“Kaitlyn was amazing! I have been ignoring back problems for years even after just one appointment I felt so much better. As a first time client she was great explaining each step”

Matthew R.April 10, 2025

“I saw Kait for a postpartum appointment and it was so helpful. I had some back pain and wanted to get some help with my diastasis recti/scar following my second c-section—since it was my second, I knew that wanted to be more proactive about my recovery. The appointment was amazing, she listened to my concerns and explained things that my doctor didn’t (for example, my doctor said that he thought my scar felt “thick,” but didn’t explain what that meant or how I could help it other than silicone strips). In addition to the work she did during the appointment itself, she gave me some scar massage techniques and exercises to do at home to help bring my muscles back together. If you’re looking for a good place to start for postpartum support, I can recommend South Bay Movement & Wellness enough!”

Kaitlyn is the Best

November 23, 2023Richard J.Verified patient

I was immediately impressed by the cleanliness of the office. I was the last appointment of the day and it looked like they had just opened. The staff was friendly and efficient in processing paperwork and my insurance information. Dr. Clarke was amazing. I have several autoimmune conditions and had recently just recovered from a surgery and an accident. She made me feel heard and she understood the many layers of issues I was experiencing. She communicated all of her actions before performing them which really helped me feel at ease. My initial consult was very thorough. I left the appointment feeling better and also grateful that I may have found a doctor that will actual help me heal.

Love Kaitlyn!! She understanding and is truly there to heal you. I leave each appointment feeling great. The best chiropractor I know!

October 24, 2023Michelle B.Verified patient

I've been to other chiropractors but my treatment with Dr. Kait can't be matched! She truly cares about getting me better and each treatment is so much more than just an adjustment. She works on my muscles with ART, cupping and scraping, and gives me new exercises/stretches and recommendations each visit. This is the first time I feel like a doctor is listening to my issues and addressing my needs appropriately. THANK YOU!

Kaitlyn helped me to restore my gut issues with diet and nutritional guidance, and probiotics. She also helped me manage my daily pain from Lupus and eventually got me interested in accupunture. Im a different person than I was 3 yrs.ago upon meeting her. I love the calm and peaceful ascentic of this enviroment. The people that work here are so nice and its truly a pleasant experience, rare to find these days!

The minute you walk in the door, the healing begins. You are greeted at the front desk by friendly staff. It is a brand new building and state of the art facility. It is an integrative practice where different disciplines may be used to help you. Under one roof, there are Chiropractic, Physical Therapy, Nutritional Counseling, Acupuncture and Medical Massage. Dr Clarke is attentive and caring. That is evident from the start. She is certified in several different methods and uses all of her knowledge and experience to help you. When you leave, you feel better physically and emotionally. Anyone that I’ve recommended to go there, feels the same way. I highly recommend Dr Clarke and her wonderful Wellness Center.

Dr. Kait was really attentive to everything that was bothering me, communicated brilliantly to keep me informed of what movements she was doing and why, and I felt amazing walking out of there. I've seen such a difference in my pain levels and mobility since being treated by Dr. Kait. Not only did she help me during my appointment but she gave me practical stretches and movements to do at home. She's even a certified nutritionist and provided me with nutritional directives to help keep me feeling my best.
