner/Founder
Dr. Aaron Mora earned his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Langston University and has been practicing since 2012, working across outpatient and home health settings with patients of all ages and backgrounds. He founded The Movement Lab in 2023 after identifying a widespread gap in how traditional PT addressed motor control and movement quality — and set out to build something different.
Aaron grew up in Guymon, Oklahoma, as a multi-sport athlete whose own knee injury first drew him to physical therapy. Outside the clinic, he stays active through working out, playing sports, climbing mountains, fishing, and coaching his kids' teams — and brings that same athlete's mindset to every patient he works with.
Dr. Cody Mayes
PT, DPT, CSCS
Physical Therapist
Dr. Cody Mayes earned his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from South College in 2023, building on a background in personal training that began in 2015. Growing up in Claremore, Oklahoma, Cody was a competitive runner and collegiate soccer player — and today he continues testing his limits through ultramarathons and Ironman triathlons.
Cody's firsthand experience with endurance training, injury, and recovery shapes how he approaches every patient. He brings a deep understanding of what it actually takes to train hard, stay healthy, and get back to the sport you love — not just get through it.
Dr. Sydney Ashton
PT, DPT
Physical Therapist
Dr. Sydney Ashton earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in 2024. Growing up in Duncan, Oklahoma, she trained as a competitive dancer for 15 years, developing a deep appreciation for movement quality, discipline, and performance that she carries into every session.
A knee injury during her dance career introduced Sydney to physical therapy — and lit a passion for strength training that has shaped her clinical approach ever since. She's especially passionate about helping active individuals and athletes return to the activities they love, moving better and more confidently than before.
What Our Patients Are Saying
Serving runners, athletes, and active adults in Edmond, Oklahoma City, and surrounding OKC metro communities.
I started seeing Aaron because my ankle had started giving me problems and making it hard to walk. With young kids, I really needed to make sure I could keep up with them and their daily activities. Over just a few sessions, Aaron has helped me reduce the pain and strengthen the muscles. He is very professional and knowledgeable in helping me get back to doing normal sporting activities.

Phil Klutts
I've been seeing Dr. Mora for a couple of months, first time in a year I've not been in constant pain. He listens and we make a plan together. With Dr. Mora it's not just sitting on a table with a timer. He'll do manual therapy and then we end up in the gym doing exercises that are applicable to my situation. He watches the movement, and provides feedback on form. I get his full attention for the entire session.
Michelle May
I've known Aaron for a very long time. You couldn't ask for a better provider. He takes great care with each patient and is very knowledgeable in his field. This is a great company and well worth your time.
Joel Franks
Aaron has been incredibly helpful in just a few sessions with my knee pain and mobility. He thoroughly explained what’s causing my limitations and how best to address them. Looking forward to continuing to work with him!
Andrew Gibbs
Aaron is fantastic. He pin pointed the exact issue why my 10 year was having hip pain after soccer practice. I highly recommend him.
Nancy Meoli
Aaron is awesome! There's not a lot of movement based practitioners in Oklahoma. Aaron has a movement first, systematic approach that treats pain from the root, not the symptom. It's refreshing to get treatment that's designed to get me back into the activities I enjoy doing. 10/10 would recommend!
Isaac McCay
Aaron has been great to work with! He’s helped me come back from an injury, start rebuilding my strength and is helping me work towards new goals.

My boys love working out with Aaron. He’s well versed in age appropriate exercises and very encouraging.

Chase Cooper
I definitely recommend. Aaron got my shoulder out of a funk last year. Simple exercises with thoughtful instruction and explanation.
Jonathan Curtis
Aaron met with my son who plays soccer for a thorough assessment, and I couldn’t be more impressed. He identified key areas of concern that, while not yet problematic, could develop into issues over time if left unaddressed. He then developed a personalized plan to address these concerns, not only to prevent injury but also to enhance my son’s performance on the field.
Steven Querry
Aaron helped get my son back in the pool and on the basketball court quickly. He did an extensive intake and individualized a plan to meet his goals. He enjoyed the sessions and is excited about training moving forward.

Aaron has helped with multiple pain issues that I was dealing with on a daily basis, even some that I've dealt with for years. He has proven that making even the smallest changes, can have a positive impact on how our bodies feel. I would highly recommend anyone to see Aaron, no matter how big or small the pain or injury is. It has truly been life changing when it comes to my daily activities.
Katie
Dr. Aaron Mora helped both of my student athletes get back on the court. Each have had knee surgery and Aaron’s expertise helped them recover more quickly and correctly. Because he sees patients one on one, he’s able to make sure the body is moving correctly and give them exercises that fix any issues. He’s fun, personable, and he cares about his patients! I highly recommend him.

Aaron is a great PT. He takes time to fully understand your body’s issues and then helps you come up with treatment methods that specifically apply to your body, occupational demands, and lifestyle.
Bryan Lee
Aaron was quickly able to assess my issues and provide me with the plan to help me recover. I am well on my way to improving from long-term chronic reoccurring injuries related to my walking mechanics.
Steve Davis
Aaron is amazing. Not your normal PT. I came in wanting to improve my movement patterns and address inconsistencies/imbalances that lead to pain/tightness. I'm well on my way.
Clint Algood
Aaron has done a great job helping my son work on his knee. I have been working with PTs for years and Aaron is top notch.

Highly recommend Aaron and The Movement Lab!
L Ren
Came in with lower back problems, not being able to get up in the mornings without being painfully tight and sore. 10 visits later and no lower back pain and now exercises to do on my own to continue strengthening my back so I don’t have flare ups! Aaron really listens to you and tailors workouts to target your specific problem areas.
Justin Matlock
Great stuff Aaron, the owner, is awesome about helping you along the way very knowledgeable and approachable. I had chronic knee pain for 4 years from jumping and playing volleyball and with Aaron’s help I’m back to playing volleyball pain free

Kyla Hobgood
Aaron is phenomenal at what he does! He very thorough and professional, knowledgeable and informative. I cannot recommend Movement Lab enough!
Liz Steiger
Aaron helped me tremendously! I was preparing for my first marathon as I began struggling with intense knee pain. After trying to fix the issue myself, I realize I needed more help. Aaron was the perfect resource as he helped me get through my training/race with relatively no pain at all! Highly recommend Movement lab!
Preston Richardson
Dr. Mora has really helped me better understand how certain movement has impacted my injury and how treatment and my prescribed movement can also help me improve my ankle and tendon. On top of that, he has encouraged me that, I too, am an athlete and I can do hard things. He’s helping prepare for the Hyrox competition. He is truly holistic in his approach to treatment, recovery, and maintenance. 💪🏾😁
Chez Redmond
Aaron was awesome to work with! I highly recommend The Movement Lab!
Polly Root
I was having severe lower back pain. Dr. Mora showed great knowledge of what the problem was, worked with me on a number of exercises, including proper form, and he also showed me how to correct posture problems that I have had for my whole life basically. I would highly recommend him.
Brad Knauer
Not only did Dr Mora help me with my immediate PT need, he helped me fix my training form and showed me ways to activate my core.
Paul Ryckbost
Dr Aaron has helped me so much for sports recovery and fixing my squat form!

I worked with Aaron at the Movement Lab for lower back pain that had been consistent for a few years and recently worsened. He quickly diagnosis the issue and we were able to work toward a solution. The one on one treatment and then the videos through the app for home workouts were so beneficial. Pain free now, Highly recommend.
Ashley Rob
"If you are struggling with pain and need someone who genuinely cares, Aaron is the one to see. The state-of-the-art equipment is impressive, but his knowledge and dedication are even more so. He works tirelessly to create an exercise plan tailored to individual needs, and the results have been incredible."
Jill Mixer
Aaron has been super helpful in giving me ways strengthen my problem area. I'm confident I know what to do if/when it gives me trouble in the future.
Tristin Pitts
Aaron is hands-down the best in the game. I’m grinding working 40 hours a week doing hard labor, and still clocking 40 miles weekly. His recovery treatment has been a game-changer. No injuries, no setbacks—just smooth, strong miles. Last week, I closed out the final 3 miles of an 11 mile long run at a 5:15 pace, feeling solid. If you're serious about getting to that elite level, get to The Movement Lab. Aaron’s the real deal.
muse rnz
Before coming to the movement lab I suffered from a lot of pain in my knee. This was preventing me to do my favorite thing which is run. Aaron is great to work with as he has not only helped me strengthen myself but I have no more pain. Working with Aaron is great not only on a physical level but also mentally, he makes me more confident in myself and how I can incorporate more workouts in my lifestyle.
noelle mercado
Aaron is truly a kind and caring person. I am proud to call him a friend and know he will always take care of his clients.

They helped me finally run a marathon after getting injured during training my first few attempts! Thank you guys!
Evan Anderson
The Movement Lab OK is an elite facility. Aaron and Cody genuinely care about their clients and know exactly what they’re doing. They’ve been instrumental in helping me prep for a 50-mile ultra, keeping me healthy, strong, and moving the right way. The environment is professional, welcoming, and results-driven. If you’re an athlete or just serious about taking care of your body, this is the place to be. Highly recommend.
kinyon parker
Cody and Aaron are both great! They both worked to get the root of what was causing my pain and limited mobility vs just treating symptoms. They provide excellent education from how to do an exercise, to proper mechanics all the way to the best way to structure your workouts for your goals. Highly recommend!
Brittany Ray
I started seeing Aaron months ago and he fixed my problem on the first day. Then he took the time to help me correct years of poor form. I’ve felt amazing since. I can’t recommend these guys enough!
Michael Koss
Great experience working with Aaron at the Movement Lab. The process of assessment and continual learning /understanding of progress and results was exactly what I needed. Aaron asks questions, listens, shares his expertise and remains flexible to adjust as needed in his approach to treatment. My knee pain has subsided and the muscles that support the joint are stronger. I’ll continue seeking his expertise!
Marcia Sauzek
With the help of Dr. Aaron I’ve been able to completely retrain how I lift and move day to day! I’ve struggled with back pain for years, unknowingly I was causing so much damage simply by not using the correct muscles to lift things safely. I’m happy to say my lower back is no longer a constant issue for me! Highly recommend!
Bethany Finch
Dr Mora performed a gait analysis for my chronic knee pain and quickly discovered the core of my issues. He did a wonderful job explaining and showing me from the video what I needed to work towards. His knowledge and time are priceless! Only schedule if you’re ready to get stronger.
Myranda Partin
Cody has been my PT for quite some time. He is an endurance athlete like myself, so he can relate to what I need. I originally saw him for Achilles pain and now go to him for ongoing maintenance of my body. He’s great, nice, and knowledgeable.
Ben Steiger
Aaron exceeded my expectations, his assessments exposed my weak points and his approach of loosening the muscle then strengthening them was exactly what I needed. Would highly recommend
Giovanni Genuzio
So appreciative of the team at The Movement Lab. I'm a newbie long distance runner and came in with what I thought was tendinitis. Movement Lab helped me better understand a long acting shin splint, gave me exercises that genuinely helped and tools to implement to get back to running! Can't recommend them enough!
Katie Keyser
I did not know what to expect when I signed up for my first appointment. I was admittedly a little nervous and frustrated about my pain. Dr. Mora and his team put me immediately at ease. I now recommend this place to anyone experiencing pain from exercise, accident or aging. They are so hospitable and knowledgable.
Jessica Rimmer
I love the Movement Lab!! Cody helped me build my strength to get back to jiu jitsu after my back injury! Highly recommend.
