History San Luis Sports Therapy & Orthopedic Rehabilitation was acquired by Jim Glinn, Jr. in 1999 in San Luis Obispo, CA. Jim s vision was to create a collaborative, community involved team that prioritized patient care above all else and also had fun working together to change the lives of those they treated. At that time, a fundamental philosophy was established regarding the business and practice of physical therapy. These efforts led to growth from one clinic in 1999 to twenty-two successful clinics today. Along the way, some of our physical therapists became shareholders and in 2015 Team Movement for Life of icially became the largest employee owned outpatient private practice group in the country. As San Luis Sports Therapy grew, so did its identity! We are known as Avid Physical Therapy, Athlon Physical Therapy, Central Valley Physical Therapy, Score Physical Therapy, Specialized Physical Therapy, and collectively as Team Movement For Life. Our Administrative and Billing teams are based out of San Luis Obispo, CA and provide support to each clinic location. Within the Administrative team, departments include Accounting, Human Resources, Marketing, and Education & Development. Each region has its own Business Development Director who coordinates marketing and community involvement in concert with the local Clinic Directors. The company s expansion has provided opportunities for team members and other professional colleagues who recognize the value and vision of our team to deliver the same level of service within our communities. About Team Movement For Life We are an employee-owned private practice with outpatient clinics in California, Arizona, and North Carolina that rewards individuals for their contributions. We are always looking for sharp, motivated physical therapists to join our team. Movement For Life is everything we do. Improving and enhancing the lives of our team and the communities we serve. We believe we can change more lives together than we can alone. 3

Acquisitions, Mergers & Partnerships The Movement for Life Team is always looking for like-minded professionals to work with. We are open to exploring opportunities of all kinds and if we believe there is a good it among people, approach, and goals then we look to move forward with developing an ongoing relationship. Our approach includes ive key factors to bring two teams together successfully: 1. Fit While we look at the strategic it, opportunity, and viability of a possible relationship with an existing practice. The leadership and the team is what makes a practice succeed. Without the right people, it won t work. 2. Mutual Bene it Once we ve found a potential partner, we then explore the possibilities. We take time to make sure the relationship will indeed be a good it, which includes meeting staff and understanding what their goals and desires are. 3. Local Management In all cases we will have identi ied a local director to run the practice. In some cases the director may be the existing director/owner, in other cases another employee in the practice, or we may have an existing team member to take on the role. 13
Acquisitions, Mergers & Partnerships 4. Consistency Our intent is to keep things as consistent as possible with a new partnership, being careful to not disrupt the aspects that drew our initial interest. Usually this centers around the team of individuals that built the practice to what it is. We make every effort to treat employees of new partners as our own long-time team members from day one. This includes providing opportunity and working with staff to achieve their own goals while also holding all team members to our high standards for both service and growth. 5. Integration We recognize the value and experience employees of a practice bring. We offer the same training, resources, and bene its to all employees. Typically, employees will be grandfathered into our bene its program recognizing their time with their previous employer. We integrate a new partner practice into our existing back of ice and administrative systems while leaving day-to-day patient service and staff management to be handled locally. The bene it of this solid and established model goes beyond improved processes and ef iciency by providing the security of a larger organization and the lexibility and responsiveness of a small, locally managed practice. 14
