Hey, i'm rhianna
Founder of Milwaukee Movement
I started Milwaukee Movement because I wanted to create a different kind of sports medicine experience—one that feels personal, supportive, and empowering. My goal is to make sure every patient not only knows what their diagnosis means but also understands their care plan and feels confident in the steps we’re taking together. I want my patients to come into each appointment knowing they can communicate openly and authentically with me, without anxiety, and leave feeling understood, supported, and equipped with the tools they need to heal. I believe in collaboration—working together to design a care plan tailored specifically to each individual. Above all, I want to make sure your care feels approachable, authentic, and designed around what matters most to you.

THE vision
From Under the Lights to Leading the Movement
Hi team Milwaukee Movement! My name is Rhianna and I am the founder and owner of Milwaukee Movement. I opened the clinic in 2020 as I noticed a need in the community for quality patient care offerings for our active population. I saw that the root cause of injury was often times failing to be addressed which left patients to manage their symptoms and remain uncertain about what could actually be causing their pain.
Having spent time working in professional sports with the Houston Texans, USA Futsal National Team, Milwaukee Wave, and Milwaukee Torrent, I saw the care that was delivered to the professionals and I wanted to make that accessible to the local community of athletes.
In personally dealing with five years of chronic pain and injury, I have a passion to help my patients address their root cause of injury and return them to a life of movement!

OUR vision
Sidelines. Fanny pack. Rolls of tape. Weekend travel. Nights. Fan filled stadiums. Under the lights. This is the type of athletic trainer I wanted to be and the lifestyle that I planned to live. But graduating during a pandemic has a way of changing plans and I found myself creating Milwaukee Movement so that I could have a job.

GO back
Having had experience at the pro level, I became aware of what resources are available to the top tier of athletes. In being exposed to the gold standard level of sports medicine care, I quickly realized that there were needs in my community that were not being met. I aim to bring care thought only to be accessible to professional athletes, and make it accessible to any individual who could walk into my clinic.

Who am I?
I’m committed to empowering the next generation of athletes, business leaders, and women in Milwaukee and beyond. Athletes deserve high-quality care and unwavering support—we won't stop until they know their worth. Through my work, I hope to pave the way for future female entrepreneurs, athletes, coaches, and young dreamers to confidently make their mark.

My Transformation
Or maybe you’ve been passed from one provider to the next…
- You’ve had the scans and the imaging.
- You’ve spent months in physical therapy.
- You’ve tried one treatment after another.
That’s where I found myself at just 16 years old. Far too young to carry the weight of chronic pain and lifelong injury diagnoses.
I poured my energy into both traditional and alternative treatments, searching for answers. But years later, I was still left empty-handed, exhausted, and hopeless. The breaking point came when a doctor told me: “Maybe your pain isn’t real. Maybe it’s just in your head.”
Hearing that was devastating. It was the moment I almost gave up.
READ MY FULL STORY
My Transformation
- Countless visits with orthopedic doctors
- Weekly chiropractic adjustments
- Consults with my high school athletic trainer
- X-rays and an MRI
- 9 months of physical therapy (until insurance stopped covering, because there was no “progress”)
- Pain medication every single day
- Constant swelling in my knees
- Walking with a limp
- Ice packs every night for 3 years
- Forced to quit club volleyball and running
- Told: “You should never run more than a mile.”
- Strict shoes, strict diet changes, endless supplements…
Everything I Tried
My Transformation
- Never give up on a patient.
- Look beyond masking symptoms—address the root cause.
- Believe in every person’s potential for a pain-free life.
The Turning Point

My Transformation
Here’s what I promise them:
- Gentle encouragement and genuine hope
- A safe space to be heard and believed
- A treatment plan that keeps going when others have stopped
- A cheerleader at every single session
- A partner who won’t give up—ever
