ABOUT SAHAND ROSTAMI, B.S.

Kinesiologist | Injury & Performance Specialist

My journey into movement and performance started with a personal transformation. As an overweight teenager with poor eating habits, I made the decision at 16 to change my life—losing over 40 pounds and discovering a passion for health and human movement. That experience sparked a fire that would shape the course of my career.

While I originally pursued a degree in Mechanical Engineering, drawn to analytical thinking and problem-solving, something unexpected happened during my time in school: I found a deep passion for personal training and manual therapy. I realized the human body is the most dynamic and complex machine of all—and I was determined to understand how to restore, optimize, and fine-tune its performance.

Blending my engineering mindset with advanced study in biomechanics, motor control, and movement assessment, I developed a precision-based, problem-solving approach to resolving pain and enhancing movement. That’s when The Movement Engineer was born.

Whether you’re dealing with pain, recovering from injury, or working toward peak performance, my mission is to help you move better, feel better, and unlock your full potential. I approach the body the way an engineer approaches a complex system—by identifying root causes and building long-term solutions.

My Specialties Include:

• NeuroKinetic Therapy® (NKT)

• Active Release Techniques® (ART)

• Corrective Exercise & Manual Therapy

• Injury Rehabilitation & Return-to-Play

I’ve worked with athletes, professionals, and everyday movers who want to train smarter, overcome pain, and build strong, resilient bodies. My own background in martial arts and collegiate track & field (400m & 4x400m relay) gives me a deep understanding of movement under pressure.

In addition to in-studio services, I offer mobile sessions to clients in Orange County and Los Angeles by appointment. Outside the studio, I’m a lifelong learner and a proud husband and father. My wife and children inspire me daily to keep growing and to help others do the same.
